ahh.. haven't been here in a while so i'll just write some stuffies. :) yesterday i went for the charismatic prayer group meeting at christ the king and it was so nice! :) it is really different from the YISS growth sessions that we have in church. not that i don't like the growth sessions but last night was different in a really nice way. :) it was more serious because there were many old.. well, not old but older people there hee hee. and yah. not many people from svdp went though - about 14 of us. i suppose that's quite a good number. hee. but yeah anyway, the songs that they sang were those that i've never heard before! but then i'm biased towards a couple of songs so maybe i should expand my collection? is that correct? but ah well.. yes, i should start learning some more songs :)
the talk was really nice. :) the speaker was a 23 year old!! o.0 and he was so good! :) he was talking about experiencing God in your everyday life and he was talking about his missionary trip to the philippines and it was all very inspiring :) especially the part about how these 2 girls who were not originally of the Catholic faith converted to Catholicism.. but i must say the most.. stunning part of last night, if stunning is a correct word, was during the praying over. at first i was a little afraid to go up because i honestly felt that i had asked God for so many things already and i felt guilty asking for more. but aunty cecilia told me that i should go up. maybe i looked a little troubled because she said that i would feel a lot better, so i did and i prayed for all my friends :) .. and uncle andrew prayed over me. when he finished, he turned to me and told me that God had 2 words for me:
patience and
trust. and when i heard it, i was completely shocked because, well i saw how trust fit into the picture because I do trust God to take care of my friends but as for patience i knew somehow that that was for another prayer in my heart that i didn't voice out. and with the 2 of those words given to me, one did link i suppose to what i told uncle andrew that i wanted prayed for, but both answered an unspoken prayer in my heart that i have been thinking and praying about a lot of late. and i felt this wave of peace come over me when it was over and i felt all anxiety just drain out of my body. it was a very tranquil time in the chapel in the basement of the church and it felt so wonderful. :) thank you God for the message :D
bah so tired.. i've been eating so much lately. going to look like a pig. :( alrighty that's all for now :D take care and God bless!! -hugs-
