When I was elected as a member of the Board of Trustees of LAIKO, I sent text messages to friends to inform them of my new task, and I asked them to offer a prayer for me because of the great responsibilities and tasks related to the position. I need their prayers and asked for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Most of my friends congratulated me. Here are some of the messages sent to me:
"Congratulations and more power. Yes we are rejoicing and praying for you. May God bless you more abundantly." - Fr. Biong Espenilla, Family Life Director of the Diocese of Masbate
"Pagsibol is proud of you. I will continue to include you in my prayers." - Jun Virtudazo, President of Pagsibol ME Foundation, Inc.
"It would be my joy to pray for you." - Fr. Joey Bautista, Spiritual Director of the Pope John Paul II Minor Seminary in Antipolo
"We will be on the same team because I am the Asst. Secretary of ECFL." - Fr. Dave Clay of the Retrouvaille
"Congrats for the new responsibility in the service of the Lord." - Terry & Marnie Malicse, former National Coordinating Couple of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Philippines
But I cried when I received another message. Reflecting on it, God is telling that I should move out of my comfort zone, and it seems that I am resisting. Anyway, here is the message:
"God breaks the soil to make plants grow. He breaks the clouds to pour down rain. He breaks bread to nourish our souls. We must then be thankful when He breaks things in our lives - our rhythm, our securities, our hearts. He must be on to something great." - Bishop Joel Baylon of the Diocese of Masbate
