Precious Moments

It has been a long tiring day. But I was so blessed. Early this morning mg class in Environment and Society went to an Ecological Farm in Mendez in Tagaytay. It's a place to be for those who desire serenity and relaxation. After walking and checking around the place, I make the most out of the opprtunity to INHALE FRESH AIR FROM THE PLACE. Also, I got the chance to take the nap.
T he best part for me was the time we are travelling going to the said place. I got the chance to marvel God's creation while the bus is on its way. The green scenery of wild trees,coconut trees and alike releases all my worries. and stresses i had weeks before. Again, the Lord is faithful to me, i remembered monday last week that i desire to have a retreat. This is the day the Lord has made for me! And Who He is made me confident that i have a BIG GOD bigger than my problems and personal struggles.
Then it was about 1pm when we left the ecological farm. By 3:30 we were already in Manila. then i was off to go to Cainta for our KC "Informal" reunion. We went to Karl's(KC Mate) place to visit his father. we bought fruits and cake.
It was a celebration of life. Karl's father has cancer. But what encourages us is their heart and decision to stand firm in God and choosing to obey His will. They are not bitter of what is happening in their lives. Tito Jonathan(Karl's father) sat with us, and he played the guitar with worship songs he composed...yes. I call it precious Moments. Precious moments, because those are the songs we heard for the first time,and that the song has "different stories" to tell about its owner.Ljay brought bongos and egg shaker...but we forgot to bring "recorder". But it was fun jamming together, worshipping God with new songs.
Afterwhich, we had dinner fellowship, laughed and fooled around and reminiscing...hehehe...yeah, reminiscing our mischiefs in our Kawayan Camp.(KC)
Then, it was already late. we were 7 NCR KCmates who are enjoying our time together,before we go, we prayed for the 7 regions in the Philippines who will have their own LCDC camp.It is good to pray for them and knowing that we were praying for one another.
All in all, i was really blessed. there are moments we should cherish. I cherish the fresh air i inhaled from the Ecological farm, i cherish seeing the green scenery while we were travelling, i cherish my time being with friends in Christ, and most of all i cherish the time when i got the chance to hear Worship songs from a humble person who trusts in the Lord.
In Him (Jesus) We Live and Move and Have our Being...i Praise God for these life's simple pleasures yet for free...

Friends..

Friends!hah! i can't believe there are people you care for and will only throw away years of "friendship" just like that. and i can't believe i'm like this. i am used to being "rejected" all my life...who cares! i will be hurt over and over again...but i guess it's all worth it if this is what it takes that i would be a stonger person. we have our own share of ups and downs...I guess, it hurts.

SR...

Spiritual Retreat...or SR. I din't go to church today. I need to spend time with my Lord Jesus Christ. ministry in church is a great priviledge to serve God, yet when I myself is empty, how can I minister? I am broken...seeing my brother's situation hurts me a lot. And i am being harsh to myself these days. But i know in my heart the Lord is faithful. He will see us through these challenges. I love my Lord. I just need to re-align things i need to do...I don't wanna be like this. I want to grow...
