My eldest daughter Micah is a sweet thing to behold especially when she was in Kinder. The girl shows so much emotion on a lot of things that she's focusing her attention into. She cries when her baby sister cries and she cries more when I am crying. She has the loudest laugh whenever her father throws out some jokes to us.

She loves her Grandma so much and she told me that she could almost feel the hurt that Grandma's taking when my mother had a cataract operation. At 1 year old and a half, she was beside her grandfather when he died of stroke. She was joining us in trying to wake him up and was crying all the time as if she already understood what was happening.

Even at school, she easily pities a classmate who's in trouble or is crying. Sometimes it makes me think on how easily her emotions can be affected by anything around her. I just pray that she would grow up emotionally strong and not be a slave to her emotions. I'm asking God to make her strong in all things and that this trait of her would turn out to be a positive thing rather than a negative one.

These are some of her pictures when she was 5 years young...

Here's a picture of me with 4 other Pastor's wives from Bataan singing at last Sunday's Bataan Holy Ghost Explo 2008. Standing at far left with her blue toned uniform is Sis. Loida Lachica, wife of Pastor Robert (Benson) Lachica from Dinalupihan, Bataan. Next to her with a pink toned uniform is Sis. Lot Famuleras, wife of Ptr. Edward Famuleras from Balanga, Bataan. Following with a yellow toned uniform is Sis. Rona Bruno, wife of Pastor Rodney Bruno from Abucay, Bataan. Next is me, the one with the red toned uniform. Have I mentioned from my previous posts that my husband's name is Pastor Felix Ortinez and that we're ministering at the town of Limay, Bataan? Lastly is Sis. Ella Yukong with the green toned uniform, wife of Pastor Jerry Yukong from Orion, Bataan.



Although we respectfully know that each one of us is quite different from one another, we also know that we pastor's wives have many things in common. We know that we have the same hopes, the same dreams, the same prayer requests, the same day to day challenges, and most of all, the same desire that we may be able to fulfill our roles as "help meet" to God's chosen men without loosing our own God given vision of what we can be in God's Kingdom and in the Apostolic Movement.
