"Live a life with God"

During our Retreat at Capuchin Retreat Center, Batangas last September 18-19, 2013 was a memorable experience and renewal of faith to God. We had many activities and had fun bonding, all of it was worth of our time. When we had our first session , I was really excited and looking forward for all the activities we`ll do that day. The last activity we did was sharing of experience about the topic. Many of us became emotional and felt the spirit of God in our hearts, we all realized the importance of life to each one of us.

It gave us wisdom and knowledge about how God became part or has a big role to our lives because He gauve us His son to sacrifice for our sins. I really felt those activities , I`ve learned a lot specially according to living life with God. I also learned the pure and everlasting love of God to us that He`s willing to forgive and sacrifice for us.

It was tiring yet so fun and fulfilling day, then on the next day we had bonding with other fourth year students by having some picture takings, having conversations and of course we all prayed together for all the guidance and salvation of God.

When we had another sessions with the pastor and during that day we talked about pure love of God and to other people. We all became excited and attentive to the topic because the speaker discussed about love, well, many of us can relate to that topic specially those who had experiences. We also did some worksheets and paper activities to answer for example,messages to our future mate and future daughter or son. 

In that activity,I learned that true love waits and it will come in God`s time. And to keep my body and dignity pure because it`s God`s body too, so the speaker told us to keep our bodies clean and pure.

After that activity we took a break and then wrote letters for our parents to gave them thanks that they let us attend the Retreat. I learned the importance of living a life with the guidance of God because if you believe in Him, everything you will do, you`ll do it with Him and let His plans be. I also learned that being pure is important in God`s eye. And all of these realizations and learning can be applied on our lives and will stay with us for forever.
