Wow...what an opening week of 2010 for me!! I went for recollection in sandakan at retreat centre, mile 26. I went there with brother david(soon father david), rikkie and yusvina. At 1st, we were mad coz once we arrive there, the organizing committee hasn't arrive yet!! we were tired, hungry, and took half day leave just 2 be there! But luckily the purpose of this recollection is 2 be humble, patient and accept each other, we remain 2 keep silence and forget evrything. It's just a small mistake, evryone does it!!
We were appointed as the DIOCESAN YOUTH APOSTOLATE. I never thought of being part of this diocesan group, and more responsible for me 2 carry the cross dat my heavenly father gave me. This was my 1st recollection i have ever join since been in the youth team for nearly 2 years. I asked myself, why this isn't done back in lahad datu?? No wonder, i nearly fall apart and quit from serving in youth. we have never had this recollection in the past 2 years, and our team really had fallen apart and getting worst by accusing 1 another and even hate each other.
During this 2 nights of experience in sandakan, we were able to know ourselves, relationship with GOD, and each other. There are 4 parish in sandakan diocese, telupid, tawau, lahad datu and sandakan. there are 12 of us, just like in the bible, 12 disciples. hehehe.... we get 2 know each other, sharings, and b open our hearts 2 welcome all of them as our brothers and sisters / 1 family in DYA. oh...how happy i am, more frens, more activities and more outings...ahahaha
We laugh and talk, and get to know more of each other. It was so beautiful how GOD really present during our recollection, in this joyful moment. I just don't want this memory 2 slip away. But, in the future we might not know. So, be grateful and cherish dat we are still a 1 big happy family!!
Then, lastly during the meetings, i was appointed 2 become secretary DYA. I was speechless, and didn't reject at all. I accepted it with open heart. and that's mean, i need to learn more about secretary work, not just write down the minutes, typing, but there's a lot 2 learn 2 become a better secretary.
I really felt the blessings that HE had gave me. And HE really show me the way, and i walked according to HIS will. I believe that HE had prepared me a way that i have 2 follow and in the same time there will be a lot of challenges throughout my life. I hope and pray that I will not give up, forget HIM and accuse HIM for the trials that HE had prepared for me!! No matter, in realtionship, family, frens, work and more important, SERVE THE LORD. I hope i can cope up and do the best....AMEN!!
