Tatak Ko, Tatak Kristo

I am permamently marked by God's Love.

The whole ILC experience, from the 10, 500 delegates down to the Praise Worships, was utterly amazing. God really touched my heart, my soul, the human fibers of my very being.

I admit that I'm not 100% pure. I don't even think of myself as 50% or less pure. I am one of those immoral people who do not put into practice chastity by heart and soul. God, please forgive me for I doubt your love when I feel unworthy, unloved and helpless (from Ate Dana Flores). Ill make the best effort in order for me to change my ways, according to You Will for me, Lord God. I put my whole trust and conviction to You, Father God. Going back, I hate myself whenever I do the "act" again after asking for His mercy and forgiveness. I constantly tell myself not to do "it" again, but here I go every now and then. Ugh. Lord God, I am so sorry. )); I'll try my best to move away from the temptations lurking at every corner in the road ahead. Help me, God.

One of the many things discussed was this statement: Let go, let God. But of course, letting go is very difficult to tell yourself to do. So, Ate Dana said, that we have to tweak this statement a bit. The new one goes like this: LET GOD THEN LET GO. I agree with her. It's somehow easier to let go when you have God helping you go through this process of moving in, through these tests of faith.

God said: "You are worth more than anything to me." I believe Him, and I'll do everything to follow His plans for me.

Another: "Hindi ka man mahal ng mundo, mahal naman kita." True indeed. He made us not to be perfect, instead, He made us in order for us to put into practice perfection. Being perfect and putting into practice perfection are two entirely different things. No one is perfect except God Himself. (:

Lord God, thank You for entrusting me with the mark of Your love. You know I'm not yet ready, but with Your forgiving love and mercy, I'll get through the tests of faith ahead of me.
I can't wait fort another ILC! Err, that's actually my problem. I'm not sure if my parents will permit to attend the next one, which will be held in Cebu. Gah.

Well, I probably have to save the needed money for me to able to pay the expenses for the trip. Yay! ((:

Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.
