So I just got back from retreat with pastor amos and all I can say is that it was awesome! :) GOD is so good to all of us. The 1st night we got there we had a power outage because of all the wind that knocked some trees down so all the electricity was off and you can imagine how that was but that didn't stop us from praising and worshiping the Lord :) Pastor Amos said that God is showing us how it is when there is no electricity but we should still be able to do things as long as we walk in the light. We didn't have our 1st session but pastor Amos did share about his experiences. Around 11 we went to our cabins to sleep and finally the electricity went on around 2am.
The next morning we all got a wake up call at 6am and yes my room are all heavy sleepers so none of us wanted to wake up. haha. but we finally got out of bed went to prayer then breakfast and then our session began. We learned about how God speaks to us through our dreams, visions, prophecy, thoughts or our feelings. We also learned how about we can miss our destiny if we do not wait for God's timing. I guess it's always about the right timing, the right time to get a boyfriend/girlfriend, the right time for getting a job, etc. God always has his own timing for everything. Afterall he already has everything planned for us anyway :) So then it was free time till 6pm, we had group activities, rock climbing, high ropes, basketball, tennis or you could sleep if you wanted too. haha. But I did the high ropes course and let's just say I was freaking out like crazy but I had good friends to back me up and kept pushing me to go forward. After all those activities it was dinner time and then another session. We had an awesome praise and worship in the beginning then came along the session which was about the 2 principles: the principle of making a stand and the principle of divine dependance. It taught us how we have to stand up for Jesus and make the best out of it because a lot of other people need to be saved and if just one person stands up for Jesus a lot of people's lives can change. An example is like this video. Copy and Paste the link and hopefully you can watch it :)

So the night passed by and it was time for a bonfiree! wohoooo! :D it was our last night there but it was a fun night. We played the telephone game, charades and we ate smores. Eventhough it was super cold but we didn't care. We just had a lot of fun with all our friends. It started getting late and we had a long day and we had to wake up early again the next morning so we all went back to our cabins and got ready for bed.
Morning came, another wake up call but none of us woke up. We slept till like 7 and we were all late for the morning prayer. ooppsss ;P but we got ready as soon as we could and left to the sanctuary. We had breakfastt then our last session came :( We learned about walking in the spirit. How if we walk in the spirit then nothing can stop you. We have an awesome God and all we have to do is believe in Him. Nothing is impossible for God ;) After that last session I got prophecied by pastor Amos. He said that i had a lot of dissapointment in my life and rejection and how I felt guilty all the time. Tears started coming down my face as he said that. He said that I need to forget about the past. He also said that I am going to be an intercessor. woww didn't see that one coming. haha. He also said that people who have had the same experience as i had such as rejection and all that, will come to me for advice and I will be there to help them :)
Overall, retreat was AWESOME! I learned a lot, made new friends and had fun at the same time! I wish we could have been there longer but I guess it had to end some time + we all have school the next day. haha. but because of retreat now I have a new view of life, I'm gonna be more faithful and more on fire for God! :)
