𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍 | The Lighthouse Fellowship officially opened 2026 with a joyful Sabbath at Cantongtong SDA Church, the first gathering since the Catbalogan District cluster division.

Driven by faith and purpose, the congregation honored the Lord’s holy day through heartfelt worship and a shared anticipation for the "Linupak Center’s" finest treats. The day concluded with the sweet taste of Cantongtong’s signature Linupak, celebrating a new chapter of spiritual growth and community.

There are days when the world feels far too loud and the road ahead looks impossibly steep. It’s that deep, quiet fatigue that settles into your bones, making even the simplest tasks feel like a heavy burden. 𝗪𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

But there is a sacred honesty in saying, "I am tired." It is in those moments of total depletion—when our own strength has finally run dry—that we become most open to a peace that doesn't depend on our circumstances.

In the Bible, we see this most tenderly in the story of Elijah. After facing immense pressure and fear, he fled into the wilderness, sat under a tree, and prayed that his life would simply end. 𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺. God’s response to him wasn’t a reprimand or a demand for more work; instead, it was a display of profound gentleness. God allowed him to sleep, provided him with food, and met him not in a roaring fire or a great wind, but in a "still, small voice."

𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫
𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐭,
𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬,
𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

If you are feeling the weight of the world today, please know that it is okay to pause. You do not have to carry the future on your shoulders, and you don’t have to have all the answers by tomorrow morning. Trust that the same hands that hold the stars are holding your weary heart, and that this season of heaviness is not the end of your story.

Take a breath, get some rest, and know that you are allowed to rest until your strength is renewed.

The final morning at Experience Beach Resort was a quiet, peaceful scene as the Catbalogan District delegates began their early departure. Amidst the soft morning light, photos captured gentle smiles and a sense of calm as everyone loaded their bags and shared final words of encouragement.

While the Federation has come to a close, the joy of the Sabbath and the strength of our fellowship travel back with us to Catbalogan.
