February 26, Dr. Mervin (or Merwin, I'm not sure) shared about the radical move God is doing in Pagadian City. I got really inspired with his testimonies. I could feel the power of God's presence which was upon us during that event. And if there is something that God taught me while I was there, it is to be determined. Sa tagalog ay paninindigan. Clearly he impressed in my heart this words, "Bakit hindi mo na lang panindigan na tinawag Kita."
See, when I accepted this offer from Pastor Vicky Sebastian, the senior pastor of J. C. S. G. O., to work as the high school chaplain of the school ministry of the church, I did not right away threw the idea that I am still a nurse by profession; that there will come a time I am gonna be working as a nurse and not as a church worker or anything related to it.
Whenever people would ask me what do I do, I'd always mention first that I work as a school nurse. I was really hesitant to admit before people where I am working and what do i do. I was not ready to see regret on their face. Or I guess, I was not sure either if I know what I am called to do. This scenario went on for so many months, over a year, and whenever someone would ask me, you don't have any idea how I wanted to refuse to answer his question that would reveal the truth - that I was on denial.
March 25, another pastor visited the church to preach. He's Pastor Carlo Panlilio and he preached something about discouragements. When he called the people to the altar, I was the first one who responded. There, God said this to me, very gently, "Ikaw ay pastor ng mga kabataan." He assured me that I was called and appointed not by anyone including myself. I was called by Him and this pastoring task is my fare share in the last days so that more will be saved. He even gave me a vision wherein I was signing up my name as a pastor.
I AM A PASTOR. In awe of my God, I will do it that more will be saved. Actually, even if I am going to give my life as an offering to Him, it will still be not enough compared to what Jesus has done for us.
