Liwanag Core 1-Day retreat

Current song of the moment: Lift Up Your Hands By God



Current Quote of the Day: "Being ruined for life, cuz im addicted to serving" ---Brentz and "What is your LOGstory?" ---Angie Amador

Just a real quick blog, the LOG core 1 day retreat was freaking bomb. I luved it sooo much. I really believe it gave me that push, it was just what i needed to feel more confident about the year. I really do feel spiritually recharged and more passionate about serving than ever. I feel like me and my LOG core can take on any obstacle thrown at us rite now and i am truly excited for this upcoming year.

Just real quick, if you are a LOG alumni reading this, Thanks You soooooo much. yesterday was just amazing. I know Angie worked really hard preparing and having everyone collaborate together to makes things go so great yesterday. and all the alums did an excellent job with all their parts with all their talks and advice and wisdom. Everything was top notch. I also felt like i really needed to go to confession yesterday too. it was well worth it. do i feel closer to God? Yes. i most definitely do. But of course, there is always more room for imporvement.

Just a few ending notes: Gerard Anacleto(the founder of Liwanag, his presence yesterday alone shows how supportive and dedicated he is to this youth ministry and also made me feel important the retreat was yesterday and very much affected the overall attitude of the retreat.) wrote a small prayer for me. And what he wrote down really made my day. He said "Somehow, i had no doubt that you would one day be one of the Liwanag core leaders. It was evident from the beginning the love and dedication you have for service..." the founder himself wrote that! for me. i was really overjoyed that he affirmed me and said that to me. i was also truly moved at what my other brothers and sisters in Christ wrote for me. There is also one other line that really sticks out to me. He wrote down "you have the heart of a champion and the soul of a child." I was also very moved by that affirmation. Just... Thank you so much Julian for that statement.

In short, to all the alumni, i hope i can one day, pay it forward to all you guys for what you have done of Liwanag, the precedence you have set for us, and the impact/mark you have left on me. I cannot thank you all enough. I'll most definitely keep you in my prayers always.
