Has any of you been to this famous retreat? A lot of my friends already did. They have a lot of nice things to say about this event or moment or whatever it is to the point that it scares me... they say it will really move me.

Honestly, I really don't know what I'm venturing in. I'm scraed of what i'll discover. Am I ready to surrender myself to a bunch of people I barely know? Am I ready to admit my weaknesses? Am I ready for the brutal truth that I've been denying myself? Will I be able to swallow the little pride that I have left? Will I see God in a different way after this? Am I worthy of such relationship with Him? Will this retreat heal me?

I guess I'll know the answer after this weekend... Tomorrow afternoon in Ateneo I will seek the unknown. I'll cross the bridge when I get there.

I was suppose to post this thread before this said retreat but unfortunately the server was down at that time.

Well obviously I got through it and I would have to say that the weekend is one of the best experiences I ever had in my life!

As you all know I have a fluctuating relationship with God and little did I know that this retreat would make a big difference. I never thought that I would be moved that way...

I'm a Hyssop batch 10 by the way. Seeing my old schoolmates and not to mention my bestfriend when I was in prep was so heartwarming...

I still have that high from the weekend and I'm just so scared that I might lose it anytime soon. I just hope and pray that I get to live my fourth day with my faith still intact Kuya Jess...

I will have many problems ahead of me, that I know... basta tanggap lang ng tanggap! Basta Ikaw Jess!

never had a chance to attend this kind of retreat in college but my siblings did.

since the retreat involves the family members too...medyo i have an idea how it works...and i got to know kuya jess too

the *high* feeling fades in time but your relationship with jess will stay the same.
trust me on this one.

BIL!

basta ikaw!!

Ateneo High batch 145 here! I remember those good old days when my barkada and I were together for DWTL. Fun memories...

Masaya, masarap, makabag-damdamin.

mabubugbog ka... sa pagmamahal... go for it.

Try this experience. Talagang mabubugbog ka sa pagmamahal ni JESS. Masakit. Malalim ang sugat. Pero, ang mahalaga, masaya dahil alam mong maraming nagmamahal sa'yo.

BIL! xavier dwtl batch 135.

wala nang retreat ang makapapantay sa days.
Basta Ikaw Lord!

Kelan ba toh? Kelan mauulit?

Coz my relationship with him has dwindled and has been receeding...

To think that I'm part of a Catholic community...LNP

I don't know. Am I so bad? I don't like the Church. I've lost my faith in it...i don't know if it is restoreable...


but hell, its not the Church which is important right? What's more important is my relationship with Him... but is it possible to separate the two? The Church and Him???? I don't know.... I'm confused...

I am going through a lot lately. I'm in a point in my life where every problem seems insurmountable, where every pain is unbearable, and where every heartache affects everything I do.

But after going to Days a friend told me... hindi ka naman bibigyan ni Jess ng problema na hindi mo kayang lagpasan eh...

And sometimes the most painful dilemma can be the most rewarding.

Jess brought me to this current life that I am in and I know He has a purpose for all that's happening right now. Everything happens for a reason.

All problems has a solution.

Tanggap lang ng tanggap! I can make it through because I know Jess will always be there.

I can do it!

BIL!

DAYS will always be DAYS, and HE is always there for you. That much I can respect and say about DWTL.

These days aren't the same anymore though. It's one crazy 4th day! Godspeed?
