A letter from Jul 10, 2025

I'm writing this for you to remember how I've been through, during this season of my life. I never actually expected that half of my 2025 would turn out like this, and now that this is the last week of summer before I officially become a grade 8 student, I will write these things to remind you that I'm still believing and hoping that you'll pay the price and fight for God's promise. February 2025, God brought me in a community which really felt too surreal for me, and He introduced me to people who loves Him as much as I do. For 2 months, a lot of areas in my life have been healed in a way I never expected to be. I went there for only 3 Sundays, yet those were the best Sundays in my life, for God made me experience the fulfillment in that certain place, that I never felt on any other places. God introduced me to people who aren't familiar to me, but in spite of that, I have formed an intimate and spiritual relationship with them. Two months, three Sundays, unexplainable sentiment, numerous bonds have been developed, endless affection, countless prayers, all in one place - Crossroads Church. All of those things have such a big impact in my life, for it shaped me to become who I am right now. That was all part of God's plan, and so does this season where I'm in. This season of my walk with Him, I thought about all of the things I need to do and don't need to do. I fixed myself, my routine every single day, surrendered things that has nothing to do with my walk with God, disciplined myself to have authority over my flesh, and obeyed Him as best as I could. I'm really grateful to establish deeper and spiritual relationships with some of my close friend - Shane, Drew, and Drien and kuya Zeke. I didn't just got to know them, I didn't just spent more time with my family these times, but I got to be in God's presence even more. As I got to know Jesus, I realized that I also have known myself way more deeper. There are parts of me that slowly unwinds, that I solely have seen when I'm in His presence. It may sound cliche or whatever, but it's true that the more you dwell on God's existence, the more you'll know yourself. And the best part is that the greatest and prime version of yourself is only found within His companionship. Jeremiah 29;10-11 I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. "For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future". When God took me out of Crossroads Church, that's when I knew and said "this is where it'll start". That's when I knew that I was already walking with Him and He's testing me. It really hurt me a lot, especially when it was my own father who forbid me to go there. But I still obeyed and honored my parents, despite the fact that they persecuted me. I'm still glad it happened though, because it became a way for me to experience this kind of walk with God. And now, I still hold on to God's promise that He'll make my prayers happen and fulfill it, at the time when I'll become the person He called me to be. As for you, I believe that you will fight or have fought to see the promise fulfilled. How's life now? I'll send this at the same time God brought me to Crossroads this year. I know that a lot of things have changed when you read this, but I hope your faith and obedience still remains. You got this, bruh!
