"There is a time for everything and a season for activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to.give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. "~ Ecclesiates 3: 1-8 ~ When my sister invited me to join the Single Encounter weekend, I was hesistant. I thought it'll be hard for me to commit due to my work schedule. But having came from a recent break up, I tried to help myself divert my attention to so many things and yes, SE was a consideration. A week before SE starts, my Friday leave was approved and my offs were changed to Sat and Sun. God made a way for me to be able to make it to the weekend encounter, to find time to reflect and release my painful memories. To let go of those chapters in my life.I may have lost a love that I thought was for long, but God loves me unconditionally and I know that it's worth more than anything else in this world.God is telling me that there's a time for everything. Time for pain but there's also time that we will come to overcome and surpass all these trials. This community that I joined will be his tool for me to learn to let go and start a new. Meet new people, gain new friends who will be with me to pray for my recovery, and soon I'll be more complete, as the homily said as we closed the weekend encounter, this community will give us life, conversion and Love. God is telling me that whatever is it that I maybe going through or have gone through, He will always be there for me, for us and He will never leave us. He is telling me to trust Him and all my questions will have its answers in His Time. I just have to have faith. Amen. Lord, thank you for the opportunity of having been able to join this free retreat c/o Young Adults Ministry. I am grateful that you've made a way for me to realize a lot of things. It will still be a journey for me to unmask but at least I know where to start. With your grace, I hope I can close those chapters of pain that I've experienced.I feel a lot better now. Having had the chance to confess and be prayed over by our elders are my favorite experiences in this weekend encounter. It felt so good that even though I don't personally know the person I felt it was okay for me to open up and share my pain. It felt good to have cried it out and have someone prayed over you sincerely. I am thankful that I shared this weekend with beautiful people whose hearts are into making their lives more beautiful, more loving and caring.Jesus, for the gift of life, thank you for everything. I am grateful. My life story is in your hands and I know you'll lead me to the right path.♥ |
