After the busiest days finally I'm back to write my blog about my happy experience during our Grace Women Warriors Fellowship last November 1.
Being a church worker is a blessing a responsibility that really need time to spend on it, you need to sacrifice your time, your money, sometimes your work for you to available on meetings, planning and in fellowship. Last month we're so blessed and thankful to God for our successful fellowship and of course to God be the Glory!

| CLAG Grace Women Warriors (GWW) Delegates |
We started with opening and welcome remarks, followed by acquaintance games, lecture-1, worship service and lecture 2.

| Acquaintance games & memory verse singing with action contest |
We have a total of 84 delegates and we're having fun during our fellowship activities. From the group activities and our lectures. Our fellowship held in Valenzuela covered court. Our theme was "Revive Your Heart and Your Ministry". Text: Psalms 51:10-13, and our speaker is no other one ma'am Vholet Nabus.
Because I'm busy that time preparing some stuff, and other activity I'm not able to listen fully to the lectures but I just want to share with you what I have learned from this fellowship.
We come up with this theme "Revive Your Heart and Your Ministry" because we want to encourage every women to revive their hearts specially in the ministry. Being a mom, a wife, a working mom, or stay at home mom it's very difficult specially when it comes raising our kids. Every women have different experience, struggles that sometimes became reasons to hinder our ministry. The bible say's that "family is our first ministry". I agree! but the question is what if your family is the reason why you are seldom in church ministry?
"REVIVE YOUR HEART"
In church ministry the most important that we should taking care off is our heart. If our heart is full of bitterness, envy, heartaches well, I'm sure we are not happy serving our Lord. Mrs. Nabus said that we should revive our heart first. The Bibles says that "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice". Ephesians 4:31. We should clean our hearts first let's forgive people or our church mate. If our heart is pure I'm sure we will experience the spiritual joy in doing ministry for the Lord.
"REVIVE YOUR MINISTRY"
If right now you don't have any involvement in the church ministry you should know your capability. Example if you are good in church decoration, in song leading, if you're good in musical instruments, or teaching kids in Sunday school or any activity that you think you are available and capable to do it then evaluate your self. Then, make your self available for the ministry that you committed, and for your family not to sacrifice with your schedule make your family as a partner on your ministry so you and your whole family doing the ministry to the Lord.
Ministry is intentional with a heart. In Colossians 3:23 "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men". Only God can see us and understand us. He sees what's in our hearts.
Indeed, I'm so blessed with this fellowship and I learned a lot of things. I hope that God will abundantly blessed this organization and hope that every women encourage by the Word of God and revive their hearts and ministry.

It is always a nice thought that you belong to certain group that shares the same beliefs and values. Nice of you to share this and I love the 'revive your heart' theme. God Bless. (macysantos)
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice way to share your blessings and time. To be of service to fellow moms and kabaros. I also lovd your ministry's theme :)
ReplyDeleteBusy season indeed. It is good to always to be reminded of the real reason for this revelries and celebration. God bless you and your community Sis! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI recently worked on a four-part series on why there is hope for drug pushers and users. It's entitled "A different kind of surrender" published in Cebu Daily News. I learned from the two weeks that I was on field interviewing former addicts, recovery coaches and initiators of the Surrender to GOD program that it really helps to have a ministry to be part of especially when one is fighting a disease as strong as drug addiction. Thanks for sharing this dear.
ReplyDeleteWow, that fellowship wss a good support group especially for moms. It's a reality check on staying focus with our emotional wellness and church responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a joy when women band together for a common cause. Kudos to you and your fellowship!
ReplyDelete"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice". Ephesians 4:31.Love this. I think I should make this my mantra for this year. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to join fellowships before. However, schedules and routines doesn't allow me to. I guess when my kids are a bit older I can join and have an amazing time too.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really nice to belong in a group that have same beliefs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this ��
I agree, we need to heal first, let go of our bitterness and forgive and seek forgiveness before we serve in the ministry, or it will be such a burden on our shoulders.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to find and share values with a group that can support your needs - like your faith. Glad you enjoyed your time with like-minded people. Healing is truly important. It's the only way we can reimagine ourselves into a better version everyday.
ReplyDeleteWow, imagine mo un, 1 months ago na pala ang event na 'to? And we already accomplished another fellowship - the kid's camp! May God bless CLAG women's! Which reminds me na di ko pa nagagawa ang treasurer's report ko! huhu haha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to be part of such a group! :) Plus, you also get to be a blessing to others by contributing your talents, time, and effort! :) Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that when we are at peace with ourselves, the better we will be with other people. Happy new Year momma! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to be a member of a small church group, and miss going out to activities like this one. It empowers members and brings camaraderie to everyone present.
ReplyDeleteI commend church volunteers, as in ang laki ng respeto ko sa inyo. :) Fishing men to fulfil the Great Commission. Praise the Lord for people like you!
ReplyDeleteAng saya talaga if you have groups who you can share your activities and have the same passion as you. Masaya ang mga church activities. Minsan sinasali ako ng friend ko na Christian to attend their events and its always informational and fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to become part of a group that works towards improving its members and empowering them to become more involved in their service to the Lord. You're lucky you belong to a supportive church.
ReplyDeleteI missed ministering! When I became a mom, it became hard to sustain my small groups. Now my ministry is my family and my goal for 2017 is to be back! Since we just moved in, I will start looking for church and new group. Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to be one active member of a spiritual community. I always believe that we all need a group which will nourish our faith.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing groups or ministries na nagkakaisa for the glory of God! Nakakatuwa naman sis nabibigyan mo ng time ang activities like these. This is my dream - to join and become an active member of God's ministry. I know it will happen someday. Siguro kapag nag-aaral na ang mga bagets ko. :) But I vow to make time for it, sooner than later. :D
ReplyDeleteI really admire you for being actively involved in a ministry. It's something I've always thought of doing but haven't really tried yet. Hopefully I can find a group I can join this year.
ReplyDeleteYour dedication in serving our Lord is very admirable. It's something I wish I can still do but my since I work, I cannot attend all the church activity anymore. Sunday Service na lang.
ReplyDeleteI love fellowships, aside from the camaraderie it strengthens our faith and makes us realize the most important things here on Earth...
ReplyDeleteI love fellowships and group meet ups with people who shares the same faith. It strengthens you more.. happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteI admire people who spend their time for a good cause. Saludo!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's really hard to manage our schedule but we should be able to do so to keep our spiritual and family life balanced.
