Nobody Wants To Be The Last One There


Honestly my mind is really blank right now of what to write but I decided to write a new entry since the last one is getting quite old already and I'll be out for practically a whole week. I wanted to share a piece of wisdom or just something that would help you guys look at life at a better perspective. I hope it helps you guys.

I spent my last weekend trying to learn new things about life and most especially myself. I was part of the Search-In Family of Zobel which for me was a great achievement. Search-In cannot really be described since it really means lots of things to the people who've experienced it. I believe that this organization is very unique and it really helped me become a better person. Maybe I can say that Search In is LIFE CHANGING.

Another thing I like about the retreats of this org is that the seriousness is very well kept all through out. Yes, there are also happy times as well but the main essence of the activities never gets away. There weren't any cameras present during the whole retreat which makes it even more different from all the "orgs" I know from Zobel.

One lesson I learned from the whole experience is that God will always be with us. If we don't feel Him around, He'd let other people represent Him so that we would feel loved and He'd tell us that He's still there with us. Jesus loves us very much and we wouldn't be here if not for Him.

When we sin and we regret our sins and when we want to make up for our sins, there wouldn't be any other way that can take it away. Our good deeds which we think that would erase all the bad things we've done wouldn't work. What you could do or what we could do is to offer God our sins and make Him forgive them. Once we do that with our pure hearts, we will be simply 100% forgiven. God is a loving God and He would do anything for us. He even died for us.

If you really love a person, you would trust him or her. If you love a person, you would be faithful to him or her. When you are apart from one another, you shouldn't be worried of that person finding a new person and falling in love with that somebody new. These kinds of things are tests on true love because true love is not common and true love is priceless. If you really love someone and somebody loves you back as much, you 2 must have a solid bond that no matter what happens, it wouldn't break. If it does, it's not true love.

"I love you not because of, but inspite of."

"WE are the reason why He suffered and died."

"Kung kailangan mo ako sa oras ng iyong pag-iisa...Asahan mong ako ay darating."

Until the next time.

Phim

hey circle mate! :)

being in search in really is such a blessing. I realized so many things in that retreat as well, like how we should say yes to God each day, one day at a time.

reading this entry just refreshed the feeling i had after the retreat. i felt braver, i felt stronger. i guess these are feelings i need to be reminded of nowadays.

btw youre a very prolific writter. DONT STOP! :)
