---A
young mountaineer’s testimony of firsts. A journey to Mount Batulao and Mount Pico de Loro.
Jannah, with a big smile, shares her joy along the trail of Mount Batulao.

At dahil
may fear ako sa heights, struggle talaga ako sa pagakyat. Lalo na sa mt.
Batulao na sobrang steep ng trail, one wrong move and poof! Haha. Kaliwa't
kanan ung bangin, 80-90 degrees uphill, at napakalakas ng hangin. It was really
challenging. sabi nga ni Kuya Patrick, 80% Prayer & 20% Hiking.
But God promised, He will make my feet like the feet of the deer, able to stand on great heights. Yun lang talaga pinanghawakan ko all throughout the climb. I was singing worship songs to dissolve my fear and anxiety.
At eto, I SURVIVED! I CONQUERED MT. BATULAO!! This is my testimony of God's awesomeness, goodness, faithfulness, provision and protection. Though for man, things may seem impossible, but for God, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
One thing I realized during the climb, though ang buhay natin puro bangin at bato, napakachallenging, napakahirap, nakakapagod, magfocus ka lang sa goal mo to reach the top (perseverance), and hold on ka lang kay God na alam mong hinding hindi ka papabayaan kahit ano pang mangyari. Victory is there waiting for you!
Truly, GOD IS WITH US AS WE FACE EACH AND EVERY TRIAL THAT COMES OUR WAY. You just have to KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. ♥
(After a few months) Almost 64 hours na gising, from duty to hiking to duty again, to church and then coaching. ang awesome lang ni Lord magsustain. Di bale nang walang tulog, kesa walang gising, diba? HAHAHA.
Anyway, this is my testimony of Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I was able to conquer the heights of Pico de Loro! Kahit sobrang naiiyak na ko sa kaba at takot, halos every 10 seconds, napapatawag ako kay Lord, nung paakyat na kami sa peak. Nakakatuwa lang, kasi in every hike, andaming tnturo sakin ni God. PERSEVERANCE. TRUST. VALUE OF TEAMWORK. GRATITUDE. FAITH. ♥ God can really teach you lessons in ways you can never imagine.
At kahit pa naligaw kaming apat (jerome, cath, ruel at ako), nagawa pa naming mag harlem shake at mag conyo conversations habang hinahanap ung tamang daan. JOY IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS ika nga.
Truly, each opportunity to climb is a great blessing from God, and for that I am forever grateful.

is the man who PERSEVERES under trial, for when he has stood the test he will
receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."
