Yesterday (Saturday), I left around 8:30AM from the Elim Global Headquarters and headed off to Famy, Quezon with some of my Elim friends. We headed there to do an ocular and at the same time shoot a testimonial by a couple who are regular Elim dwellers that live there.
The trip was fun… being that I enjoyed long trips, the travel to our destination was something I was eagerly looking forward to even the day before our departure. On our way there, it was just me, Jayp, Maricar and Sis. Lory Lina (wife of Joey Lina).
We took the Antipolo route… the roads were paved… the path was winding… and the view was just wonderful. Lots of green fields and open space… mountains and vast plains of grass and trees.
We finished the shoot, exchanged pleasantries with other Elimites and had some really tasting “ginataan” (I had 3 servings!) and chicharon before heading to Siniloan.
Lunch was spent eating at a Jollibee branch in the same province with Elim friends as well. We headed back at around 2PM and arrived in Manila at roughly 4:30PM.
It was a pretty long trip but spent fruitfully as everything we did was for the Lord and for His glory.
And though the travel back and forth was pretty tiring… I wouldn’t have traded it for any of my favorite pastimes.

Most people I get into conversations with normally say that the path towards righteousness is easy…
I say, “If the path of faith on which you are taking towards purity is considered ‘light’ and ‘easygoing’, then most likely the way that you have been traversing has been riddled with compromise.”
I am still at what I consider to be, the “infant stages” of my journey towards God’s finish line. I know very well what lies ahead… the struggles and challenges that must be overcome along the way… yet the rewards of obedience are far greater than anyone’s imagination could fathom.
I look forward to this journey… I am excited. I happily anticipate each obstacle… for these hurdles further prove my resolve and conviction to follow my Savior.
To walk forward with the Lord… no compromise.
