Retreat Experience

Nowadays, teenagers in our generation are walking away from God. I keep on asking myself, "Why is this happening?" Maybe they experienced a lot of problems that they start thinking, "God doesn't care about me." The keep on asking "Why? God? Why?"


In our generation, we experience a lot of sufferings. Behind everyone's smiles are pain and sorrow. They lack the love that they deserve, that's why they go into a relationship to experience and feel complete.


What I've really learned and what really struck my life and beliefs is that God never really left. He was always there all along. We just thought that whenever we go through a problem, he's making us suffer. But no, He is always there. That' why in everything that we do, we should offer it all to Him.


I realized that I was very lucky. I really felt blessed. Yes, I was really sad. My classmate's stories really touched my heart. But there's just one thing that really made me more thankful; I was still blessed after all. I never experienced all their hardship, and I know that God will take care of me. He will never leave me, and neither anyone of us.


The retreat that happened last September 18, 2013 was a great experience to open up with God. They made us remember that Jesus died on the cross just to save us because He wants us to feel His love. God make me feel that everything has its own purpose in life.
