I Don't Want to Die for Nothing, I Want to Die for Him
by Jhoanna "the Princess" Co
I thought I found that someone and that I had fun when I'm with him but deep inside of me, I felt alone. I do feel I have loved the man so much but still, I don't understand this feeling that confuses me and made me feel guilty. I attended our AG again in search for answers. I don't know it it's just coincidence or if God really answered me because the topic of the AG led to stories about early relationships and priorities. I analyzed those things as soon as I got home. I decided to stick with him because I wasn't totally affected but then I felt God wanted to tell me it isn't my time yet. When I got my class cards, I just can't believe what I saw. My grades are super low and I can't accept it. Because of this, I decided to end my relationship with him.
I don't know how to exactly describe my experiences as a SECO member. Some excerpts in my diary, I think, maybe of best help though. Here goes:
March 17, 2000
"I committed myself to CYA. I told God that I do not only commit myself to live the CYA culture but I also recommit myself to loving and serving Him more. To be honest, at first I really was afraid especially with thought of bigger responsibilities that lies ahead of me. But there was joy in my heart when I finally committed myself to CYA especially to God."
It was my commitment day as well as a memorable day when Pinky told me that (at last!) I may join the SECO. You see, in that day also we had our meeting! We planned for the next semester and how to delegate our service. We are held responsible for the whole CYA family and oftentimes, we are asked to sacrifice our time and energy just to get things done for God's glory. Well, of course, because we are called to be servants of God!

"You see, I don't want to die for nothing. I want to die for Him."
There are times that I personally would want to give up. In this day I began to realize all the things that I do, being a SECO member, is the same as dying for the Lord. It is an honor for me. If God has chosen me, I believe that He will enable me.

Lately, I've been realizing of so many things. I always find myself smiling. I am happy with what I am doing in CYA. I believe God has planned that I may become one of the family and be part of SECO. I am happy doing my service. God is giving me the strength and determination to do these things. I thank Him for I had found real joy in giving part of myself that I may share whatever I have, and yet grow more in the love of Christ.
One of the most significant things I've learned as a SECO member is giving up of myself while having that faith in God. He is the only one who completes my whole being. Though I lose part of me through my service in CYA, God always fills up the spaces and he leaves nothing empty in me. "Mas masarap pa rin ang pakiramdam na napapapagod ka para kay God than feeling bored, monotonous & tired doing nothing."
