What was the highlight of your mid-year?

It has been a long time since I blogged. I was caught up by so many things and has been very lazy to write. :D Anyway, school is starting soon and I have mixed feelings about it. Maybe because summer is over and it's hard to snap back to reality? But before I do that, I just want to share with you the following things that truly made a difference in my 2014 mid-year.

Behold and Ponder: This summer, I was very blessed to have attended the 20th Singles for Christ Conference held in Chicago, It was a spirit-filled experience for me because I was able to looked back as to how far I have gone into my life's journey. I won't be as to where I am now if it wasn't part of God's plan. I know that life will always be tough and there will lots of stones thrown at us but what I truly realized during that conference is that God wants us to make our break-ups to breakthroughs and our tests to testimonies. God is really amazing in so many ways that I can't imagine.

Journey Beyond: Northeast Chapter

Call to mission: As the conference ended, I was given chance to attend the mission volunteer program of CFC-USA. Honestly speaking, this has been an answered prayer to me. Why? Because since 2012, I have been thinking of becoming a missionary but I have a lot of what ifs and the most scary thought about it is the fact that  I will need to give up my human desires, dreams, friends and even family  and just surrender everything to God. During that training, I was able to learn more about myself. It served as an eye opener that, "God created me to do some committed service." It will be hard and it will be part of my constant prayer as to what does He really want me to do. But right now, the underlying question is what can I do to bring Him to others?



The MVs: Setting our hearts on fire


Youth Camp: What else can I say but perfect timing. I really thank God for this opportunity He has given us. He allowed our youth to conduct this camp in calling other youth to know Christ and to bring Him wherever they are. Each one of them really stepped up unto their games and has shown compassion for this ministry. As for myself, this has been by far one of my greatest accomplishment in my life. I always believed that the youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow and if we mold them to become good individuals rooted by the christian faith, they will all be alright as they make their own life choices. It is indeed our responsibility as adults to guide them and it is my pleasure in leading them towards God's direction. (And a shout-out to my brother, who is now officially part of the YFC. Yey!)

Adventure: My cousins from Maryland came to visit and we were all up for an adventure except for me because I am scaredy cat but I did try at some point. We went to Mountain Creek and went on cliff jumping, tarzan swings and etc. I wished I could share with you my video but it is way too embarrassing. But whatever, the point is I had fun and it is one for the books.

Epic Fail: Tarzan Swings

Now I can say that I am getting through the year and I will still continue making more memories. Remember the days go by fast so make the most out of it. :)
