Youth Camp (Part 1)

June 1, 2012

Had a glorious day at the Mimosa Park, Clarkfield, Pampanga. Thanks to my ever beloved pastors and elders who made this event possible, even though we arrived to late. *laugh*

My heart says that I want to go in that place because I want to know more about Him and to praise/worship Him (hindi naman swimming ang hinabol ko, but I arrived late so I don't have problem with that). Hours after, our program started.

Our pastor preached about rebellion, it is an act in which you are against to the person or opposing something in an authority (e.g. when your parents tell you to follow the rules but you always keep on complaining which is considered as an act of rebellion, another one is not following the ten commandments which is also against the will of the Lord). She added that we, the children of God, must set our minds and hearts to Him for He shall give you a lot of blessing to come in your life and of course love and obey Him and your parents. The pastor also said about the difference between secular and non-secular (Christian songs). One of the songs that I always played in my mind is "The Greatest Love of All" wherein based on the lyrics "learning to love YOURSELF, is the greatest love of all" which is too selfish to say, isn't it? He doesn't want us to be selfish (I was about to internalize at that time), it is against the "Greatest Commandment" that the Lord said. God called us because we want to sacrifice our life to Him with all the worships and praises we uttered in our mouth. That very night after preaching His wonderful word. All of us were delivered from spirits that we inappropriately obtained in our hearts. I thank GOD for His presence which I always keep in touch with Him. I enjoyed also on that day because I played my instruments to rejoice and sing praise and worship songs.

All of us devoted to Him, hindi mawawala ang pagsamba sa Kanyang pangalan. We devoted about what we had delivered yesterday. Then after the devotion, we headed to a place then our coordinator divided our camp into 2 teams. We won because we followed His way, no matter what hindrance comes in your way, we keep on holding on with the presence of His name, there is a time that we fall down from but God helps us to stand up, continue the adventure and finish it. After the activity, she discussed every meaning of every station (the game is divided into 7 stations). I was blessed in this kind of activity because hindi lang siya pang-teamwork, it gave us values. 

Then we headed back to the church to eat our lunch and continue the program. I loved our first activity in the church (2 teams as usual) which we pass the "yantok" or stick on  our co-competitors. The last activity was played from the other team, suddenly it was on-hold. We ate dinner and that night came where we had a session about the role of music in the kingdom of God, which I am related in this kind of matter, I kept on gratifying His will because He gave me such a wonderful talent.
