Surprise But Not Surprised

Yesterday, some of our youth has prepared a surprise farewell for me at the youth hub.  Well, I have known the plan from the day they started planning it.  It was one Sunday, they gathered at the Youth Hub to talk about this.  Every time I am in UECP on Sundays, my usual routine was to go through every room where the Children Ministries hold classes.  One is to visit them and make myself visible and another is to really visit my godchildren.  So, there it was, when I passed by Youth Hub and they were gathered in a circle, seeing different representative from my groups.  So, sensing their scheme, I intentionally joined them and everybody was stunned and don't know how to go about the discussion.  So, I finally left but knew something was cooking up.

It was yesterday when I receive an SMS from Michaelson that was not intended for me, asking how to bring me in on Sunday since I was so convinced that we meet at MOA instead.   hehehehe

I praise God for the generosity of such wonderful friends.  The whole program went well and saw youth from different generations or batch came to bless me as I journey to a new ministry at Makati Hope Christian School.  Though not all was present but the big majority was there.  I was blessed and satisfied for seeing every single person in that room.  Indeed, they were a blessing to me, not only me a blessing to them.

The consistent message given by each individual was that I was able to bring out the best in them.  It just goes to say my consistency as an individual fulfilling my God given direction of "Equipping God's People for Every Good Work."  Again, I was satisfied and full of contentment.

My personal insight was that the best legacy I can really leave behind is that these people whom I was able to help and bring out their best are also able to bring out the best in each person they were able to ministered with.  In return, God continues to use YWC in bringing out the best in every youth entrusted to our care.

To God be all the glory
