Exposed!

“HELLO THERE!”, This was a common expression I heard during the 4 days of Bradford United Church of Christ, Inc.‘s (Exposed) Youth Camp. It was 4 days of Praise, Worship, Fun, and a whole lot of FORCE! (The G-Force) - This is what our team, the green team, called ourselves. It was 4 days worth of memorable experiences and I Thank God for taking me there.

It all started with a simple invitation and a desire to have a good time for the summer. A friend invited me to join the camp and since I had no other plans, I said yes. Never did I expect that I was about embark on a wonderful experience and meet new friends along the way. Not only that. I was also reminded of someone very important in my life.

The camp was a very wonderful experience. I had a lot of fun with all the games and the activities they made us do during the camp. I also had fun hanging around with new people who were very willing to accept me in the group. I am so happy to be part of that group because not only did I have a good time with them, I was also able to learn a lot of things from them, the kind of things that I never get to have from my point of view. The G-Force was such an amazing group of people who came from different backgrounds and were united with a bond that was blessed by God. The moment I got to meet them, I knew right then and there, I would be having a time of my life.

I also learned a lot of things during the sessions and the talks. I felt like all the questions and the doubts in my mind were all cleared away by one simple answer: Jesus. I learned that no matter how I try to be independent, every person needs help. Every person needs a savior. I know that it’s too early for me to say that I’ve changed. That’s why I won’t say it. Instead, I’m going to tell you that I am saved. Yes! I was saved the moment I accepted Him. I also wouldn’t tell you that I am a righteous man since I know I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. However, the will to change is a decision. I am willing to change not only for my own good but also for His glory. And soon, with this in my heart and mind, I will be able to fulfill my promise. Now, I can say that I am definitely, moving aunne.

For a special someone

 Hi,     I know I have been the worst this past year. I know you haven't felt the same way since the pandemic hit and so did I. I thought that giving you space and waiting for you to come around was the right thing for us. I thought that you would become more independent and that you would learn that you are very strong and you can do anything. I thought that giving you the space will help you go back to being with your friends and enjoying your life without me. Most especially, I thought that when you had time to let yourself free a little, I would just be here waiting for you with all the things that you've learned by yourself and having to experience a new you.     I, too, had plans to change over that time. I wanted to enjoy being with my family and experience how it's like to live with them for a longer period of time. We were never in the same house for so long and I wanted to savor that time before I lived away from them. I wanted to make sure they were l...

"Sana all" may not be good at all

       I woke up this morning asking myself, "why are people not contented with what they have?" Why do we always find something we don't have and try to force ourselves that we should have that? In an era full content, why is there so much discontent?      I realized that the phrase "sana all" is a big part of this. We often see this phrase in comments on social media where everyone shares "the good stuff". We see a couple's nice photo and the first comment is "sana all". We see a woman in a bikini on the beach with the caption, "sunkissed", "beach please", or "vitamin sea", and the first comment is "sana all". We see a person's photo in a foreign country with a historical land mark and the first comment is "sana all".       I get it. It's supposed to make the person in the photo feel good about themselves. However, does the person saying it feel any better? "Sana all" i...

MMX

Hello guys! it's themovingAUNNE again! but today's post isn't about a new place I've been to but a new experience for me. August 13 -14 was Cookout MMX  and for me, it was a really nostalgic new experience. Nostalgic because I felt like I went back to becoming a freshman. I never told you that freshman year in college, I joined the sayawan competition and ever since then, I never joined a cookout competion- not until yesterday. yesterday, I joined three different segments in cookout. First, I joined the kantahan segment where I met new friends and found confidence in myself. kantahan was my favorite part of the night because I was amazed on how my supported me and cheered me on. I really appreciated how they let their voices loose just to scream my name. I found friends that I know would be there for me to support me. thank you guys.  the second segment was the rampahan segment. I wasn't so into it though because I got tired since it was already almost 3:00 when ...
