BAYANIHAN

A Filipino custom when moving a house is called Bayanihan. In the olden days, it is literally carrying the whole nipa hut on the shoulders of a group of men to move to another lot or location.

Last November 30, the Laos (Gin, June,Jade and Jon) move to their new temporary apartment. The Castillos, Cristy, Myrna and some other guys from the neighborhood helped in moving the remainder of their belongings, some are packed in Balikbayan boxes.

Abraham's journey was mentioned in the Bible as living in tents, like foreigners...always in a "MOVING" stance. Because he was looking for a lasting city which he can call his home.

In this life, we should live like we are moving the next day. Lesser baggage, lesser cares.

Friend, thank you so much for all your thoughts and perspectives. During a time like this, it is so refreshing to see how the Lord continues to build deeply in your lives. These are such encouraging life lessons...

I am challenged and encouraged to continue to look to Him, Nina. :)

Thanks so much!
