RETREAT 2011 @ Carmelite Missionaries Center.
"For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And he will be called, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace."
- Isaiah 9:6
Our retreat was held last October 25-27 @ The Carmelite Missionaries Center something. It was a VERY BIG place that requires SILENCE. As in, you should be VERY SILENT and well shut. It's hard to be silent, honestly. I'm not a quiet person knowing that once you get me started I never shut up.
So anyway, I have a testimony for this retreat and I'm just going to say this now because we weren't given a chance to testify what we felt or what happened to us this retreat.
So last Oct. 26, that was Wednesday, in the afternoon, I lost something that was very important to me. I lost my pink file case that contains papers and chords of christian songs and other songs that I use in the church and other events. It also contains my certificates and remembrances of the events I participated in. It was so important that I was DESPERATELY looking for it. I searched all around the session hall where I left it. Actually, I left it there because I know that we're still going back after lunch and siesta. But when I came back, it was all GONE. GONE, NOT A SINGLE SOUL OF IT WAS FOUND. So I asked every person I know who would borrow that case, but no one saw it. I searched in out and of the desks (and there were a lot of it FYI), I searched behind things, I searched at every corner of the hall and even at the snacks section. I even went up and down through the stairs to go to my room and search there. But unfortunately, I didn't find it. So when it was night time, there was praise and worship and luckily, it wasn't my turn to play the keyboard, I just stood there worrying about my clear file case. My friend, Lyza, tried to keep me out of my dilemma but I just can't focus on praising and worshiping God. But then a voice spoke to me, it asked me why I was worrying. Come to think of it, I've been worrying the whole time and.. it's like I didn't appreciate the purpose of the retreat and the center of it, which is, GOD. I asked forgiveness to God and finally cleared out my mind about that pink file case. I enjoyed the night and... when I tried to find it again, I FINALLY FOUND IT! It was kept inside the boxes used for the awards and games and stuff. Maybe someone thought it was part of it so he just put it there. Nevertheless, I was so happy that I found my pink file case. I'll try to be more careful next time. :) But I'll never forget the purpose of everything I do and that is: TO GLORIFY GOD.
Thank you and GOD BLESS. :)
cheers.

Hey there. I'm Sofia. Most people misspell my name as Sophia, but that 's okay. I was born in the 1996. I'm kind and I'm a ticking bomb of randomness. I can be as genius as Jimmy Neutron and I can be as dumb as Patrick Star. One thing's for sure, Math is not that hard. I like writing stories, making graphics, playing the piano, dancing to the beat and singing beautiful melodies. I can be hypocritical, but everyone also is anyway. It's amusing to see how ironic people can be. Anyway, Hillsong, Casting Crowns, Planetshakers, All Time Low, We the Kings, The Maine, and The Ready Set is L-O-V-E. I'm a Sophomore. I Love God SOOO much and MAHAL KO KAYONG LAHAT. :3
