It's hard to have no internet connection, can't update regularly. Anyway, I just want to share that this day was just very tiring but very rewarding too! I just have had one of the best days I ever had.
In the morning I participated to the project of GK(Gawad Kalinga), of building houses for the needy. We had human chain passing the hollow blocks, gravels, sands and everything needed for building houses. I had worked with these kinds of things way back when I was small, helping our house to be built, but it's different to build someone's houses with friends. The experience was very enriching and fun, though it's sure very tiring, but when you see the smiles in the faces of the children and people you are helping building their houses with, your tiredness will be reciprocated with joy! It's hard to explain, all I can say is that it's rewarding serving others, especially the needy. I planned to join the building event in the morning only because I have to attend the World Conference of Christians (the EN07) in Araneta by 2:00 in the afternoon. But my friends requested me to stay a little bit longer for the building event will close by 3:00pm, and a program will follow. So I stayed, (because, anyway, the EN07 has two scheds 2-4, and 6-9, i decided to go for the 6-9 sched, but I can I attend both if I choose) and continued working with them. By 5pm I left the GK to go to Araneta (actually thinking about the freebie of the event, that is a pillow, they said that it's a gift for the Green Section, that was the group of people sitting in the uppermost bleachers of the coliseum, and I belong with them for I registered late, haha!!) a good thing that I still got a pillow! haha! I'm blessed, this is my remembrance! Woohoo!!
Anyway, inside the coliseum were the gathering of my brothers and sisters for Christ, from 44 countries, from different provinces in the Philippines. This was the 2nd day of the EN07 event, it's a 3 day event starting from 20 to 23 of July, and tomorrow will be the last day of the event. I have never saw that kind of crowd before, it's almost crazy, outrageous. The presentation were superb, the preachings were great! But what I love the most is the worship part, especially when all of us shouted for several minutes!! It supposed to be just 60 secs, but it happened to be several minutes long, it will not stop if the speaker did not spoke and started the worship songs. It was so wonderful!! I felt that I have endless source of energy in me (even though i came from a tiring work). Jodi and Karlo were in the Grey section, in the very bottom of the coliseum, too bad that we haven't met yet through the 2 days of the event, I'm looking forward to see them tomorrow! (But we are texting each other time to time) The good thing with that was I met new friends! and that was great!
I'm looking forward for tomorrow, can't wait! But I feel tired now. Haha, I want to sleep now.
