Striving to Embody Simplicity and Grace

Christ alone is my Cornerstone.

Like this sea of clouds, my experience with the Jesus Strategy Conference last week was overwhelming. God met me through the solitary places, sunrise and sunsets, through nature, through the sessions, simple convo's, through shared meals, and prayers. God is purging my heart. And I am still processing and writing down my thoughts, reflections and take aways. I thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to join. I thank @updcbc family for supporting me in finances and prayers. I thank God for new friends. And I'm grateful for the tireless dedication of Wavemakers in organizing the conference. 💕 #jscbaguio2018 #makingwavesthejesusway 📷 grabbed from Joana Marie Domino (at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorBF-GDk4O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=efccbsqnvm6j

“This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?—” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:30-31‬ ‭ESV‬‬ https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUUVR7jf1p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kvaez3ya6avk

Deeply grateful for the life of Mommy Lyds. Indeed, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

We will miss you mommy Lyds! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoUKYhqjE8H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=40dxp1gi8a7

Sometimes, all you need is some quiet place under the tree, savoring nature at its best, facing your inner wandering self. (at University of the Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJBCLajA7b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a9usb1295hsd

Mommy Lydia, I am aware that no comforting words can ease your pain. The past days I keep praying to God to remove your pain. But in his mysterious sovereign ways, he allowed the pain to stay. My heart aches because I cannot imagine the pain you're going through. 😭 I can only pray for strength in your inner being to endure this season. In your painful episodes, may you find rest and comfort in the shadow of His wings (Psalm 91). I love you mommy Lyds. Praying for life giving moments for you in this time of adversity. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn3194fAkci/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=105618rnhc9v2
