I would like to describe to you a little bit of my life before I crash landing on Jesus.
Hi! My name is Adenelie or you can call me Adel. I am a product of a broken family. I grew up without a father. My mom is working overseas. All I have is my lola and ajusshi who have been at my side since I started schooling.
Junior high school days, at the age of 14, nagstart nakog inom, cutting classes, cursing foul words na nahimo na nakong expression og manikal (lying) sa akong family para lang mabuhat nako akong gusto. I have been doing it until grade 11.
Pagstart nakog Grade 12, here comes Joselle Bitgue, one of my friend. She invited me sa Life Group every once a week together sa akong mga classmates. Then, nagpadayon lang ko sa pag uban-uban sa iyaha hangtod sa na meet nako si nanay Jennelle Ibao from BCC Kidapawan and nakaapil ko sa Life Class.
After that, I was tempted. My mama asked me kung gusto nako mag vacation sa Manila. Tubag pud ko dayon og "OO" and naremember nako I have my leader already. I asked permission to my leader tapos gisugtan ko kay ana akong mama one week ra ko didto and makaya ra mag make up class. But the sad thing is naabot kog one month sa Manila. Wala nako naka join sa Encounter Batch 5. Still, ginacontact japon ko ni nanay (my leader) and tungod kay maulaw naman ko sa iyaha magpakita, wala nako nibalik sa BCC.
After those times, nibalik nasad ko sa akong karaang kinabuhi. Sigeg inom, sibat sa balay, nag uyab-uyab, manikal and all. Hangtod sa nagstart ko magskwela sa UM. Nagkaroon kog circle of friends which is kauban nako mag inom. I didn’t tell my mom about my academic scholarship para ma akoa na ang money and mao akong ginagasto sa inom. We, accounting students (Accountancy akong gitake na course) is Saturday nakaschedule ang major exam so kami na group naga inom every after exam. I was attracted to someone who I taught na mao akong makatuluyan. Kasabay always magkaon and maglaag, but ended up into something na opposite sa akong gina imagine;
"Minahal ko siya pero minahal niya iba."
Nasakitan ko. I also attempted committing suicide.
But by the grace of God here I am. I CRASHED LANDING ON JESUS. Through my brokenness I found God. He gave Chrizza Deocampo as an instrument for me to come back to God. First Youth Reload nako is hubog kaayo ko and after sa YR kay nahuwasan oy. Nagstart didtoa ang tanan hangtod sa nagpadayon nako dira kay Lord.
Nag attend kog YR Katorse, Sunday Service, Youth Reload, Life Group, Life Class and Encounter Batch 6. As I encountered God, dili jud impossible ang tanan. Happy ko nga na part ko sa Crowned Eagurlz, ila ate Karla, sa akong mga spiritual sisters, some of my friends and also sa Y2DN Family. I indulged myself to people who can help me grow in the Lord.
My new personal relationship with Jesus Christ (who lives in me) helped me to get rid of my self-righteous attitude. My life since then could be characterized as being in a life of peace . I have peace that could only come from Christ Jesus who dwells in me, and enables me to live my Christian life. Oh, I still have my share of daily struggles and needs. However, I now trust in the Lord in everything. The bible also tells us in Philippians 4:19. And today, ang dating “minahal ko siya pero minahal niya iba” turns to “Minahal ako nang buong-buo kahit sino man ako ni, Hesu Kristo”.
" And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus”.
