got nothing to say actually. oh, here's one - MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :)
my Christmas week was sort of a bum coz first, i wasn't able to join the Youth Revive Camp from 26-29. i could've endured the lonesome feeling if there were church activities; but then again, it's Christmas, and everyone's on a break now. everything will resume next year. bummer.
so after work i immediately go home and feel alone - that's the second point. my mom and my sister stayed in the province to be with my lola and help her survive Christmas without missing much our lolo...if in any way THAT could be possible. i know there are lots of house chores to be done and i guess that's one of the reasons why the Lord didn't let me join the youth camp - to get domesticated and have a more personal contemplation on things that needed to be focused on. in some ways i have seen going home straight from work an advantage coz i was able to wash my uniform early and route my hands back on the kitchen area to cook meals. i can say i've done a satisfactory job in handling those chores. one thing that needs my dire attention is my bedroom. i'm gonna need my sister's cooperation since we share that bedroom, plus we have to clean together the bookshelf since both our stuffs are stuck there. before during my college break, i get to clean our room, spick-and-span. i even endured my dust allergies just to be over and done with all the dirty work so i can sleep soundly at night. ohhhhh, i miss that. hmmm...gotta do that on............my first saturday off? sure. hope so. after all, our youth fellowship won't be starting til the 13th. =)
what else do i need to point out? there must be a third point. wag na lang. i decided to just keep it to myself. well i never kept it to myself; my dad and Lord Jesus know what it is. let's just leave it at that, alright?
to tell you honestly, i feel envious and ecstatic to the ones who were able to attend the youth camp. all throughout the camp, i've been texting my churchmate and asked her from time to time what's going on or what the Lord has done on that particular day. i always do this daydreaming as to what they're doing that moment, and so on. and whenever i do that, i feel envious. for the ecstatic part, i'm truly glad that the young people were able to experience His presence in almost every part of the program - sessions, praise and worship, and even during the games. it's not that i'm saying i'm already past that kind of encournter with the Lord but my heart's desire is for the young people to know Him and dig deeper in His Word; to know His desire for their lives, walking with fear of the Lord.
uulitin ko pa: i feel bad wala ako dun. of course every camp or gathering bears a theme and every theme holds a great anointing because that's what the Lord spoke to the leaders organizing that event. ganda as always ng theme of this year's youth camp: Walking Circumspectly, Living in Purity. not only the young ones would need that, and not only it tackles about love. sure, that's one of the main topics needed to be discussed but it really encompasses a very huge issue. being pure, holy, and acceptable before the Lord...blameless and without wrinkle should we desire...long for. as we walk in our daily journey as His soldier, we would have to look closely every road that we pass through and see to it if we should be taking that way or not.
ayayay....mahaba-haba itong usapin but i will not keep you bored since this is getting long already. chat na lang tayo or email mo ako if you are still undecided of the REAL truth. pero here's a teaser muna: JESUS is the ONLY WAY to heaven.
God bless and have a wonderful holiday!
*trip kong ilagay din dito ang ilan sa mga new year's resolutions ko...wala lang, para maki-uso and para tignan ko kung pwede kong gawing totohanan ang mga yun ;p
