i am weak.
the flesh is weak.
i tripped.
not good.
i'm sorry.
but this is an answered prayer.
i don't care anymore.
i know i'm in good hands.
thank you,god. you really love me.

the 20th hour
june 20 turned out to be a very extraordinarily special day for me. for one, i got to know one of my sfc facilitators better. we had a one-on-one before our so-called "baptism" later that night. we discussed my concerns and special intentions i wanted to pray for during the baptism. and of course a little chikahan on the side.
after the baptism, the speaker asked for vokunteers who will share their experiences. one sharing that struck, i guess not only me but everyone, was this sister who admitted she has cancer and already in stage 3. her faith was remarkable as she just lifted everything to god. she's lucky she found her support group in sfc. in that light,we vowed to pray for her every 20th hour. the support of the entire sfc community is just amazing that everyone was reminding each one to pray for her. our team leader even made a special prayer for this intension. i also promised myself to pray for her, and my dad as well.
so after the sharing came the worship. the songs sung loudly and proudly,it gave me goosebumps. okay, okay, it made me cry. i've never heard a group sang this lively. grabe ang galing!
so the entire session ended at 1am. since one of our groupmates will be celebrating his birthday on june 22, he invited us to have late dinner after that. it didn't end there though, we looked for a coffe shop that's open for 24 hours. luckily, we found one in valero. we sipped coffee til 5:00 am. it was fun on our way home coz joe drove us girls home. mind you, there are those who live in the south and far up north in rizal. he didn't mind if he hadn't had sleep,he just couldn't bear the thought that we'd be going home alone. aww,he's such an angel!
so there. that made my june 20th. the 20th hour. and my new-found friendships =)
god is good.
