While having lunch at Food Choices the other day, Mika pointed to one of the restaurants and asked for its name. “Cucina“, I answered, then I went on to go look for food to order.
When I came back, Mika was so excited.
Mika: “Mom! I know how to read that! I know how to read that!” (pointing to the restaurant name)
Me: “Wow! Really?? Okay please read it for me?”
Mika: *pointing at the sign and “reading” intently* “Seee (C)….You (U)…. Seee (C)…. A…. TITCHEN (kitchen)!”
Me: (Naglolokohan na rin tayo eh...) “Wow!!! Good job!!! But I think you read it in another version anak…but yes you’re right the English word for ‘cucina’ is kitchen! Yaay!!”
This has been one awesome Sunday! This month has been so full of activities that for the past two Sundays, I haven’t been able to attend our weekend services. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I missed worshiping and singing at the top of my lungs, seeing my spiritual family, and of course listening to my dear husbandry preach the Word.
So today was quite a comeback! This weekend marked our third year as a church in Greenhills. There were no gimmicks at all, but in celebration of our third year, we just launched our third service! Yes! Three on three! God has been so faithful to us as a church and I am just so amazed at how He has been moving in the lives of all the people. I am just super kilig with you Lord. Ibang klase ka talaga!! *siiighhh….*
Anyway, aside from the three services, one of the highlights of this day for me was hearing an amazing woman’s testimony of courage and strength. Raissa Laurel, one of the victims of the La Salle bombing a few months back, is a member of our church in Ortigas and there is no denying that this woman exudes with so much grace and faith. I’m posting a video of her testimony that our friend took earlier. (Thank you Carlo!)
(*side note: this was her first time to give her testimony in church so she made it really short. Hehe…I got the privilege of hearing the extended version over dinner.)
“Be careful what you pray for.” God takes our prayers seriously. Not only that, God is never mediocre when it comes to answering our prayers. No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can know what God has in store for you. When you start praying life-changing prayers, better be prepared for life-altering and faith-stretching answers.
PS: Dennis did a great job,too!!!! I attended the last service and I know it was quite a stretch for him to be preaching three times in a row, but he pulled it off! *clap!clap!*
Me: (Naglolokohan na rin tayo eh...) “Wow!!! Good job!!! But I think you read it in another version anak…but yes you’re right the English word for ‘cucina’ is kitchen! Yaay!!”
Mika “reads” a lot, you see.
