Sim & Shem @ 18

 18 is a monumental number. Our marriage is currently in a maturing season. Maturing in the sense that we still discover so many things about each other and the discoveries are coupled with challenges. And yet, we chose to stay strong in this marriage that was authored by God. 

At this point, our marriage is like a vinegar - it gets better though time; it is pure and organic.

Glory to God for His amazing love and grace!

Family Outing at Grey Sands Beach Resort (San Fabian, Pangasinan)

 The Langbayans celebrated Mothers' Day at the beach. In spite of the abrupt planning, we are more than grateful to the Lord for this trip that was sponsored by our sisters who are working overseas. Praise God for trips such as this that paved the way for a smooth-sailing fellowship within the family.

We also had a side trip to one of my favorite places on earth - S&R Membership Shopping!  We capped off the night with a dinner at Jollibee Pozorrubio.

Doulos Hope

 Doulos Hope is a floating book fair that promotes literacy and education and brings hope to people around the world.

My penchant for reading started when I was eight (8). I love to read books from different genres. As expected, my heart leapt the moment I boarded the ship.

I am thankful and grateful to the Lord for allowing me to tick off another item on my bucket list.

FBCPI Church Workers' Retreat at Sun-West Palazzo Resort

 As an advocate of total wellness, we set off to a retreat in an exclusive resort in Agoo, La Union. It was definitely fun! Praise God for the encouraging and inspiring life of our church workers as we took turns in sharing our testimonies. To God be the glory!

The Birth of Family of Believers in Christ Philippines Inc. (Calunetan, Sison, Pangasinan)

The church has reached a milestone this 2024. We are off to a fresh start as we registered the church to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The road to new beginnings is quite challenging for the church but we will not be afraid because the God who started the church ministry in Calunetan will be faithful to sustain and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

KKEI, our Registered Nurse!

We praise and thank the Lord for answering our prayer! Our bhebhe and my dearest niece, Neilkkeia Sheryce is now a Registered Nurse! To God be all glory and honor!




Sim and Shem's Birthdays and Holidays 2023

 Our birthdays mark another year-end and a precious reminder that we are a step closer to eternity. It is always our prayer that the Lord will bless us with long, healthy, and prosperous life so that it will be a lasting testimony of faith to the future generations.

The Lord had spoken and made wonderful promises for His people - the fulfilment of every promise will unfold one step at a time - in His time.

To God be the glory for a great 2023!
