This Lenten season, I felt the works of God happen to me. The beautiful way of its beginning with the flight to LAX for LA Congress was just a simple glimpse of what was ahead of me. I began the journey with the ministry that would re-strengthen my faith in Him, and that was an experience in and of itself. The people I saw, met, and heard during the four-day weekend was heart-opening. I thank and praise God for that. My 40 days of sacrifice was nothing in comparison to what Jesus had done for me, personally. Without Him, I am nothing. As the season rolled on, I am reminded of what I have learned of my personal past dating all the way back to 2000+ years ago. For God so loved the world, He gave us His only son. That alone gives me the overwhelming feeling that someone loved me before He could even meet me. It's an amazing love.
On Friday, the CORE team put together an activity for the youth to experience and feel the Lord's sacrifice. Though not everyone was ready for it, the result gave all of us the affirmation and satisfaction that we are doing right. When we did the activity amongst ourselves, we realized its impact and intensity. We would never understand unless we've been through it ourselves, truth. And so as this Lenten season ends, I want to share that I have renewed my vows with the Lord, and a healthier heart resides in me. A beautiful Easter Sunday it was, Praise You Jesus. Alleluia, Alleluia!
