in full submission
(Ecc 3:1 KJV) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
This is a passage to ease a humble heart, makingme regret nothing. Rather, it teaches me to accept with patience and understanding all that has happened in my life and to never forget to give praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for making it His masterpiece.
I decided to attend this Kawayan Camp 2012last October. God made me see what I lack the most – the courage to make my first step. The camp revealed to me that God, indeed, has already won my battle, even before I was conceived. What I only need is to run the race.
BEING MOVED FROM ‘SEEN’ TO ‘UNSEEN’
God has been testing my faith since that camp, and one of the things I learned is to value that ‘substance of devotion,’ living each day with the passion to continue knowing Him more. I believe that the Kawayan Camp (KC) will assist me in completing more laps for the race.
KNOWING IT WILL COST ME MORE THAN WHAT I THINK I CAN PAY
My pastor once preached that “every soul is expensive.” To have gained my self-value, knowing that Jesus Christ is in me, gives me courage to become God’s starting point. It will cost me more – money, time, and friends, among others. For me who rarely talks to people, I know KC will be a training ground.
GOING FURTHER THAN WHAT I THINK I CAN DO.
I grew up as a travelling observer – a ‘tubongTimog-Katagalugan’ who ended up studying and adapting the ‘Ilonggo’ culture. Now knowing that I can rise and shine through Christ, I want to train on using my God-sent giftsin its full potential.
ACCOMPLISHING GREATER THAN WHAT I THINK I CAN.
Attending the DLTC ‘11brought back a once forgotten feeling –my first overwhelming encounter with Jesus Christ. It was like being born again for the second time. It was then that I got my resolve to attend the Kawayan Camp, hoping to experience more miracles and revelations that God will manifest in my life.
ENVISIONING A YEAR OF FULFILLMENT
My birthday came this January. I usually welcome it as an older person whoimpatiently anticipates what I’ll become for the future, thus, forgetting to live life day-by-day. Yet, I celebrated it this year as a maturing Christian – seeing God’s handiwork in me: that I am created to be like Him; and that my purpose is to be like Him in action. I want to attend the KC for guidance on my RACE IN FULL SUBMISSION.
I was 21 when I became a DLTC camper. Now I am 22 years old, and I only got one semester left ‘til graduation. Still, I never think about the past as a wasted time. I believe that the Lord God only wanted me to be molded in perfection.
(Ecc 3:11 KJV) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
