2014 March 7:  Today's Lent reading covers Mark 1:29-45.  As I finished the reading, I was drawn to the church program I placed in my bible from J.L. Valencia Chapel in Taytay dated June 2, 2013. Following is the short prayer from that program:
"Imno Ng Pagtatalaa at Pasasalamat"  "Where He leads me I will follow"

"Si Jesus ay tumatawag, Ito ang isinasaad; Krus mo'y pasani't lumakad, sa aki'y sumunod ka agad. Kung saan ako akayin, Ay duon ako lalakad, Hanggang sa aking sapitin, Ang hangganan ng Kanyang landas. Amen"

Informal translation, "Jesus is calling, it is stated: Thy Cross walking the path.  May the path I follow, have similarities as I walk, until I reach, the boundaries of His path.  Amen."

2014 February 13:   After weeks of prayer for God's direction, I am planning a mission trip to Upper Javier this spring. 

I kicked off my fundraising today to sponsor children's Vacation Bible school activities at Upper Javier.  I am also hopeful to lead another Sewing class and will purchase material locally for 8-10 women sewers, approx 4 yards per sewer.  Of course, feeding the children is always a priority too.  Upper Javier's Missions Pastor will lead the activities with assistance of Deaconess students from Harris Memorial College.  Included below is one of my favorite pictures from the 2013 trip!

I ask you to consider contributing to this worthy cause.  Reading stories and singing with the  children is such a humbling experience.  Contributing to the work livelihood sewing program is changing lives and families one at a time.  Please direct your contribution to the 501c charity organization, Together in Hope, Houston, TX.  The link to their website is shown on the blog homepage (on the right margin).   Note, include the notation:  2014 Upper Javier - Elizabeth Jackson.

Your generous support is appreciated.   God bless     Elizabeth
