Our new chapel. .

It was tuesday and my pastor cancelled all our bible studies for the moment because we were still busy preparing the things to transfer it into our new chapel. We were very happy that God provided the downpayment and the place we prayed for so much. In the afternoon we gathered to go there and clean the area generally. Our brother Roger and sister Elyn was just living at the other side of the mountain near a cemetery. The owner of the place we rented said that it was them they heared playing Christian music all the time. He was a born again Christian too but he belongs to other group not in Victory. He was also selling dish like me but it was already a big cafeteria. The area they had was great because it was near a bus stop and many drivers ate there. He leave his business for a little while just to lead us and it was a bit higher to climb up to the stairs for 45 steps. What i worried about is our older brothers and sisters who can't walk well to our new chapel especially the seniors. They were planning to build a handle at the stairway for them to climb it easily and safely. It was a bit damaged too because of the typhoon odette that hit last December 2021 but still it was an overlooking view. It's so peaceful and has a very fresh air to breathe. The only problem is the water supply because it can't carry up in the morning but only in the evening. Still it was fine because they made a big tank to fill it in the night to use in the day. It's also a problem too when it rains so much because it floods and so muddy before going up there. There were many noisy frogs too and i am so afraid of it. When it rains the frogs might scatter or jumps everywhere and i can't take it when it jumps over me. I pray that it would only be cloudy or sunny day always. Their place also looks like our old house before and even the colors of the paint around it. I was really amazed for what i had seen because it looks like i was in the past. There was also a coconut tree near it and we drank and ate the coconut fruits. It could easily be climbed too because it was bending straight that what you need to do is to balance yourself. There were also sweet potatoes with a very huge sizes like our heads. 😁😅 We boiled it there and we were so full and happy. God really blessed us so much eventhough we didn't asked for a food. We did pair it with a very cold water and an orange juice to quench our thirst. 😋 We met new people living there and had a lot of conversations. They were very happy to be our neighbors because they said that their place is too silent and we'll be the one to make the noise. 😁😅 Some were not happy though because they also wanted peace and silence only but we're only doing the noise when we have a practice and having our church services. Our pastor in our baby church in balirong and his family also went there. Their kids was very happy to play with many kids living there and they were so glad to meet new friends. We also invited other churches and many came to help us. We cooked food for our lunch and we were all so full and happy. ❤️➕️❤️

I had known that my sister Elyn started her work already for just two days. They were in difficulty now and they needed extra income for their needs and in supporting the church. Our church really needs us more than ever because the rental was more increasing than the last. That's why they decided to seek for a job. She was on duty that time and i was thinking only about her. I had known that she would really came then her thoughts could only be with us and she really did! She made an undertime for her family in church. I know her so well that she loves the church so much! I really like sister Elyn because she is my true sister in Christ. I also open up to her and share everything about me and my problems. Eventhough she looks so thin it doesn't matter for me. I can see her heart inside and out for who she truly is. Actually she borrowed money from me to go for a doctor because she had an amoeba before. It was also the money i kept for my wedding but still i sacrificed it. I was so pity when i visited her because she got more and more thinner that moment. She can't even ate well and always vomiting too. Even from everything they had encounter from a lot of small or bigger problems with brother Roger and their family i could see that they're still hardly pursuing and happily serving God. I am amazed by what she did that afternoon just to be with us. When we finished cleaning the area the house was really great! Our new neighbor gave us a sack of sweet potatoes too. They were very happy having it all to bring it home. We were all very tired but what matters most is that it is for the house of the Lord and we are happy to serve Him. That our time, effort, energy and support that we have done will never be wasted. I know in the right time that we will reap what we sow on this earth and more over to His Kingdom coming that He prepared. We were so excited to have our new church and our journey ahead. There will be new experiences again where God placed us. Specially that my coming wedding is yet to come in God's willing grace, love and mercy. ❤️➕️❤️
