My heart searches restlessly, and finds no rest til it rests in Thee.
Everyday always seemed like a marathon. A routine. Very constant. Not changing. I always push myself to do certain things just for the sake of surviving a day. Useless and Lifeless. There is a battle with what I want for myself and what others want for me. Too confused. At the end of every day, I find myself too tired and uninspired. I find my heart longing for PEACE. But because of this retreat, this confusion was cleared. I was reminded that this life isn't about me... It's about HIM. Apart from Him, I am nothing. It is only in His love, It is only when I surrender all of my uncertainties, my griefs and my heartaches to Him that I will find the peace that I have been looking for.
Despite of not having my friends around in this retreat, God gave me the chance to meet beautiful people inside and out that reminded me that I am not walking this life alone. That I am not the only one who wanted to quench the thirst of my heart. That I am not the only one who searches for love. That I am not the only one who searches myself and my purpose.
Life is not a matter of CHANCE, but a matter of CHOICE..
and I choose to love You, Lord..
Joining CROSSROADS RETREAT has been one of my best memories so far :) I did not choose to be there but God chose me to be there. It is not by accident, it always felt like this has been planned ahead. It is kind of sad I am the only one among my friends who was able to come in this retreat but nonetheless, I am still grateful. This life is too short and to precious to waste. No matter how unworthy I am and no matter how bad my past is, I'd still give this life to You, Lord. :)
PS.
Ang sarap ng pagkain and very serene yung place! At sobrang nakakatuwa dahil nandoon din yung ibang students from other schools like DLSU, UP, ADMU, Mapua, FEU etc. I met a LOT of new friends and got their numbers too! I had so much fun! What a significant retreat! Awesomesauce! :)
