Uncategorized | Comment (0)the weekend retreat
i cant sleep, again. medyo kainit kag ka paang sa room siguro and nasanay na ko guro sa temperature sa don salvador for this past two days i was there–so i was thinking of writing what had happened this weekend.
actually, my mind was fixed on not to attend the retreat since it was also the wedding day of manong ken (which was like our older bro and a close family friend!!). i don’t know what comes in me why i suddenly hand in P250.00 as my payment for the registration to Gloan.
anyway, i packed my things in case i changed my mind if im not going in the last minute. but there i go, all packed to the cfc center to join and discover myself this weekend.
we departed the busy and noisy streets of bacolod around 130pm. up we go and its raining there. the venue was nice, the water sa pool was so cold like you’re taking a bath in the pitcher sa sulod freezer.
the activity started around 5pm and manang pinx begin with her talk no 1 about PURPOSE.
-what was my purpose in life?
-what was my mission?
-do i have this mission statement that will lead me to fulfillment?
i suddenly realized na "wala". wala gali pakadtuan ang life ko kung maanu ko? i mean, yes, i have dreams-ambitions-desires–"whatever you may call it" pero the process of going through it–wala gid. the first activity lead us to our purpose-our mission. so, we jot down our missions that this will lead what we really wanted.
wilmon graces the second talk about PASSION. what my passions are? a lot of shopping, movies, gadgets, beads, all about arts and crafts, my work–definitely, my work because it supports me and my family. but before i go through this passion, i should have the passion to our GOD.
PAIN was the third talk was all about and was introduced to us by manang erms. of course, who doesnt feel pain? even GOD feels this how much more kita? of course, before meeting our dreams and ambitions, we can never surpass the existence of pain. di ba, ara gid na xa when we tried to do something in order to achieve it? whether that pain comes from the family–from our friends–or sometimes from our surroundings as well. but if we learn how to forgive and forget, though i know its hard to do, we will feel lighter after we did.
Gauden talks about PLEASURE. after pain, later then we experience pleasure after all the hardships. hambal gani nila, there is always a rainbow after the rain. meaning theres always joy after we experience trials. joys given by what we re passionate about, from our family and friends as well.
the day ends with the fourth discussion. all ends with a one on one session on what are the hindrances of serving GOD. for me, aside from the finances, busy schedules and all which pwede na iya mapangitaan way, what hinders me if i wont change myself personally-traits, habits, and all–i guess i wont be either an effective in the service i choose. dapat d ba, it will start from yourself-from within so that ang service mo mas mayo pa gid ang guilt free ka. ayt?
kanamit sang hotdog, galing kulang!! (slamat kay floyd, gindulongan niya kami hotdog sa room. heheh)
the activity ended with the last talk from manong vinsoy about POWER. discovering your power given to you in order to use it in your service. of course, when it was given, dapat we know where to use it and using it properly.
and of course, the pool. everybody jumps into the very cold pool. and picture-picture will not be forget. everybody pose for a remembrance of the venue.
oh how i miss my bed…tulog na ko.
NOW SIGNING OFF.
