Praise GOD for the Gift of you Maria Regina Luy!

Searching...

When I was at my 2nd year in my Lay Missionary work, I spend a lot of time searching for priesthood as a vocation of the Lord's plan in my life. Among all who entered the retreat house that day,I was the youngest in the group. The rest of the brothers came from the seminary while I am the only one coming from a Lay community(Couple's For Christ).
All of them were about to go through  a "30 days Silent retreat" while I will spend a 3 days retreat.
My prayers that time was about on a posture of surrendering the rest of my life and soul to the Lord.
Everytime I see a brother on his prayertime, I'd say to GOD "Ok Lord,Let it be done if you want me to be a priest. pari kung pari,ikaw bahala".
 After the first day, the Lord is just so silent to me. Not until the second day, GOD speak and entered in to my vision. There he affirms me of the blessings of a family. A family that serve and love the Lord. By that time my heart just wont stop beating for the joy of the Lord. And I said, Yes My Lord.

Waiting...

Years pass I started praying and courting for someone. I ask the Lord to guide me in choosing and loving a woman.So I waited and waited and I just patiently wait on the one that the Lord will give me. Every time my impatient scratches my posture, the Lord is there to say to me " it will come on my time". And so I wait on the Lord.

Praying...

I had a crush on her way back when we have events and activities. She had a boyfriend that time and we are abit in acquaintance especially when we join each area for an activity. A year pass by, I knew that they had broke up. I notice that she is sad of what happen to their relationship. Most of our bisaya friends spend time with her in fellowship . Well I can say we grew to a friendship that is happy and joyful everytime we have the time.

Courtship...

"It never crossed my mind to be in Love, all along it crossed my heart".
Time pass as we journey our friendship together, I just smiled to the Lord and said "she is the one Lord".
After then, I ask the blessing to court her trough her mentors,leaders,coordinators, and family especially to her Dad and Mom. For me, its the first time to ask a blessing to a family and  that was not an easy thing to do.
Getting to know her family is also a way of loving her.
 And so, it was my first time to court a woman by GOD's grace and love.

Loving.....

days pass....months pass.... and a year pass by.....

I know by that time that she will tell me her decision. I can sense it by that day. Im abit nervous and uneasy that day.
Im with her that day when she was on a dental check up. After then she said, we will talk after my dent.
We went to a  Pink Sister convent. By the time we where inside the church, I directly knelt down and pray.
I just said to God "I Love her Lord and i offer her to you".
After Ive prayed, she talked to me and share to me her journey years before we had met.
That it was been the hardiest time in her life when she was broken and still continue to journey with the Lord. And most of the time she was praying in the Pink Sister Convent.
She continued on how I came in to her Life.....While I was in silence listening to her..
And then she said "Yes! gesugot na taka"
after she said that, I was so speechless and overwhelm.... I smiled and was so happy..
Since I cant shout and loudly exclaimed that moment because we where inside the convent,When we were already outside the convent, I then shouted  " PraiseGOD!, I love you Reg!"

Prayer of St.Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith.Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;to be understood, as to understand;to be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen.
