Reflection from Mrs. Judy Lee L. Pinson

The recently concluded 3-Day FFWPU Visayas Leaders Meeting was a deeply meaningful experience for me. Even as I participated in the meeting, our family was still going through a time of emotional adjustment and transition to settlement following the hospitalization and ascension of our second daughter. In the midst of this, I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to continue serving Heavenly Parents and True Parent’s providence and to attend the meeting as the newly assigned pastor of FFWPU Bohol.

Through prayer and reflection, given the time and era that we are in – era of Cheon Il Guk our family do not view my daughter’s sacrifice as something meant to indemnify the past. Rather, I believe it has laid a precious foundation for the success of the future providence. Her life calls me not to sorrow alone, but to dive deeper in faith, responsibility, and resolve.

As a parent and as a newly assigned pastor, I feel a renewed determination. It is now my responsibility to find the results of her sacrifice—by restoring church life in Bohol, reactivating Blessed Families, and fulfilling my mission with sincerity and devotion. This leaders’ meeting strengthened my conviction that even amid suffering, Heavenly Parent continues to guide the providence toward hope and victory. I move forward with gratitude, humility, and a firm commitment to offer my best for Heavenly Parent’s will.
