last march 07, 2008. na experienced ko ulit magrecollection. woohoo! super tagal na din nung huling beses ako naka attend ng reco. since elementary kasi sa catholic school ako nag-aral. tapos annually nagkakaroon kami ng recollection/retreat. isa sa yun sa pinaka favorite kong event na gingawa namin sa school. masaya kasi magreco/retreat e. kasama mo lang yung friends mo and lahat ng classmates mo. tapos maraming activities and sharing na nangyayari. you'll get to know your friends better. lahat ng mga pinagdadaanan nila and mga thoughts nila about life. and not just that, pinaka astig pa dun is mas makikilala mo si God ng mas mabuti. at mararamdaman mo kung gaano ka Niya kamahal, at gaano Siya kasaya kasi binubuksan mo yung sarili mo sa kanya, pati sa ibang tao. bonus pa dun kapag sobrang astig yung retreat master mo. kapag ka kasi ganun pipigain ka talaga nila, na tipong gusto mo na lang i-surrender lahat kay God. and nung nagreco nga kami nung march 07, hindi na naman ako binigo ni God. ang galing-galing nung nangyari. ang saya nung event. puro kantahan tapos sharing nung mga speaker sa bawat talk. and super nakaka-inspire lang yung mga tao sa ELIM. kung gaano sila kadidicated sa service nila kay God. halos lahat kasi nung nag-talk mga full time servant of the Lord na sila. Full time, meaning yun na talaga yung pinagkakaabalahan nila sa buahay. yung ipakita at i-share sa mga tao yung Word ni God. Astig silang lahat.
TALK1 - What are you chasing after
*Ate Dondon Dumadag* - trusting in God's plan and surrendering everything for His greater glory.
- make sure that the thing you're living for is worth dying for.
- But whatever gains I had, these I have come to consider a loss because of Christ. More than that, I even consider everything as a loss because of the supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus my LOrd. For his sake I have accepted the loss of all things and I consider them so much rubbish, that I may gain Christ. I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:7-8;14
TALK2 - The truth shall set you free
*Kuya Kiddo Cosio* - isang makamundo at mapanuksong usapan.
-we became comfortable with what is wrong.
-and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. - John 8:32
-all have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23
TALK3 - (nakalimutan q yung title, nasira na kasi yung lcd sa part na 2 e. hehe.)
*Ate Carina* - God's love will never fail you. He will give you great things more than what you've imagined.
-May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit. - John 15:13
-Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our offenses crushed for our suns, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. - Isaiah 53:4-5
kapag ka nga naman pinakita ni God sayo kung gaano ka Niya kamahal wala ka na lang talagang magagawa kung hindi tagapin yung pagmamahal na iyon. wag ka ng choosy kasi yung inaalok niya sayo yun na yung piankamagandang mangyayari sa buhay mo, at hinding hindi ka magsisisi kapag tnanggap mo yun at hayaan mo lang na i-consume ka ng pagmamahal na iyon.
personally, marami akong kinakatakutang mangyari sa buhay. lagi kasi akong nagiisip ahead at nageexpect ng mga bagay. after nung recollection namin sa ELIM, parang sinabi sa akin ni God na wag akong mabahala sa mga bagay na paparating pa lang. magmahal ka lang. tumawa ka. magalit ka. mag-enjoy ka. lahat naman kasi yan plinano ko para sayo. magtiwala ka lang sa pagmamahal ko at hinding hindi ka nito papabayaan.
For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for despair! plans to give you a future full of hope. - Jeremiah 29:11
i love you pa.
Godbless.
