Looking For the Way

Today, I am lost. I don't know if I will get excited or not about listening to different groups discuss the same topic all over again. And the topic is about the reflection of the bible study that we had last meeting. I love to listen in their opinions, but only listening and doing nothing else only make me sleepy which is the thing that I don't get excited about. As the time pass by, I didn't really felt that way. I wonder why? Maybe I just enjoyed the whole time in the class. Let's have a look in the class that I can't miss. =)

Last meeting, we received letters about going to a barangay as our exposure, and we should pass our relpy slips in a week. We also passed our index cards to be used as indentifications. As the class formally started, each groups presented their ideas about the topics in last week's bible study. And ofcourse, each of them presented in every creative way they can think of. The part that strikes me most in the first group's report is that we are little gods since we are created from the likeness of God. That made me really realize that we are all loved by God but we shouldn't forget that we are only "little" and we do not have the same position as Him. I was also entertained by the video that the next group presented since it is animated and it attracts me most. But not just because of the visuals, I also got messages from their video, teaching us how to be strong and that God is always beside us and watches everything we do that He will never leave us alone. The song "Who am I" was presented by our group, and we want to share the message of the song that he sacrificed Himself for us, and He does not judge us for what we've done but because of who we are. The next group left me the message that everyone of us are equal that we are all sons and daughters of Him.

Somehow, I don't like movies that have sad endings, but the last group still made me watch a video that taught me another lesson even though it was a bit sad. It showed an ordinary father and his son. The father really loved his son and the people on the train even though they have different traits - good or bad, the same as for the son. There was a time that the train is in danger and the son saw that, trying to do whatever he can but he fell on the trail. Now, the father will chose if he will sacrifice his son or the people on the train, he can only choose one. In the end, he chose to sacrifice his son for the people in the train to be saved. The father represented God, and the son represented Jesus Christ, whom He sent to save us by sacrificing his own son.

After the presentations, we were oriented about our partner organization and our exposure the next sunday. We are also assigned to interview the family that we will meet on the exposure day. The thing that make me worry is that we would have partners and it would be a surprise! I hope that I get along and know more about with him or her.

It was a really fruitful afternoon as we learned things about God, our Father. The learnings at that day really made me excited to apply what we learned and to share them as we are given a chance to. And finally! I feel that I'm not lost anymore. I can now think of what I feel about the coming activity. Looking forward to the exposure day and to the next meetings. =D
