&this weeeekeend has come

So this weekend is the Alliance of Filipino Catholic Charismatic Prayer Communites' 15th Conference, AFCCPC weekend has come! I don't know what to expect just yet. But I pray that God has a suprise for me from start to finish. I know it has started with me being sick, of all things and timing. But who am I to judge God? I just pray that my voice,all the voices,instruments,speakers,performers,dynamics,skits and everything goes as He has Planned. Sometimes when things don't go quite our way, God wants us to realize so many things. But I believe it is so we realize that we should Look and Search for Him that much more. There's several occurences that wouldn't have happened unless it was through God. I know I may be speaking so God-like, but it isn't always the case either =( I pray that I start this weekend from start to finish in Search of God. To soften the hardened heart that I've been holding inside of me. It's shown in my face, my emptiness, sadness, miscomfort. Everything. It's in the way I dress, the way I enter a room. The way I come home. The behavior that has been consuming my everyday. My laziness,my sickness. It has begun to spread. I want to be free from captivity. Free of chains and barriers I personally build.

This weekend's theme is Isaiah 61:1 " The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.." I'd like to be complete in the Lord my God. We sing it every other meeting. How we search for God, how we want to be cleansed, healed, forgiven, and free. To be united with our God, family and friends. I pray that I am healed of this sickness, physical,mental,spiritual, and emotional. I pray that everyone who becomes a witness to God's World, draws near. Those who are afraid find comfort and condolence in God Himself.

I know "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE with GOD!"
I want this to repeat itself with a greater power and understanding. three-four years ago:

I felt God in ways that are unexplainable until now. During the three days of this conference, God's Presence was stronger than ever. His Presence was in everyone. He walked through the rooms, the hearts and souls of everyone present. He spoke to us so that all would hear. He made me feel more welcome in His arms, hugging me. He put smiles on our faces and we all knew that He will always be there. He told us that our hard work has finally reached the point where we can rejoice and lift it all up to Him. I felt happiness and peace during the workshops where I lifted all of my burdens up to Him. I felt free and closer each day we praised His name. I received many gifts from God during that weekend. However, one gift really touched me. Receiving the gift of tongues was truly amazing. I felt God talking to me on a whole new level. God told me that I'll be okay and so will everyone be in my prayers. He understood me perfectly and embraced me. He sent the Spirit, and the Spirit reassured me. The Holy Spirit "shaked" out all of my doubts in God. Since then, I am a whole new person who finds God everywhere and in everyone around me.
