My days have been so repetitious lately. School, practice or BNP, workout, and sleep. Everything begins all over the next day. God is keeping me busy for the next several weeks though. It’s alright though; there have been some really cool events that I’ve done these past weeks.
First there was Facades. I did a piece titled “Products of Society.” Basically it was a monologue/spoken word and through it I spoke my experiences and my goals with the will of God. I was hoping to inspire some people; Marco spoke to me after the event and on the next day telling me that, “I felt it.” It really made me feel good inside. I am being His instrument to spread His teachings.
PACN is coming up on May 21rst. I’m trying to sell tickets to everybody I know. I was originally a doctor, but now I’m a dude who’s “In the closet” or maybe just unsure of his sexuality. Oh man it’s hilarious! I’m a little skeptical about it, but I get a girlfriend in the end, so no need to worry. Besides, it doesn’t matter what other people think in this world so as long as I have my real friends who really know me and of course God leading my life. I want to run for E-Board next year as Marco’s current position: External Representative. We’ll see how that goes. PACN practices are hard and all day…
I missed this event called Joke Night at Stephanie’s church. I really wanted to go but it was my brother’s birthday so I had to go home and spend time with the family, which is totally fine. But I really wanted to hang out…
JoJo’s dance event called Ultimate Brawl is coming up; everybody is going so I’m going to go too. I’m sure it’s going to be fun. I haven’t hung out with all those kids in awhile so I kind of miss them. I really miss my inner circle as usual though. We need a reunion; the last time was when we went searching for cheesecake…
The BNP has been my time of peace in the week. Tuesdays I go to Ultrea to hear the sharings and basically learn of everybody’s experiences. Apparently I might be going with a girl there to Prom. I’m sure it’s going to be fun; I remember my prom nights. I’ll show her a good time. I go there whenever there is an event just to be refreshed. I wish that I could go there more often though…
By the way, yes, there is a girl I like right now. I always highlight her name in my phonebook but I can’t seem to press the dial button. I can’t help but hesitate to call because I don’t want to say the wrong things or bother her you know? She inspires me to play the piano whenever I have free time. The worst part is that I don’t even know her that well. I wish I could just ask her to lunch or something so that she could get to know me and I could get to know her. Rather than just hanging out during events… I’m hoping to ask her to Banquet even though I know she’s so busy… I’m probably not in her thoughts right now so I doubt if she’s going to read all the way down this blog; I’m not that worried about writing this. I better take a chance… I wonder if she’s busy right now… I’m going to text or call her right now, hopefully she’ll pick up =).
PEACE & Love
This has been the most spiritual enlightening week of my life…
… would you believe me if I told you I was touched by God? Both spiritually and physically? Yes physically... well, actions speak louder than words and hopefully you, all my friends, have been noticing the radical changes in my life…
… and I pray to you my brothers and sisters, that you may find the light to follow your heart to enlightenment; many of you don’t realize that time is running out… our Lord will come back again to cleanse this earth…
… yes I am talking about the end of the world….
… are you ready? I hope you are, but I should tell all of you, I’m praying for the safety of your souls. The only reason why there is sorrow on this Earth is because of sin, and the only reason why there is sin on this Earth is because of us…
… why are we sad? Are you happy WILLFULLY going against the will of God? Do you feel good abusing your body? Do you feel right avoiding blessings by not receiving the sacraments of communion and reconciliation? My friends let me tell you something…
… the devil is beautiful; yes, not ugly, but beautiful. He has taken our hearts and tricked us with temptation and “the easy” ways out of situations. Try your best to avoid and not fall under the trance of his beauty because IT IS SO STRONG, so mind grabbing, and so hurtful in the end…
… my brothers and sisters, are you ready to embrace God? When He asks you the question, “What have you done, in honor of me?” Do you know what you can say? I don’t know guys…
… I love you kids with all my heart. Sometimes, you would have no idea that I even have a relationship with Him. But I tell you, He guides me everyday and He is the reason why I go on. I pray for you; because I am worried…
… please understand, that I am very worried. I shouldn’t be, but sometimes when I sit in the corner doing homework and studying, I observe so many simple actions that go against his will; cursing, drinking excessively, smoking, disrespect…
… I tell you to stop. I always imagine another nail hammered into His son and that he goes through all that pain FOR US. It makes me cry, it makes me weep, it despairs me. This week was for Him and I hope that He was in your mind even for a simple minute for you to do something of His will…
Peace & Love to you, all my brothers and sisters…
So where did I go during this three day weekend? I went on a Church retreat… first off, let me introduce myself the BNP way:
I am your brother in Christ, Brother Jared Falcis. VERY fortunate to have graduated from the Banal Na Pag-Aaral Panawagan Class number 59 held on March 31 to April 2 2006 at the BNP House Of Prayer In Ontario, CA UNDER THE GRACE OF GOD!!
So I thought that this was just going to be another “Confirmation 3 Retreat.” And of course I was wrong. I loved my confirmation 3 retreat, and I definitely loved this retreat. I experienced similar feelings from both but I felt that my overall feeling and strength for God was much more intimate and stronger in this retreat. This was an all boys retreat so there could be no distractions from the main purpose of this retreat; to get to know the BNP and to become closer to God.
Let me tell you. I know some of you are all like, “Oh all boys… how boring.” Well you lost the point of the retreat then. The things that happened at this retreat were LIFE CHANGING! I have NEVER… I’ll repeat NEVER had feelings after a retreat as strong as I do now; not even after the confirmation 3 retreat (though that was a blast!). Oh my God… I just received so many new Brothers in Christ. There ARE people just like me with the same problems and we all shared our experiences. We had MANY rollios, talks, and discussions along with activities. The food was bomb(or so I heard since I gave up meat for lent). But I can’t possibly tell you everything I felt and everything I did this retreat because there just is no way to explain it. REALLY. You have to learn it for yourself. And I want to share these feelings with you and all my friends, so I AM NOT afraid to tell the world about how I felt at this retreat.
The purpose of life is to know, love, and serve God. I know God, I love God, and I am most definitely ready to serve God.
Many thanks go out to my brothers… my new brothers in Christ. We were all ballin’; no need to be ashamed of it. More than once too. During the Calvary and while we spoke to Mahal Na Ingkong. Let’s continue our faith and I hope to see you again soon… Thanks definitely go out to the servers. I met some of my old family members and some new friends. You guys really gave your hearts. Without you guys, this retreat would not have been possible. You’ve inspired me to become a server as well… The Rectors… oh my God you guys are great. Thank you Brother Ace, thank you Brother Nino, thank you Brother Ashley. You’ll never know how much you’ve changed my life. Thanks for everything. I only had a glimpse of what you all had to go through to help me and my brothers. And you know WE LOVE YOU TOO. And we’ll always miss you. I already do! It’s weird!! But cool. You’re my inspirations. Brother Ace man, I’m still waiting for a pick up line battle! Haha. But most of all, I cannot forget to thank Ate Salve. I have never met her personally, but I definitely want to someday. That day will be soon hopefully. Without Ate Salve, none of this would have been possible along with the fact that there would not even be a BNP. So I must thank her for everything. Thank you Ate Salve and may God Bless you even more than he already has! Anyways, I have so much more to say but I have school tomorrow at eight in the morning. Love you guys, you all can always count on me if you ever need help. Just let me know. Peace Out. Don’t forget to say your prayers and give your graces… “Can’t Stop… Won’t stop...”
