So I haven’t been able to blog for awhile due to the fact that I’ve been super busy and that I hung out with my homeboy Jesus this past weekend. The weekend of January 28 to January 30 was probably some of the best 3 days of my life! I went on this retreat called Search. I wasn’t fully aware of what it was or what the whole purpose of it was. I just knew I had to go because my youth minister was in a way forcing me to go. Hahaha. Harsh way of saying it, but boy was something in plan for me.
Sooner did I realize that these 3 days were going to forever change my life and how I looked at everything. This Search retreat was beyond words! There were people there who had so much energy that I wasn’t able to handle it! All I know is that I wanted to do nothing but sleep. I’ll skip over what most of we did, since I would like for you to find out for yourself. (:
We did a lot of activities and had the opportunities to meet new people, renew and strengthen our relationship with God, and start a new chapter in our life. It was interesting to be in a room with over 50 strangers. They had come from all these different places and all had different backgrounds. But by the end of the weekend, we were like all best friends and we had developed a bond and sense of love for each other that was so strong that it usually takes like months to build when in all reality it took us a weekend. I honestly didn’t want to leave this world of endless love, closeness, and happiness. But it’s true that you can’t stay there forever. I had to move on with life and return to my world. Back to the world where you had to fight society, know who your friends were, and deal with drama.
I’ll never forget the experience I had with Search 121. All the new friends I met and all the things I changed in my life and will continue to do. There’s not a single moment that I would take back. I have to come and know God even more. And for that, I’m thankful for Team, Adults, and YD’s for making it possible. They made the whole retreat a success and I’m so appreciative of the time and effort they dedicated into it. I honestly wanna grow in my faith and continue to change and make a difference.
By going to Search 121, it was possible to start a new chapter in my life. I feel like a lot of things in my life are gonna need some readjusting and that I’m gonna become an even better person than before. With this, I feel most confident that I can bring about a tremendous change not only in myself but in others. Nothing can stop me as long as I have God on my side. I believe in him and trust in him. Nothing will ever change that. Finally, I love you all! And most importantly, keep it real! (:
