Tommorrow I will be on a road trip to Batangas. I have an invitation at CCF Batangas for their youth camp.
I'm really excited, it's my first time to travel south, ALONE. Usually, my batangas trips are with my esbi friends for our summer retreats or with my officemates for technical service at URC batangas.
But tommorrow will be different...I'll be on my own. Yeahh!! I hope I'll not get lost, or have a freak seatmate at the bus or miss the landmarks.
It'll be exciting, first time to go to that place, new people to meet...and I get to share the gospel to the young people. Isn't that the best way to spend the holy week!
Tonight, I'll be preparing the things I need. The preacher in the church two weeks ago said that missionaries should travel light...and should have agood back. Well, I don't have a problem with the 'good back' part..I can sleep anywhere, as long as I have something to cover my face, I can sleep.
My problem is traveling light. I usually bring alot of clothes whenever I travel. You know that mindset when packing..."I would probably need this when I'm there"...so my bag would usually contain twice as much clothes that I need.
But I would really try to pack light tonight and practice what I learned from the pastor. (If I really want to be a missionary..someday.hehe=))

Abundance of heart...that's one thing that I will share on thursday.
The camp theme is 'Closer Relationship with God'. when I was praying and asking God what to share, he gave me the story of the Alabaster Jar.
And this is my favorite part of my outline ...
Jesus did not raise the question about how much Eros and how much agape, how much human passion and how much understanding was motivating the woman; He saw the abundant heart and He accepted it without analyzing the different elements in it...
That is my prayer...that I will always have an abundant heart for my Jesus.=)
Pray for me, that I would be able to deliver the message well and it will be planted on fertile hearts.=0
Godbless and Happy Holy Week!
