“Wonderful Retreat”

“Wonderful Retreat”

           That was the time of meditation, reconciliation and of course relaxation from school activities such as: project and others. For me it was really a big opportunity because   not all the colleges/ schools have this kind of spiritual activity especially for the graduating students. I really treasured my retreat brought by the ambiance, speaker, food and the accommodation from the sisters there, and of course most especially was the teaching/ every session that Fr. Ariel Garcia (Aying) gave to us.

           It was really nice since Fr. Aying gave a lot of realization towards good outlook in life. He keeps on telling that I have to look at the bright side of the things. That was the time also  that I really realized that every struggle or every failure I encountered in life, there’s always a purpose in there, aside from that it’s up to me to play the rule or to react in such kind of situation. After the morning session, I learned from the speaker that though there are times that I might experience negative event in life, that I did not even expect, just bear in mind that, it’s always a Gods will and God would always attain the better for me.

           During my first reflection activity, I really find a hard time to walk alone and not to talk because I usually have a conversation with my classmates. By that moment, I refused to approach them, even on asking a question because, it seems that most of them really had their individual reflection. That was the time I saw that most of my classmates were very serious and I’m so happy for seeing them like that. When I reflected seriously, I discover and felt that God really works in me. I’m so thankful that God is so good to me. He gave me more blessings and experiences whether good or bad. He gave those bad, for me to learn and realized and He gave the good just to banish the bad feelings in me. How gracious God is? So much gracious.

           One of my favorite parts of the retreat also was the sharing. I really like it so much because each of us was given a chance to talk and to share of what are those very nice and touching experiences that God has given to us. I myself really realized that, the blessings and gift of God to me is not really countable. I’m so glad for having that retreat if not because of it; I can no longer know me better. Aside from that, I would not fully knows on how to appreciate things in life and most especially I would not know how to become a good example to my future students since I choose the career of teaching.
