#idc2019

heart > notes

I suddenly stopped writing then I closed my eyes and listened.

It’s 2019 🙌 🙌

This is my first tumblr post for 2019 AND YES!! Late na naman ang year verse post ko just like last year because of my Korea trip (magsipag ka din Ken haha!) 2019 was super great so far. Ang tagal ng January - parang I woke up today and it’s still January hahaha!

I used to call my January as my “F5 aka refresh” month. This is where I get to set my goals for the year, plot my vacations, what will I invest in, what to buy, what to look forward to, etc. so parang i’m doing a rough draft of things and IDC is part of my “what to look forward to” list. IDC or the Intentional Discipleship Conference happens every January after our prayer and fasting week. I have been attending this conference since I don’t know when (tito hits 😴) but I have the yearly ID lace to support my claims haha!

Since i’m attending IDC regularly each year, I promised myself that I will do it differently this year. Every year kasi I always sit beside a friend or someone that i’m familiar with and sabi ko why not sit beside someone that I don’t know? And guess what? I did!! 💪 I think one of the reasons why IDC 2019 is special to me is because I get to talk to someone that I don’t know. It gave me an opportunity to reflect with someone that has fresher perspective (plus na yung getting to know someone new haha!) 

Also what’s interesting this year was my ability to stop taking down notes. Ako yung tipo ng tao na OC when it comes to taking down notes ✍️ (magnonotes ako kahit anong mangyari!) but for some strange reasons, I suddenly stopped writing then I closed my eyes and listened. There’s a lot to take and I allowed my heart to absorb everything that it needs.

If you will ask me, what’s my takeaway from the conference? 👇 A lot haha! But there’s a specific session where Francis Chan asked When was the last time you trembled at the Word of God? And honestly, it got me thinking - somewhere siguro in my walk with the Lord I stopped trembling at His Word (siguro 😔). 

It created a realization of how much I needed to listen and how much I needed to act. Everyday as I read God’s word, here’s my constant question and reminder in mind 👇 Do I match the description of the person to whom God is looking in Isaiah 66:2?
