Steadfast Mercy
Hello! My name is Trisha Reyes , i'm seventeen and i live in the beautiful Asian country,the Philippines.
I've been blogging since i was 13 and discovered that blogging would be one of the things i'll keep on doing as long as there is internet and as long as i can type and read.

Stuff you'll see here in this page would likely revolve around the random things i do with my life. But beyond all that this blog is very personal to me as i post so many things about my relationship with my Saviour Jesus Christ. Aside from the typical posts about art & music which i truly am passionate about, you'd see post after post about my everyday battle and everyday victory with Christ.

I hope that as you follow this blog you'd be blessed by whatever you see, and learn from whatever mistakes i have done.

I am a life in progress and i am in flesh, and i'm imperfect as everyone is. So pray for me, as i pray for you.

About me

Hello , my name is Trisha Reyes and I’d like to share with you a little bit about me and about JESUS. Here it goes!

I was born on October 18, 1994 to amazingly wonderful set of parents, in Olongapo City Philippines. My dad is a pastor while my mom used to be a DJ back in the 80’s, well now she’s a full time mom to her three kids.  My parents raised me well, and I lived surrounded by wonderful people and of course happy siblings.

Almost half of all my experiences in the past seventeen years I lived were in Church services, camps, Sunday school, and all other Church activities. I grew up in a very good environment, almost every family friend is a lover of Christ. But then that didn’t make me any perfect. I was still a sinner and needs the forgiveness of my Heavenly father. But back in those days I didn’t grasp that, as I was thinking “what big sin could I possibly do?”cause I thought whatever I did wrong wasn’t that big of a sin but what I didn’t know big or small all of them was equal to God’s sight.

But back in 2005 , God started speaking to me, he was working within me showing me how it really is to follow Christ. I confessed  And I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart and in the same year got baptized. And I also battled with low self esteem as to many kids tease me because of how I looked, but Jesus took it away from me little by little. I am now a confident lady who knows that I am God’s masterpiece (Ephesians  2:10).

Living for Christ and knowing that he is in your heart is wonderful.  But it was also hard, for it requires me to turn my back from the world completely. Temptation is everywhere and I stumbled a lot and sinned, there came a point that i became so cold spiritually because of my struggle with sin. Back in high school I would always cheat on exams, quizzes, even home works especially when it comes to math,. I knew it was wrong and I felt God’s conviction in my heart but I did it anyway because everyone in class was doing it and they don’t care of you cheat on them or not ,it’s  like teamwork. I did a lot of awful things and I deserved punishment. But that’s where Jesus comes in. God loves me so much he won’t let me continue living that kind of life, that’s why  He sent  Jesus (John 3:16).

There were times I feel the shame of my sin fall upon me and it was so great I don’t want to come to God anymore to repent, because I thought how could he forgive me now? WHAT AN INSULT TO GOD’s UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!! JUSTICE and MERCY. God is Just, and I deserve the consequences of my sin which is death (Romans 6:23) but God is merciful , so all the wrath that was meant for me Jesus took upon Himself when He died on that cross. And I am a witness to that Mercy!  Every time I stumble God reminds me to come back to Him for in him will I only find joy and life.He wants me to keep confessing and keep striving to live to please Him.

Although I stand firm with my conviction of no to drinking, no to going home late, no to smoking, no to this, this, and that and that following Christ isn’t just about saying No to what the world offers you, it’s also about saying YES to what he tells you to do. And I had to say YES!

After high school , I went for one semester in college but stopped, for I felt no satisfaction as I knew that God wanted me to pursue something else as far as college course is concerned. So no matter how risky I stopped school and is now spending my time seeking His will.  I am absolutely excited to be where God wants me to be! I am now keeping myself busy with spending more and more intimate time with the Lord. Looking forward to studying the right course, at the right time, and at the right school.

I am also now part of our Church worship team, and I know that God lead me into this ministry to bring worship to Him WHO IS WONDERFUL! WHO IS MIGHTY! WHO IS POWERFUL! Just wow!

The journey with Christ is wonderful and worth all the hardships we go through , for He makes all of it work together (Romans 8:28).  I am in pursuit of God, knowing that he strengthens me to live according to His will. Though I stumble I will not fall (Psalm 37:24). I am in the process of learning, hearing, obeying and trusting God. He is now changing me radically and equipping me for what He wants me to do.

“Let not the things of this world ever sway me, I’ll run till I finish the race!”

There are more details but if you’d like to know more about my Journey just watch out for my text posts. Jesus absolutely loves us all! Thanks be to the FATHER!
