Retreat Reflection

Last March 4-5, 2011, I had my hit the hay at the Capuchin Retreat Center at Lipa, Batangas. I treated it as a mini or short vacation from my busy and stressful everyday school invigoration. Well, that was my initial nominate on my retreat day until I finally came to the realizations the recollection had offered me during my time at that place. It wasnt just a vacation. It was a time for me to be able to take a break from my usual life and take a shade back to take a look at where I am at the moment and where I want to be in the future.As I am about to finish my college degree with hopefully twain terms left, I take ined that time to know what God intends for me to do as I begin a new chapter in my life professional/work life. The retreat was an eye-opener for me. I got to know myself better through with(predicate) the questions asked by the facilitator. Each of which had different intentions. An example would be the question What is my cacoethes?. This made me think of wha t I would love to do or what I am interested in, disregarding the degree I am victorious and what it is about. Honestly, I am not happy with where I am good now and knowing my passion could help me find another caterpillar tread that I could take because doing what I love to do could or tycoon be the best thing.Another question asked was What is my biggest or most primary(prenominal) question in my life as of the moment? My answer to it was wherefore is there a need for suffering? My reason for which was Im just curious to know why because why do we need to suffer if we can all just be happy kind of. I dont know but my question sounds clich. maybe we are to suffer for us to remember that God is always there for us. We can always find refuge, security and rest in Him.The retreat also reminded me that in everything that I do, do it for the greater glory of the Lord. on that point are times when it is hard for me to be productive with God in my mind cause I get caught up with mundane things. The upshot I was presented during the two days that Ive spent in Batangas was to be in love with Christ. If I put God in the middle(a) of my life then the things that Id do would come natural. Its not forced. I do not need to over essay the situations I am in because I will have direction. I believe that our paths are shown to us and He unfolds His plans to us when we decide to conk some time with Him.
