Thank you lifeshapers for your intentionality in teaching the children to know more about Jesus! God bless your hearts of service.
Your family is your first ministry.
Yesterday we as a family discussed questions on the topic "Life Detox, Overcome Anxiety preaching by Pastor Peter". We had a very interesting, a bit shocking and emotional time.
During discussion Samuel broke down in tears and poured out his heart to us and shared what were the things that upset him and made him worried.
We right away humbly asked for forgiveness and assured him that we loved him no matter what. Then he teared again and this time as he felt he was surrounded by love.
The discussions is our tool for accountability (way to check what is happening on each other's life regardless of their age) Gal. 1:6
We exchanged our ratings for each other and the things we need to improve on.
Those are things I was requested to improve on: Marissa
-Be humble when corrected by Papa(Yuriy) (aray ko!).
- avoid shouting when we(kids) don't obey you immediately. (Gusto ko mag-reklamo pero tahimik lang ako. Pero kumukulo na loob ko) syempre humingi ako tawad. Philippians 2:3-8
For Yuriy:
- be not stressed out and worry about our future (work in particular). Samuel encouraged Yuriy by saying God is bigger than our problems.
-Stop being stubborn and prideful.( he he he wala sya kawala!)
We encourage you guys to try it out as time with family is a priority and such moments are precious. Have a good time hindi din tayo mag-assume na lahat ay ok sa mga anak natin or sa asawa natin. Kaya need talaga ng accountability time.
