Forget the luxurious beaches of Bohol and let us try another beach where everyone can afford to go to. Let us visit Cabisea Beach of Ubujan District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
Cabisea Beach has been the source of income for many fishermen of Ubujan. It is rich with a variety of fishes, sea shells and sea weeds. This place has been my childhood’s favorite hang out. I remember the time when I would go along with my family to get some kinhason (shell fish) which we would make then as our supper. I learned how to distinguish a shellfish hiding the gulf weeds. It takes a great talent!
This beach is facing the Maribojoc Bay. It is rocky. There is a pool that would fill the entire area with sea waters if it is high tide. Mangrove Trees are planted on its side. Many locals would stop by just to chit chat, mostly are fishermen.
So my family had a picnic at this place last Tuesday morning. For months I have not visited this place and revisiting it brings me my nostalgic childhood memories.
Just to let you know, my home church is Jesus is Still the Answer Foursquare Church in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. I became a Christian last November 2005 (19 years old) and it was my friend from college who introduced me this lifestyle. I was never been a deep follower of Christ before. I just knew that Jesus died on the cross to save sinners… just that and there was no personal encounter with the Lord. And with the help of prayers and with the works of the Holy Spirit, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior and Lord.
I used to be in a worship music ministry before. I was a back up a singer and at the same time I was a worship leader. Things changed when College days was over and I had to find a work that would help me and my family financially. I got a job here in Cebu City. For over a year now, I am back to a regular Sunday worshiper. But I am not back sliding. lol Life is different when you have a ministry to work with. I miss worship leading… I miss chatting with my church mates… I miss my home church. So just last Sunday (August 29), I got home and was able to be reunited with them.
Just for FYI, Foursquare Church Tagbilaran is located at Brunil Drive, Dao District, Tagbilaran City, Bohol 6300. So if you are visiting Bohol and looking for a Foursquare Church, you know now the place. So I definitely post pictures.
The reason why I got a 3 day leave from work was because I attended a Youth Fellowship. Just like I said, I miss my church mates. The event had a theme “Refuel”. I remember Ptr. Ralph said, refuel is the same as refill. I understand of the idea that Christian walk is not perfect at all times… there will be times when you feel weary and it is always a part of growing up, refilling oneself with His Presence is a great way to strengthen one’s Christian faith. No man is an island, one example of refueling is by having a fellowship with co-believers. I am glad that I was able to attend this event.
