THANK YOU PASTOR MANNY, PASTOR SOL, PASTOR NELI AND EVERYONE!! Hahaha!
Isn't God so incredibly amazing?
I actually wasn't supposed to be part of the whole thing. I'm on leave kasi. (I just realized that I haven't had a good break in two years...) But God still made a way for me to be part of it. Isn't He sweet?
I wish everyone could have been there. It was an awesome three days of worship and impartation. There's just something about being in a room filled with people with the same heartbeat as yours--to see all people worshipping God. We shook the place for Jesus. Literally. Pinagbawalan kami to jump on the second day. Something about the floor not being sturdy enough to take it. But I was jumping naman in my heart. Belat. :P
It was an awesome experience, personally... I rediscovered His love. I have never been so in love with Jesus the way I am now. I just want to be with Him forever. Haha!
On the last day, God surprised me pa. I was totally content with just attending the thing, but as we were worshipping God showed me something, and I spoke in front! Waah! God is so awesome.
It's hard to sum up everything I learned in just a thought or two... But the biggest thing I took away is this: We all really need to get back to Jesus.
Somehow, with all the practices and songs to learn.. With everything the pastors ask us to do... With all the considerations for the congreagtion... We lose sight and forget exactly why we do this. I was born to worship Jesus. We were born to worship Jesus. Every single moment that has happened in my life, was to bring me to this very purpose. It's time to go back to His love. It's time to sing about His love again. How can we not?
We get so caught up in the consumer mentality of our world, that we treat God the same way we treat McDonalds.
We say... More! More! We want more of You!
Wake up, look around you! He has given us so much, that I personally have no idea what to do with it anymore! He gave you His word... The Bible... A love story that you can over and over everyday for the rest of your life... He gave you His love! HIS ONE AND ONLY SON! He gave you all the riches in Heaven and earth! He gave you spiritual family, spiritual gifts, peace, healing, deliverance, a destiny, eternity!!! What more can we ask for?
So, my heart has changed... I used to think of worship in terms of what God can give me... But now I want to give God my everything.... In this moment, in this heartbeat, what can i give the savior and lover of my soul?
I've been through so much, but God has been so faithful to me. Even through the desert, He held on to me. And the only reason I'm here is because of His love. So I will sing about Him, and keep on singing about Him until I see Him face to face.
Lord...
I know I don't have much... But IT'S ALL YOURS....
