grabe. sobrang nakaka-bless. i can't even begin to describe the feeling, the insights, the bond, the experience and the unity.

grabe din talaga ang grace ni Lord. after about a month of asking (or begging) for my father's permission, one faithful thursday just came and my father just told me that he'll be giving me this amount for payment, this amount for baon and planned on how i would be able to arrive in UP around 7 in the morning. i can't believe my ears that after a day, i think, i asked my father, "daddy, di ba pinayagan mo na ko sa retreat?" while talking with someone on the phone. it was truly God's grace.

after trekking up the approximately 124-step stair up to our cabin (which was the highest located structure on the area); laughing our lungs out during meal times; swimming in "sync"; running the (amazing) race; sharing one big pack (or box) of toblerone; ridding our sink of the black ants; playing with the cats; washing the dishes while the water keeps giving up on us; spending our quiet times alone; listening to the word; crying our concers to the Lord; and praying as one, i know i'll (and we'll) never be the same again.

unity.
