Johan's Storyline

THE LAST QUARTER IN THE BALL GAME OF LIFE
By
Ptr Johan Cabal

I was happily married for 33 years to a wonderful woman. I would call her a woman of faith. I thought that I would spend all my life with her. However, God had other plans for me as my wife went home to her creator three years ago.

I had so many questions for God at that time. I felt like He had forsaken me and forgotten all about me. In my intimate moments with God I poured out all that I felt for Him at that time. Was I complaining? Probably yes, but one thing I learned about our God, that is, I could always come to Him and pour out whatever I felt and whatever my thoughts were unto Him.

Would you believe, He was silent, except for the fact that He directed my attention to a verse in the bible, Romans 8:28. He said that all things, including all my heartaches and loneliness, would work together for good to me. This gave me a strong platform to work on. I just focused myself to having faith in Him as this was what my previous partner shared with me.

Slowly God unraveled His plans for me. He told me that I would need a partner not only for life but also for the ministry that He has entrusted to me. Initially, I resisted because truth of the matter, I was just beginning to appreciate my new found freedom. Plus the fact that I had to consider my children and my family, especially my dad. Then came the coup de grace... 


God definitely told me that my supposed new partner in life would be a lady pastor from the same church where I minister. God you must be joking! So all the more would I resist because she was the antithesis of my previous partner. This lady pastor and I were frequently at odds in church especially with matters related to ministry work.

However, I learned a neat lesson on how it was useless kicking against the goads. The more I resisted, the stronger the voice of God was in speaking to me. At this point in my Christian life, I also learned to recognize the point when it was useless resisting His will. I just had to yield and believe that I can love anybody, even the unlovable, because the love of God has been shed abroad in my heart.

After run about two years of getting to know each other, we agreed to let God’s will rule our life and ministry. 




So this coming November 28, 2014, I am tying the knot with the new God-given love of my life, Ptra. Precy Adriatico.  I am so thankful to God for giving me this time, a woman of prayer.

Do we know EXACTLY where the Lord is going to lead us? No, but we just hold on to His promise that His plans for us are to prosper us and not to harm us, His plans will be our source of hope and this will ensure us a bright future.

Join us this coming November 28, 2014 to celebrate this momentous occasion.

                           To God be the glory!

Precy's Storyline

I JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

By

Ptra Precy Adriatico

“For I know what I have planned for you”, says the Lord, “I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you …. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope …”

The last verse of this passage was what served as a challenge to me before I finally decided to agree and say “YES” to this upcoming event of my life. This event will happen this coming November 28, 2014.

Dreamin ….. I must be dreamin …. (From the song I Just Fall in Love Again)

I could not imagine myself that at the age of 53 may pasabog pa pala si Lord sa akin, na ako mismo ay di makapaniwala sa revelation Niya. “Mag-aasawa ka  ....... si __________ ang magiging asawa mo! Yun lang, wala na.”

I replied, “No!” “Ayoko!” “Magka-away kami ‘nun, very complicated”

Totoo ba kaya ang narinig ko? Sinarili ko ‘yun and months passed ....... but patindi ng patindi sa puso ko ang “obedience is better than sacrifice. “ Walang PEACE sa puso ko and I began to struggle every day I cried at ayaw kong tanggapin ...... I said Ok na ang buhay ko ..... settled na ako ...... me and my children have plans. 

But then the will of God prevailed...

To cut the story short, nagkausap kami. Antipolo was the first place where we had a talk about this matter. Pinagusapan naming kasi as I found out later may revelation din pala si Lord sa kanya.

We decided to give a try and obey God, even if we knew that hindi ‘yun magiging madali ...... and truth of the matter is dumaan kami sa matinik na daan dahil maraming nagtaka, nagtanong at tumutol ...... Bakit?.... Bakit?..... AT WALANG KATAPUSANG BAKIT????



God is all-knowing ....... alam Niya kung ano ang makabubuti sa akin. In my 28 years of being a Christian, isa sa mga natutunan ko is to obey Him and trust Him, because He has plans that will give me a future filled with hope. At pinanghawakan ko‘yun. Maybe for me, it was not the perfect time. I would have preferred it sometime earlier. Sana noon pa ..... but who am I to question the wisdom of God? Kung ilang taon pa ang ilalagi ko dito sa mundo, alam ko, magiging masaya ako at ang buhay ko ay magiging punong-puno ng pag-asa.

Kaya sa mga ladies na naghihintay ng kanilang “Prince Charming”, huwag ninyong unahan si Lord, at sa mga ladies naman na “lampas na sa kalendaryo”, do not give up, patuloy parin kayong  umasa that someday may revelation din darating si God para sa inyo.

MY HEART BEATS FAST ...... MY EYES BEGIN TO SMILE ...... THOSE WERE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS THINKING ABOUT YOU ....... AND NOTHING REALLY MATTERS ........ THE REASON ........ I JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN.

By the way ....... the lucky guy  ........ THE DASHING, DEBONNAIRE (sabi niya) ha!ha!ha! (at walang kokontra) is none other than PASTOR JOHANNES V. CABAL ......my sweetheart!

So, we are inviting you to grace this memorable occasion and be part of this important event in our lives. We expect to see you on November 28, 2014, 3:30PM, at the Hube Hall of the Y.W.C.A. Building, Manila.
