Victory Weekend 2: The New Day
Again the next day, Dexter was so concerned about us being on time for the New Day, laughs! November 14 marked the birth of new Fernand Yim as I, along with other proud Christians, declared Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior publicly with Water Baptism. It was a great experience.
But before that, the day started with the Registration and Breakfast. Anyway we were all excited taking pictures as early as possible, laughs! It was so much fun. Meeting new people, not just ordinary people but Christians! Ramon and I had our Operation Picture with Pastor Janssen, laughs!
Here are the pictures:
Because it was an important event in my life, I wanted to keep as much memory as I could by taking pictures with everyone involved. I felt so proud that I want the whole world to know how wonderful it is to let Jesus drive the wheel of my life.
Many things happened. When I was asked how I could describe my experience in Victory Weekend, I usually give people a blank reply because I don’t know what to say. As a writer by passion, I was running out of words. What I tell people is that they need to experience it so that they will know the victorious experience of being with the LORD themselves.
Victory Weekend taught me many things about my faith. There were many things I thought were fine before but after Victory Weekend, I feel now more secured with my faith. I always remember that we are saved by the grace of the LORD when Jesus offered His life on the cross once and for all. It is a beautiful gift that we need to claim or else, it is your option to live a dying life. Good deeds wouldn’t save any person on earth. There is only one way, the life, and the truth and that is Jesus Christ. That is it.
We do good things not because we want to be saved but because the love we have for the LORD is overflowing that we want to share the goodness of the LORD to all the people around us. Also, the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we should live the life He wants us to live. From that moment on, we represent Jesus in everything we do. So it comes with responsibility.
I am not perfect. No one is perfect. And the LORD God understands that so much that we are given the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Devotion to prayers and reading the Word is powerful enough to keep us on the right track. Praise and Worship and spending more time with fellow Christians are much helpful as well.
My only prayer to the LORD is to make me desire Him more every moment of my life.
I just feel so blessed.
Thank You, Jesus.

Swarming with happiness, I went to meet Gracia in San Pablo City to celebrate the rest of the day with her. She was as happy as I was. We talked about many things. We talked about our children especially Graciella.
It was a long day that I wished it wouldn’t end, that it would stay like that forever. But I need to go on with life and grow up spiritually and do the fishing. But if I would be asked what I want to do, I want to be a worshipper of the LORD. That is what I want to do for the rest of my life along with my family with Gracia.
I am also praying that any of our Pastors would notice me that they would hire me in their business since I graduated with a degree in Entrepreneurial Management. I believe it is about time for me to apply what I learned in college to my new job. And the beautiful part of it is that I will be working with Christian bosses and hopefully a better schedule so that I could always attend every Sunday. How I would love that! And that is what I am praying for every prayer. Amen to that.
