Things I learned sa Buhay YFC

1.) You honor a person more by listening to him/her rather than speaking.

2.) You let go of prayer time, you let go of everything.

3.) When you do let go, it shows.

4.) It’s not really what you say, but how you say it.

5.) Coordinators are a lot like members, love them and you’ve won them for life.

6.) Coordinators are really like members, they need prayers too. When you don’t pray for them, nagiging pasaway din.

7.) It’s better to be loving than to be right.

8.) Mas effective mangulit sa dasal kesa mangulit sa salita. (Usually, they stop listening to you altogether if you nag. You’re lucky if they don’t resent you.)

9.) Uwian after household has several stations (of the cross): FOR SISTERS - unang kiss station – the sisters kiss each other but end up talking about something ssooo important that they end up staying for another 15 minutes; the hintayan stage – several sisters are left having an intense instant 1 to 1s while the others linger a few meters away, waiting; the wait lang stage – several sisters realize they forgot their fon/bag/In His Steps/wallet kaya binalikan sa bahay kung saan naghousehold; the eternal problem of transpo stage – the final stage consists of waiting along a highway or street for that taxi/jeep/tricycle that will take them home OR the entire household figures out how to pack in 10 people in a Honda Civic OR paghintay sa isang kawawang tatay who was texted to fetch one of the YFCs (usually this hapless tito will bring home the rest of the household. Never mind if he was roused from sleep at 2am.)

10.) A household set at 7pm will start no earlier than 9pm.

11.) You aren’t YFC if you have never texted anyone, “pagpray mo nmn ako…”

12.) You will always be the happiest when you are thinking about how to love someone more.

13.) It is inevitable that you will get depressed when you take yourself too seriously.

14.) When you worry too much, you’re putting limits on God’s generosity.

15.) Nothing beats hearing your coordinator defend you against people who say “Yang YFC na ‘yan, pera lang ang habol…Wala namang ginagawa ‘yan…”

16.) Poor and rich people are the people in need of the most love. They are also the easiest to fall into grave sins like drug addiction and pre-marital sex. But it is lukewarmness that afflicts the average YFC.

17.) YFCs look forward to households because they are nourished. It is empowering to be with other inspiring people. YFCs look forward to worship and sharing and hearing about God working in other people’s lives. At shempre, may chibog.

18.) You realize of the 4 spokes – fellowship, prayer, service and sacraments – you receive the sacraments at the minimum level.

20.) Ang YFC iba yan pag in luv…Anjan ang mga tanong na sobrang kulet..”Lord, siya na ba?”

21.) Of the 4 spokes, ang pinakamatindi at walang kamatayan – fellowship.

22.) Pag nagmission ka, it doesn’t matter kung two years na kau di nagkta ng mga naghost seño…pag nagkita kau, parang kahapon lang.

23.) Di maiiwasang, manood ng sine kasama ang mga ka-YFC…Di pa nakuntento, icconnect pa yung movie (kahit X-Men pa yan o Johnny English) sa YFC life and shempre, kay God. At shempre, kahit dedma ang buong audience, masspot mo ang isang YFC crowd sa sobrang ingay, side comment at pasahan ng chibog.

24.) Minsan masakit sa lider na hindi siya kilala ng member niya.

25.) Shempre, bigay todo pag worship. Kahit di alam ang lyrics…Pag nagkamali, sobrang obyus kc anlakas ng boses. Hihina ng konti yung boses pero pag alam na yung lyrics, sige, banat pa! (Hmm…marami akong kilalang ganito…)

26.) Pag YFC talaga, iba maglambing.. .”i mis u, luv u, bn prayng 4u…”

27.) Pag pagkain mo, pagkain na rin ng lahat…(kahit baso, kutsara, straw…)
