Pee Why See

Tonight, I heard Tin2x speak about her family. She proved herself to be a woman of faith. And Kuya Renj is finally going to training to be a full-time pastoral worker. Praise God!

Sunday, May 27

I just got back here in Tacloban City from the Provincial Youth Conference in Visca, Baybay City, Leyte. It was an awesome experience. It made me want to serve God more. I’m on fire! Just burning with passion.

This morning, Kuya Julius, the speaker in Session 4, told us to reflect on the greatness of God in our lives. I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. I realized God has been so good to me. He has blessed me so much. What struck me most was the thought of how He has blessed me of a happy family once and how that would remain only as a memory now.

Then it occurred to me that that’s what’s happening to many families these days.  God was telling me it doesn’t have to be like this – broken. He made me feel what it is like to be part of a happy family and what it is like to have it fall apart. I can feel how blessed I am because He pulled me closer when I lost what made me happy. He does it all the time, actually, not just to me. He is close to the broken-hearted. But only a few find their way to Him. And I did. Thank God. I did. But what would happen to those who lose their way?

This is my conviction: to stop families on the verge of being broken from falling apart; to set a good example for children from broken homes; and to continue to be hopeful in the Lord – hopeful for my family and for other broken families.

Kuya Julius also made us “Speak with the heart”. It was an activity wherein we shouldn’t say anything but just go directly to our brothers and sisters who have been an instrument in bringing us closer to God and tap them on the shoulder or give them a hug and I did. Then later on, I thought of these people:

Tin2x

Mimi

Ate Francess

Ate Marj

Ate Cied

Ate Mel

Kuya Renj

Gab

Kuya Clint

Kuya Bhadz

Rowel

Ate Jaja

I may not have tapped all their shoulders nor given them all a hug today but someday, I will. They are my brothers and sisters who have been really good to me.

As Youth for Christ, we celebrate God’s greatness. We are 100% free. We build lasting friendships. We are happy with our life with Christ.

I’m sleepy, yet I still want to write some more. Maybe tomorrow. See how I’m on fire?
