It has been incredible

<<< 10/11/2023 This weekend has been incredible for me. I remember going in with zero expectations, but I did have a list of things I wanted to talk about and resolve. I can say I was even nervous about whether on Sunday, when we returned, I would still have those anxieties that worried me so much because I hadn’t managed to solve them. Luckily, on the first day they told us the best thing was to go with the flow because otherwise, I wouldn’t have enjoyed anything at all. So, I left everything in God’s hands, no matter how hard it was for me, and that way, I was able to make the most of every second I was there. And indeed, on Sunday when I was coming back, I had exactly the same fears and anxieties as the day I arrived, but I saw them from a different perspective because I knew God was with me. Another thing that helped me trust and know that God was there was observing the looks towards the tabernacle from all the boys and girls; it really impressed me. I remember thinking: “I wish I could look at you like that too” because no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t understand anything. I wanted to believe, but it was really hard. Until I realized that if most of the people there had such a pure look towards God, it must be because He really is there. On Saturday, I went to bed a little sad because I hadn’t absorbed all the information and, on top of that, I hadn’t managed to reflect much. But on Sunday, everything changed; I had absorbed everything and was very calm. I was able to talk to God about millions of things, even things I hadn’t planned but suddenly came up. Finally, I managed to look at God in the same way, or almost the same way, as the rest of the people, and that made me very happy. Lastly, one of the topics I liked the most was about sacrifices. I was very stressed about a situation happening in my life, and I was hurting myself a lot because I was trying to fix it and handle it all on my own. I didn’t know that the only thing I had to do was sacrifice it and give it to God so He could help me, instead of insisting on doing everything myself. I encourage you that if you have any situation or something that is stressing you out a lot, tell Him and give it to Him because that is surely the best option. Make the most of every second and every minute of this retreat because, without realizing it, it can help you a lot. >>>
