And Life Goes on...

A few years back, I stood in front of the PBCF congregation to give my testimony, it was Young Adults' Sunday. All eyes were on me (well, I guess they are supposed to look at me) and I have never felt so calm in front of a big audience.

I started by saying I am sorry because I have a very very hoarse voice because I was sick at that very moment. I saw the amusement in Pastor Ogie's eyes but I just shrugged it off knowing he understood where I stood at that time - my family life was in turmoil.

I introduced myself with the following line...

"I am Yeng Tuico, 22 years old, a Young Adult..."

and what follows after is paraphrased in italics from here on...

"I am a Chemical Engineer, a graduate of UP Diliman. God first showed me His power and love when He caught up with me during my freshman year in college. That was when three Engineering students from Campus Crusade for Christ shared with me the Four Spiritual Laws and that is when I received Jesus as Saviour and Lord. As to how God turned my class schedule upside down just so I can be nurtured in the faith is just another story."

I paused for a while only to realize that my nervousness has left me...

"I thank God for by His grace I was able to survive UP and graduate, and by God's grace was able to pass the Licensure exams and still by God's grace that I was able to find a good job. In my life as a Christian, there is one thing that God has taught me.. That is... through all my triumphs, through all my disappointments, through all my joys, and through all my pains..."

At this point in time, I stopped to suppress the rising sorrow in my heart... I know I'm gonna cry... and then, I saw Tita Lizette dab her tears dry... a comforting sight for me... I'm not the only one who knows what I meant when I said PAINS...

"...God is always, always, in Control! And so I thank my God for letting me share in His ministry at the Sunday School... and I thank my God that even in sicknes, I can give Him back all the glory and Honor..."

This is the part where my mom and my brother enters the sanctuary sans my father...

"Thank You..."

My mother sat and clapped with the congregation, not really knowing what it is she's applauding...

That was how it was...

...and Life goes on for me...

... as God continues to teach me how it is to live in His love.
