Retreat Reflection

Last March 4-5, 2011, I had my sack out at the Capuchin exact Center at Lipa, Batangas. I treat it as a mini or short vacation from my busy and nerve-racking everyday school spirit. Well, that was my initial sign on my retreat day until I finally came to the realizations the recollection had offered me during my cadence there. It wasnt fair a vacation. It was a time for me to be able to engineer a break from my usual life and take a step back to take a look at where I am at the moment and where I want to be in the future.As I am about to halt my college degree with hopefully two terms left, I needed that time to manage what God intends for me to do as I begin a new chapter in my life professional/work life. The retreat was an eye-opener for me. I got to know myself better through the questions asked by the facilitator. Each of which had different intentions. An event would be the question What is my passion?. This do me think of what I would know to do or what I am i nte persisted in, disregarding the degree I am taking and what it is about. Honestly, I am non prosperous with where I am remedy now and knowing my passion could assist me find another path that I could take because doing what I love to do could or might be the top hat thing.Another question asked was What is my biggest or or so important question in my life as of the moment? My answer to it was wherefore is there a need for harm? My reason for which was Im just curious to know why because why do we need to suffer if we net all just be happy instead. I dont know but my question sounds clich. perhaps we argon to suffer for us to hark back that God is always there for us. We butt joint always find refuge, security and rest in Him.The retreat also reminded me that in everything that I do, do it for the greater air of the Lord. There are times when it is dangerous for me to be productive with God in my mind cause I witness caught up with mundane things. The solution I was presented during the two days that Ive spend in Batangas was to be in love with Christ. If I put God in the center of my life then the things that Id do would come natural. Its not forced. I do not need to over analyze the situations I am in because I pull up stakes have direction. I believe that our paths are shown to us and He unfolds His plans to us when we try to spend some time with Him.
