I met Tita Cora and Tito Willy during ServeCon.
They were part of the CONNECT Pillars in Feast Bellevue.
They noticed me alone at a table and simply approached me.
What seemed like a small gesture turned into a meaningful encounter.
We shared stories.
We listened.
We reflected.
They have been serving in ministry for more than 30 years.
And in that short conversation, I felt like I received something I did not even know I needed.
One message stayed with me.
Do not stop connecting people to God.
It was simple, yet it pierced deeply.
Because connection has always been part of who I am.
According to Gallup Strength Finder, one of my top strengths is connection.
It is the ability to see relationships between people, to build bridges, to create spaces where others feel seen, heard, and valued.
Looking back, I realized how this strength has shaped my life.
The friendships I built.
The communities I joined.
The conversations that turned into meaningful relationships.
But more than that, I began to realize something deeper.
This strength is not just for personal fulfillment.
It is a calling.
I also noticed a shift in myself.
I used to identify as an INFJ.
More inward, reflective, and reserved.
Someone who processes deeply and often keeps things internal.
But recently, I resonate more as an ENFJ.
Someone who leads, connects, and intentionally reaches out to people.
At first, it felt surprising.
But now, it makes sense.
Growth sometimes looks like stepping out of who you thought you were
and becoming who you are called to be.
And maybe that shift is not accidental.
Maybe it is God stretching me.
Calling me to not just reflect, but to act.
Not just to understand people, but to reach them.
Recently, I responded to that call.
I said yes to forming a group-- a community of Catholic creators who are passionate about expressing their faith through content.
We called it C4 (Short for Committed Catholic Creators Program)
It is a space to connect.
To collaborate.
To support one another.
To use our gifts for something greater than ourselves.
Because connection is not just about bringing people together.
It is about bringing people closer to God.
And that is the mission.
There is still so much more that can be done.
And honestly, that realization is both exciting and humbling.
Exciting because there is purpose.
Humbling because it reminds me that I am only a vessel.
But if there is one thing I am learning, it is this.
God does not waste our strengths.
He uses them.
So if you have the gift to connect, to influence, to bring people together…
Do not hold back.
Someone out there is waiting for a conversation.
Waiting for an invitation.
Waiting for a connection.
And that connection might just lead them closer to Him.
PS: I want to sincerely thank you for being here and supporting me. It truly means a lot. 🤍
