Praise Report : Women Signify their Interest to be Part of GLOW!

I have a notebook specially for GLOW and as I look at its content today, I see scribbles of all sorts...powerful quotes from several authors regarding prayer, Bible verses that point to the importance of prayer, etc...but what makes me smile the most is when I see this little corner of my notebook that lists down the beautiful names of women who have shown interest or have committed to be part of GLOW --- 10 beautiful names, 10 beautiful souls!


Praise God for this! :)

Women, We Can Glow for God!

Dear Friends,

I have been a renewed Christian for some time now --- thanks to my husband Saul and our good family friends Marissa and James Yap for being the sowers of the seed of faith I so firmly and passionately believe in and my heartfelt gratitude to my Globe 4 Jesus (G4J) family under the leadership of Mike Wage and Sarah Roxas and the Thursday evening Bible Study group with Blue Avelino at the helm in making me appreciate my God so much more than I can fathom. In my walk all these years, it was only 2 years ago that I so passionately confronted God with tear-filled eyes with an intense desire in my heart. The lyrics of a song by one of my favorite Christian groups (Point of Grace) encapsulates what I pleaded God to grant me ---

Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory

Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story

In the low or lofty places, strangers faces

Anywhere, Any way

In the alley, on the rooftop, at the end of a rocky road, You don't stop

On a mountain, in a rainstorm, in the eyes of a mother with her newborn

In the back pew, at the altar, at the well where You gave the woman water

In the choas, in the holy, in the darkness,

Anywhere a heart beats, Anywhere a heart beats

Yes, I wanted to establish a very close and intimate relationship with God…a relationship that had no boundaries. Then I came upon a very beautiful 3-in-1 book collection written by Stormie Omartian entitled the Power of Praying. The collection contains 3 of her fantastic books – The Power of a Praying Wife, The Power of a Praying Parent and the Power of a Praying Woman. And I sincerely somehow knew that this was God’s answer to my plea --- PRAYER. If I wanted God’s presence to fill me moment by moment, I must choose to also make God an active part of my life thru the different roles I played --- WOMAN, WIFE, PARENT andDAUGHTER.

And come to think of it now, as in this very moment, it was when I was down on my knees in prayer as a mother, as a wife, as a parent and as a daughter that God worked in inexplicable yet amazing ways in my life…He heard my cries and rescued me from the ill effects of my stubbornness as a woman when I engaged myself in the wickedness of New Age practices and the evilness of real fortune-telling, He revealed His love for a persistent prayerful wife thru the incomprehensible and baffling yet noteworthy and remarkable changes in my husband and in my marriage, He heard the silent murmurs of my soul when I prayed as a daughterfor my parents’ full acceptance of Christ in their lives, He made me victorious as amother when I, along with other prayer warriors, prayed for the life of my child when he heard my pleas to cover my family, with special and precise focus on my daughter during a real battle for the mind of my child by an evil spiritual being who was enticing my little girl in her very own room (this was an eye opener for me as a parent).

PRAYERS AVAIL MUCH…and it is with this deep and personal conviction that I am forming a bi-monthly prayer group made up of WOMEN which I am prodded to call “GLOW” or God’s Ladies of Worship…women who desire to bring their “Faith Walk” with a very powerful and compassionate God a significant step further…praying to God in the Spirit and reading the Word together, singing our hearts out in praise and worship, sharing experiences and just resting in the mighty presence of an indescribable and amazing God…

If you wish to be a pioneering member of this grand plan or you know someone who may find solace or inspiration by being part of a praying community, do forward this email to her…I would be glad to talk with her and personally invite her.

I am excitedly looking at having the first ever prayer fellowship by the midSeptember… I will have to arrange the venue and time and the date but other than that, my mind, my heart and my soul are set to get this started. J

I do hope to hear from you. J

May God bless you!
