I'm not in the mood to write, since I usually write long, about the recent events I've been through. All I could say is AWESOME!

Our 2007 Young Friends Camp was so wonderful. I believe everyone's been blessed. And I pray that God was pleased. I believe God was.

We had our usual sessions. Each one has implanted at least one lesson to me. But the one that hit me bull's eye, through the Holy Spirit, was the Family Relationship. On the day we had the session about relationships, the Holy Spirit worked in me as if I was being shaken. There was nothing I could do but follow Him. And the healing started..

God spoke to me during the camp. Not just once, but at least thrice. One of the messages I had was when I had dinner after I talked to Ate Faye. I was looking at my plate filled with food. There was only a little space left to move the food. But being raised to empty one's plate, I was obliged to.

Little by little, I devoured the food in my plate. Sorry for the word. Well, I was really able to finish my meal. Okay, here was the message: Malaki man o maliit 'yan, kayang-kaya 'yan ni God (Big or small, God is able to work in it).

One of the things I love about this camp is the feeling of closeness between campers. We're brothers and sisters and Christ, but you can't always expect everyone to be so close. This camp was quite different. The fellowship we had was just wonderful (and I know God will continue to work in us). And to think how the Holy Spirit worked, it was double wonderful.

Another message I had, which was really personal, that I want to share is this:
It was our last night in the camp. Stuff, stuff, stuff... I talked to God and so is everyone. I told Him I want to know Him more, that I want Him to speak to me. Then God told me that I'm quite a practical person, who does not depend/based things on feelings. I have the Bible; God will speak to me through it (but God also speaks to me through situations, things, and whatever way He wants). And the most exciting message I got was God is excited to reveal Himself to me. And I believe He's also excited to reveal Himself to you. Yes, to you.


Life is more exciting with Christ in my life. And it's really nice to know that God is also working in other people.

My fears are gone. God will never leave me nor forsake me. The Lord has given me the peace that surpasses all understanding. God's mercy is new every morning. And His grace, which I don't deserve, is so amazing. No words are good enough to express how grateful I am. And with God's eternal and unconditional love, I can keep going in this world. God was absolutely right when He said, "Apart from me, you are nothing." (John 15:5)

Father in heaven, I will go on loving You.

Your love is deep
Your love is high
Your love is long
Your love is wide

Your love is deeper than my view of grace
Higher than this worldly place
Longer than this road I travel
Wider than the gap you fill

Who can separate us?
Who can separate us from Your love?
Nothing can separate us.
Nothing can separate us from Your love.

I wrote that out of memory. =D

I visited my mother. I told her what happened and by God's grace, our relationship was genuinely restored. There was complete reconciliation through the Holy Spirit.

God is really awesome. The glory, honour, and praises belong to God forever and ever. Amen.
