this is what I am...

Nothing is constant in this world. Circumstances & situations change as people do.I am Brian May A. Mehoy, I was born on July 7, 1989. Like many of us, I grew up in a religious home. If spending time in church could make a person holy, I should have been one of the best little boy in our town. Why? Because our family was always attending church & church activities, which for me also meant children’s retreats, choirs & special classes.

Religion for my parents was something that affected their lives-everyday-both inside & outside of the church. I saw them reading their Bibles, talking to God naturally as a trusted friend, & applying what they read to how they treated other people-even those who were unkind or took advantage of them. As for me, it became routinely. In church, I never felt joy in hearing God’s Word. In other words, I lived a life that is not worth-living. But when I was 14 yrs old, I can still remember last May 2004, during a summer youth camp, the day that I will never forget. I was initially scared upon the realization I had on one of the speaker’s exhortations. He was talking about the rapture, about life after death. He was challenging us that one day the Lord will come and caught up the body of the believers. All those who have not received the Lord Jesus Christ will be left behind. That was indeed terrifying! From that moment on I’ve been different a fire inside me was ignited to serve God. But that fire, as time goes by, is slowly burning out.. ’til it’s gone..As I entered college though, I began to sense emptiness in my life. I tried to fill this by becoming active with my academics, extracurricular activities and many-social activities. But the satisfaction I received from these things was so temporary.

It was then a friend of mine, knowing that I was a Christian invited me to get involved with the PSALM ministry. Through this involvement I began to feel for something more in my life. I saw something in them that I wanted too. To cut the story short, I joined their leadership training and my life after that was never been the same again..just like the soft drink ad, I knew I had to obey my thirst.Jesus said in John 7,”If anyone is thirsty, let Him come to me & drink. Come to me…that your soul may live.” So I came to Him as the Living Water & ask Him to wash me from all my sins & make me pure and clean. It was then I realized my sin against God in trying to control my life on my own. I realized that he had created me for Himself and I was accountable to Him.From then on, I found the real joy & contentment of serving the Lord. I experienced a whole new revival of myself & my perspective in life. I have been a useful Christian and I will always be.

Now I lived in the verse,”Delight yourself in the Lord & he will grant all the desires of your heart.” My Life has been decided. I will live the rest of my life serving God’s purposes with God’s people, on God’s planet, for God’s Glory!..=)
