Wow~

Today is March 29, 2008 9:00am,It is a beautiful day to travel,Young people in Generation hope are gathering together for a special retreat,At first, I think "do I really have to go?" I am not really cool about this,

Well,On the other hand, It is good to explore,To learn new things,To share with people. So I just take up this chance and just be there. There is nothing to lose.Actually, it is nice to go to this retreat.

I meet so many new friendsHere I am in the generation hope usual gathering place in 1st floor,with other brothers and sisters in Christ.

The leader of the group try to organize us into groups of 3 or 4,because of transportation.There are 6 people to drive.So I am in Cody's car with other 4 people.

There are 4 people in his car including himself.memories are fresh,Today I see many people here,and new people.

Special speaker and his wife are among us on this trip.someone come from hong kong and people coming from other places to join the retreat.

The destination is the " Plum Tree Garden".Well, at first, I think maybe is just a big garden.But you know what?it is a beautiful place, It is pretty small but got everything in it.

This is ok, all of us think it is beautiful.The theme song of the retreat is "Your Love"What a beautiful song, that really talks about God's love and Jesus Sacrificial love.This song is really simple but the meaning of the song is so beautiful.

We sing so many times, pondering its meaning.Then the special speaker from Malaysia share with us.What a wonderful speaker.When He speaks Manderin has a Malaysian accent in it.

But I understand what he really is saying in his sermon.He talks about the Book of Job in the Bible.A lot of bad things and trials happened in Job's life,There are a lot of "Why's" are not answer,"No Hope" Sounds like the World really turn against Job,However I know, in the end God really bless Job.

When everything goes smoothly in life,Is that really good?or we are in danger without knowing it.In other words, Something we don't have any idea that we are in danger.We need to be careful, be on guard.The special speaker share a lot of experiences in his life.

In Q&A section,He answers many questions,clear many people's doubts,Food is delicious.After the sermon,We do have a chance to look around.Just like I said " it is a small, beautiful garden but it has everything."

There are a lot of cabins for people to rest,a place for children to play,The place is surrounded by mountains, trees, and fruits.I can see beautiful mountains and

Breathe the Fresh air,Feel the Breeze on my face.as I standing alone,listening quietly I could hear the birds singing, people talking, children playing.

I think in the end of this special retreat, really make many people,I mean many young people willing to recommit ourselves to the Lord.That is the most important thing, To find the seven keys of knowing how to serve the Lord as the special speaker has mentioned.Although I can't remember all the seven keys,But I know my ways of seeing things is quite different than before.

Sometimes we forget that we are God's children. But our Heavenly Father never give up on us.It is good to rekindle the fire in our hearts.Well, it is good to go to a special retreat once in awhile.

When will be the next retreat? next time I will probably bring a friend with me to sign up.

Thank you for listen to my sharing
please have a nice day.
