SAKTO!!!; ONE year na blog ko!!!

Yahoo!!! ONE year na ang blog ko!!! :D Blowout! Blowout! Joke lng..:P

Hehe..tagal ko na di nakapag-update. Madalas kasi akong tamarin o naman kaya busy sa pag-aasikaso sa mga fanfiction stories na ginagawa ko. Haii..anyway, I have to admit na na-miss ko blog ko.. (Awww...).

So, what's with this month's theme? Kung napansin niyo may pieces of lyrics dyan sa may taas at baba ng blog ko, well, tama kayo dyan! Actually, lyrics yan ng kanta ni Michelle Branch na "Everywhere". Yeah, it is a love song, but I decided to give it a different meaning. Instead of a certain guy (wala akong tinutukoy kaya wag na kayo mag-isip pa..), it is GOD who I see everywhere. Tinamaan nga ako dun sa part na nagsasabi: "when I close my eyes, it's you I see". So, ayun, I like that part the most. :)

Yung tungkol naman sa aking "Welcome Note", actually di naman talaga "Voice of Truth" ang dapat. I was thinking of a song na magfi-fit nga dun sa message ng lyrics pero naisipan ko na matatagalan at mahihirapan pa ako. Finally, I came up with "I Believe in You" sang by Il Divo and Celine Dion. Nung una ko siya narinig sa TV (actually theme song ito ng chinovela na "Eternal Love"), naiyak ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero I think it was because the lyrics was too beautiful. Kung papakinggan niyo pa yung song itself, maluluha rin kayo. Pwamiz!

Anyway, enough said about my blog. Excited na ako ikwento sa inyo ang experience ko sa naganap na Youth Summer Camp nung May 2-5 sa Rizal Re-Creation Center. Ehem...

Words not enough to express the happiness I had during the camp. I don't know. A mixture of emotions just keep sweeping me off my feet. Everytime I reminisce those days, I feel like I'm there all over again.

If I were to describe my experience, it was indeed Life-Changing. I developed friendships without any need of letting them approach me and went out of my circle. I also came to know people who became close to my heart for a short period of time. And of course, letting myself grow in Christ.

My life is slowly starting to change. I now have this passion in me to share God's Word and be part of The Great Commission. My eyes are now opened. I am now more confident than ever. This is what I want to do. This is what I will do.

Now the camp has ended, I hope and I pray to see the youth do what they have learned during the "Sessions". I also pray for the people who I don't usually see in church attend Sunday School and Youth Gatherings not because their friends are there, but develop a passion for serving God like I do now. Last but not the least, I pray as well that the Youth Ministry would continue to live on with such activities such as this.

To the people behind this event, I am truly grateful for what have you done to many young people such as me. Ngayon, alam ko SAKTO na ako sa mata ng Panginoon.

There and then. That is my short testimony about my experience in SAKTO camp. I am now looking forward to attend the next camp! :D

By the way, bago ako umalis, I just want to thank a friend of mine who had been used by God to answer my prayer.

"Pito, kapateed! Kahit di mo alam, naging malakas ang tama sakin yung sinabi mo dun sa blog mo about na may nagtanong sayo kung wala ka makita maganda sa buhay ng isang tao. Thank you sa advice mo kapateed! Ang sinabi mo afterwards became an answered prayer when I cried to the Lord last night. Thank you, thank you, thank you! "

Ayun lang..see yah next time!!! :D
