My Blurty - revisited!

A friend and I got to talk about my blogging history, then ended up reading my really old posts in my blurty. One thing I realized: I'm no longer as godly as before. No, I'm not saying I was genuinely banal or anghel or what, I was just plain godly before - more into prayers, bible reading, and reflecting, and all those stuff - more into things I barely do now. So what happened??! haha! Anyway, I'd like to repost one (I love all of them, they remind me of what I'm capable of! but I'm posting just one...)

Together as ONE
Aug 7, 2004

And so it happened -- the big gathering we planned a long time ago (just a month ago, actually). Every religious org in La Salle was there: Youth for Christ, Servants of the Lord's Vineyard, Student Catholic Action, Spirit of Faith Community and LSPO's Lasallian Animators. It was a success! Everyone of us there had the chance to know our brothers and sisters in other organizations, and realized that there are still a lot of people in DLSU sharing the same faith.

For SOLV, it was really an enlightening event. our small number bothered me at one point, thinking that people must've forgotten to know the importance of knowing Christ... but when i saw the number of people who attended the gathering, i realized that there are still thousands of reasons why we shouldn't stop evangelizing. there are so many people called to serve but sometimes, we see only perhaps hundreds of them... for we are actually assigned by God in different venues. God had to put me in this big gathering in order to realize all of these.

My prof scheduled our physics exam on the same day (Aug.6), so i was not able to attend the mass and the group sharings (and also the pancit and pichipichi. aaw.. mwehehehe). Last night, I felt bad because of that thought, but i realized that serving isn't all about getting what you planted. Instead of fussing over the thought, i felt glad and somehow fulfilled because in all those times we planned (together with each org's representative), i gained friends and insights on how events like this could really make a difference...

I know I once said that I was more appreciative back in college. but when I got to re-read my blurty, my much much older blog than my LJ (blurty = college days still), I realized that the term appreciative isn't enough! Not that I was a so good person, but I can say I was someone better. I dealt with things positively, turned to prayers and discernments almost all the time. haha.

Well, things really change... Now I'm wondering when it all started. My friend's reply: Ask not WHEN you stopped. Ask WHY. yeah, so right! Well... maybe... it doesn't matter at all. For now, I have a lot of reviving to do... hehe.
