the ups and downs, twists and turns, and wHaTeVerS...Ü



I crawled off the right path, jumped down, run away... have stumled, fallen, been broken but it was all worth the pain. Now i learned how to stand still, listen, and follow... and now that i've accepted to go through His challenge, with an expectant heart i'm joyfully taking this journey to eternity. Lord be my guide...

EXPECTANT HEART

Retreat's Main Text: Luke 5: 17-26
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
17One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick. 18Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."

21The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

22Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."

Session 1 (Why are you here?) akala ko nakarelate lang ako sa friends of the paralytic kasi same na we went to Jesus with an expectant heart pero during the Cell Group Devotion#1 feeling ko combination na ako ng friends & crowd kasi nasa retreat din pala ako to make usi ang difference lang eh hindi ako passive sa pag-uusi ko kung anung gimik ni Lord. Nung Session 2 (You and your faith) narealize kong may something sa faith kong kailangang maayos then nung Session 3 (What Jesus did) narealize ko na in a way eh paralytic din pala ako dahil nga may mali sa faith ko and kailangan ma-heal yun.

So recharged from the retreat I can say that I'm still in an emotional high right now. I went with an expectant heart @ akala ko sobra yung inexpect ko pero I got more than what I was expecting, I got not just what i wanted but also what I needed. Hindi lang ako na-heal na-forgive pa ako. Never talagang sakto lang yung binibigay ni Lord laging more than enough, hay super galante talaga bast amag trust ka and willing ka na mag claim. Astig, He never fails to amaze me!

For Christians earth is just a temporary place to live in, this isn't our "home". So ano palang reli ng araw-araw na ibinubuhay namin dito?! Kasi every day is a journey home to heaven kaya we have to live each day para makarating kami sa aming "home". Pero hindi pwedeng ganun lang na gigising at gagawa ng kung anu-ano hanggang matapos ang araw. Dapat like what the pralytic did when he received healing and forgiveness we should go home praising God too. We should live each day doing something that glorifies Him. Easy for me to say kasi "high" pa ako?! Kung i-see-seek naman talaga natin ang face Niya, kung kukulitin natin si Lord to reveal to us kahit one Kingdom Secret a day, and if we wake up every morning na may something na gagawin or ipapagawa si Lord satin, hindi ba exciting yun?! All we need is that thing called FAITH plus that PASSION for HIM... Yes it is not that easy but knowing that God is there to back me up eh why not chocknut?! So what now?! Eh di may bago kong commitment dahil hindi na ako paralytic, magiging friend of the paralytic na ako. Because i'm healed, i'll bring paralytic friends (shemps hindi yung literal diba?!) to Jesus for healing and to be forgiven.

LOVE WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING
Jennifer Love Hewitt



Today, today I bet my life
You have no idea
What I feel inside
Don't, be afraid to let it show
For you'll never know
If you let it hide

I love you
You love me
Take this gift and don't ask why
Cause if you will let me
I'll take what scares you
Hold it deep inside
And if you ask me why I'm with you
And why I'll never
Leave
Love will show you everything

One day
When youth is just a memory
I know you'll be standing right next to me

I love you
You love me
Take this gift and don't ask why
Cause if you will let me
I'll take what scares you
Hold it deep inside
And if you ask me why I'm with you
And why I'll never
Leave
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything
