Silent Soliloquies: Inked Untouched

"The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out." ~ Leviticus 6:13

To the Campus Taker;

CAMP EXPERIENCE EXCEEDED CAMP EXPECTATIONS

Sharing this to everyone. For those who didn't know, this camp was a camp that was 4 years in the making for me as part of YX Makati. I started in His Life Ministries Makati way back 2016. I was in a different campus back then. I was invited by a friend whom I considered as my sister. It was like I was "persicuted" back then and seeking for purpose.

Moreover, I grew in the church and started serving Him and His Church thru Media. I was supposed to be joining the YX Tribo Camp 2019: Surge in Cebu. But God has other plans, instead of sending me to Cebu, He redirected me to the Campus I am in right now. And I can still remember that was an answered prayer because we were praying for that campus for a long time. I even gave a word, a promise that in the next camp, I will make sure that I will be there representing that same campus. And it happened.

So moving forward, when Pastor mentioned that there would be a camp this year, I didn't claimed it right away. I didn't want to jinx it. In God's grace, I was able to go to Cebu and attend the camp. Camp fees has been a struggle, but with the help of the vision partners and those people who trusted me I was able to complete the fees needed.

I went to Cebu with prayers for God's confirmation and affirmation for what He has planned for me in the Campus and to just receive, receive and receive. I didn't even expect to be running in front every altar call and just cry out and shout what was within me.

Bishop and I had a talk as well during the camp wherein he asked me about the campus. Who can be our Campus Pastor? When he ask me about this question, I couldn't answer straight and mention a name. I have a person in mind but I cannot say it out loud. I didn't know why. Then he said that we'll set a meeting and plan for what was next for the campus. I have doubts still during that time, I was thinking if I will commit fully for the campus or not. But God has His perfect time in laying out His Plans for me.

Confirmation and affirmation that He has given me for the Campus as it was what I am praying for. I have accepted and embraced what he has for me, the same thing that I have been running away from. But what surprised me even more was the call for nations. Yes, I have two countries that I have been praying for to go after a few years but I didn't exactly know which of the two. During the call for nations, when Pastor mentioned fields like med, engineering, IT, etc. I started to close my eyes and prayed again. And when he said other professions, without a doubt, without any hesitations, I ran and made my way in front. That time, I knew where I was going because Father God gave me a glimpse, a sign, specific coordinates of the place that I'll be going to in few years time. You have other plans for me.

Indeed, God's plans are better than our plans.Grabe ka magbigay Father God! May Campus na, May Nations pa! Literal, from the Campus to the Nations!

Receiving an award during the last night was a bonus. Didn't even counted how many encounters I had. All I knew was during that 5 days in the camp, every session, every altar call, I was crying my heart out to the Lord.

A broken soul surrendered to Father God. An amazing soul redeemed thru Christ Jesus.I will surely continue serving the Lord in the means I am capable of. And will keep this fire in my heart burning.

I can't wait for your to experience it as well.
