Sisters Household II

First of all, i wanna introduce myself. My name is Regina "maeiix" C. Guino and i am a CYA alumna.

Honestly, I never really intended to join the HH because I knew that it would be a 3-week long activity and I was already planning to join the MinCon. but yeah I still ended up joining. haha. Tbh, I wasn't really that excited because aside from being the only "dakilang CYA rep ng HH" (again) I was sure to myself that I would get socially exhausted and that I would need to get out of my comfort zone. But I was hoping that in the HH, something would improve/progress in me. I believe I learned many things in the HH, not to mention the make up sesh, calligraphy and getting LSS with the night prayers and tatlong bibe. haha. I was also able to give time to my PT everyday. The HH was also a good place for me to discern and an opportunity to know the people I will be serving and serving with. Especially that I was considering being a youth worker. I believe what the Lord taught me in my 3-week stay in the HH was love. To be able to know the people around me and also myself and not just see who they are and who I am and ultimately to love who they are and who I am. And the differences we have complement us as one community. Finally, I believe that the Lord is really preparing me for something greater, preparing me for my service and He is telling me that I needed to be stretched to know how limited I am and to totally depend on Him :)

Letter to my Family

Just when I thought I had less, I realized that I was given more than what I needed and what I deserved. I miss my family. It may be true that you won't miss someone until they're gone. Yeah. We are not broken. Nor incomplete. I just feel that we lost our sense of being a family. Being one. Loving one another. Showing it. Expressing it. Gone. I don't know how to mend it back. I just lose appetite when I'm with them. I know. It's wrong. But I really miss us. Badly. And I hope one day, we'll be one happy family again. I hope and pray. I am forever grateful for my parents. They are so generous and loving though they show it in subtle ways. I love them so much. They have really sacrificed for us for A LOT of times. They are true examples of humility, patience, perseverance, and unconditional love. I thank my bully yet caring siblings. Without them, my life would be super boring. Haaay. I wish we never had grown old. I love them so much yet I am holding back to expressing it to them. And I feel like I'm working on the greatest regret I will have in the future. I offer to God whatever we can't mend. I trust Him that everything will be better soon. That whatever we may face as one family, we can surpass. I trust in Him who is love. I trust in Him who provides. I trust in Him who gives hope. I trust you Lord and I entrust my family to you. May we be one again. United in love and hope. Amen.

Lost in time...

HE > i

Greater is the One living inside of me THAN he who is living in the world! 

There'll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn't matter

'Cos the cross already won the war!

Amen! Amen!

My God is greater!

Kairos Asia Day 5 (Journal)

May 31, 2015

Today is the day. The day which I think everyone of us never wanted to come. It’s the last day of Kairos. Tears always win (but not for me). Some Indian delegates needed to go early. We said our goodbyes. Before I went down for the mass, I arranged my things and prepared it for departure. The mass started and was presided by a former CYAer. Words that I can’t forget that time were: “do not be afraid, the Lord said: I will be with you ‘til the end of time”, “never give up”, “always get back to God”, “protect your mission from other priorities that compete”, and “keep wasting for the Lord”. These words served as reminders for me of how God is ever faithful to me despite my unfaithfulness, that He is always there ready to welcome me with open arms, that it’s okay to fail as long as I decide to return to Him and offer my brokenness. 

I wasn’t ready for departure yet. I wanted to stay longer but everything really ends. But this time it is not the end, it is only the beginning, the beginning of living the life God wanted us to live, of letting our lights shine to others who needs it. We said our super final goodbyes and we took pictures, exchanged numbers and fb username. We wanna make sure we’re still connected ;) 

*****Set a fire down to my soul that I can’t contain, that I can’t control because I want more of You, God! I want more of You, God!

Arise! Shine! For the glory of God has risen on you!
