There is always a sunday after friday... it's like there's always sunshine after the rain. In my 27 years of being alive on earth, I have never ever realized that it's the thing with challenges, there is always hope after all.

I love attending retreats because it refreshes my relationship with God and the people around me.. most especially with my family. I also ask for something special from God.. One of the important things I learned from the retreat this year and taken from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and it says "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven"

I realized why God gave me this kind of patience, there were times back then that I asked God why I have this kind of patience, I didn't even defend myself when I am put on the spot. Hence, because of God's wisdom I learned to prolong my understanding to those who were blinded by pride.

Now I know why I am overly patient.. I thank God for giving me that gift. I can even apply it to my work and relationships. To end this reflection on a Black Saturday, let me leave you with another Gods gift... from Philippians 4:7 "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" -- There's always hope..

Christ's death must come to redeem us from sins on his resurrection on Sunday!

A blessed holy week to all of you.. God's grace are with us all the time.

*Thank you to the preachers and organizers of the Light and Jesus Community. You are indeed God's gift to mankind...
