Can You Feel The Magic?

GREETINGS FROM THE YOUTH MUSIC TEAM! (which I'm not part of because technically I'm not part of the youth anymore, but who cares, right? XD)
Last Saturday and Sunday, I wasn't home. I was in Ciudad Christia having the time of my life AKA I WAS IN VICTORY-QC'S WORSHIP CAMP! 8D WOOHOO!

There were three things I learned from the Worship Camp:

1. God chose me.

This is very personal for me because 1.) I tend to underestimate myself most of the time and 2.) Sometimes I feel like I’m really not good enough to do the things I am doing. Being in the Music team and even in the fields that we’re in now isn’t something that we choose, but something that God chooses for us. Calling, to put it in a word. And when God calls you to be something, He gives you the grace to do it. Aside from that, He wouldn’t call you to do something you can’t actually do because God knows what we can and cannot perform. It’s more of a reassurance on my part knowing that I’m in the Music team because God chose me to be in the Music team. :)

2. I have to be emptied to be filled up again.

God showed me a picture of a glass of water that’s overflowing with water. It wasn’t overflow, but Him saying that in order for Him to fill me up to the brim again, I have to be emptied. Kumbaga sa tubig, useless ang bagong buhos na tubig kung puno pa ang balde kasi tatapon lang din ang tubig. It’s the same thing with God, filling us up again. If there is no space for Him to fill up, how can He pour out more?

I’ve been praying for God to break me if it means having to know Him better and I can feel that, that season is starting. I know that being emptied means having to go through tough times, a lot of pruning and disciplining, and to endure pain, but what God has in store for me is better than comfort that the world can offer. It’s going to be rough, but just like what those who prophesied told me, God will always be with me.

So Lord, here’s my empty cup. I’m willing to receive all the water You’ll be pouring to refresh me.

3. Dive deep. Really, really deep.

You know how just the vast, panoramic view of the sea astounds us? Actually, the most astounding part of the sea is underneath the transparent blanket; the coral reefs, the schools of fish, and other marine lifeforms. Walking with God is just like that. You have to swim deep to know the heart of God; how He feels and how He sees you and the others as well. I admit that I am scared of really knowing God in a more intimate level (because I might see things I don’t want to see and know haha), but my fear of being unable to understand most things must and will not stop me from diving deep into God’s heart. Yesterday, I really believe that I have dived deep enough. :)

I'm super thankful for experiencing this kind of camp (ganun ka-intense kasi super na thankful). Marami akong natutunan at marami rin sa aking pinaalala si Lord dahil sa current situation ko (spiritually speaking). And I'm super blessed to have the Music team as... well, teammates. :D I love team 3 and I love my Music team family! >:D< And nice to meet you, Victory-Fairview (internal rhyme FTW!)! :D

And though I'm fully aware that growing up in my walk with God entails me to experience tough times, I am excited to grow more as a worshiper and a leader. Yay! :D

Isa lang ang masasabi ko after the camp: MORE! :D

And guys, Noel is such a winner.

Ella: O sige, sige, seryosong usapan na tayo.
Noel: Ella, seryoso na 'ko... seryoso na 'ko sa 'yo.

But I still think Mico is awesome. :)
