REV UP
"behold, I make all things new" rev 21:5

Last october 28-29, 2006 I've been in Colegio de San Juan de Letran
Calamba, Laguna for the Youth for Christ Metro Manila Conference. Together
with my brothers and sisters in YFC we enjoyed the fun-filled activities- the
sportsfest, creative competitions, kite flying, GK miniatures, talks/sessions,
bondings and others.... and just as my bolg is entitled driven, the theme for this
year's metrocon is REV_UP.

We joined the Gawad Kalinga miniature competition which we had the model
built up for a week, the cramming of course on the last day made us (the model
makers) sleepless during the 28th. I even had a headache after I and Rhio(
kasama ko mag-explain ng GK model) defended our work to (architect)
judges, yeah, it was almost like a deliberation but just more fun. hehe. and so i
got to the clinic for minutes and gave they me a medicine with the med team na
todo support and boost up ng energy hehe (sino ba yun? si kuya Ivan.. at
talagang nahulaan niyang taga-UST ako.. haha). ayun well after naman nun
God really is so good, He let me enjoy the rest of the night by keeping me up
kahit na sobrang we had no sleep.

The talk was also nourishing. nakakatouch yung mga nag-share. and the praise
and worship... grabe astig!!!! i really come teary-eyed nung kinanta yung
'forever'.

GLORY ROAD
hmmm. We were asked to make stop during this session. well yeah most of the
time we are speeding up our cars, our life. and we didn't even had the time to
stop at good or even bad things. we have no time time to thank God for
everything He does for us. and being in YFC i am so thankful He got me a real
life. so blessed. a youth fuelled with mission.

OFF TRACK
for the car to make a pitsop in a race means to have it fixed up and make it last
longer with high endurance. sometimes in our life, we need to make a pitsop.
especially if we're running OFF TRACK:

zero visibility - the times when we choose to go on despite the rain, the fog and
all those things that make your way vague. unaware to choose the right thing.

running flat - keeping our engine up and running our wheels even if its alrady
flat. in our life we still hook up with the old stuffs- our old bad ways which needs
to be renewed. our pride, doubts, unrighteousness and unforgiveness hinders
us to chage for the better.

taking shortcuts - keeping our own way. all the time it's better to have God lead
us and ask for his guidance. shortcuts sometimes don't make you learn the
realities of life.

REV UP
step on the gas, revolutionize, speed up - to increase or to give more to what
you already have. become: bearers of good news, agents of hope and
instruments of love.


Flying Finish : we will drive in full speed, we will have a fying finish because that
is what God wants from us, because what we were made for : REALITY OF
HOPE and JOY IN LOVE.
