Victory's within us. :)

I won't be blogging about what victory like victory as in winning. I am just gonna share tonight what I have learned in my first attendance to Victory Los Banos.


What is Victory?


Google led me to its website and the description goes like this:

Victory exists to honor God and establish Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation. Or as we like to put it, we want to simply HONOR GOD and MAKE DISCIPLES.


Again, it was my first time attending Victory earlier. I wasn't culture-shocked because I've been to an organization that focus on our Creator, the Almighty God. It's called Youth For Christ (YFC) which is under CFC (Couples For Christ). I was the YFC president in our highschool. Sad to say, it didn't become active last year. The assigned Highschool Program Volunteer for our school didn't communicate with me and with my co-officers well... I do not blame him though. In fact, it's my self I blame for that. I should have done my best to keep the org active. I did try though, I did try conducting four meetings with the help of my co-officers. Still, we couldn't do it without someone guiding us. Because we, ourselves, knew within us that we weren't ready.


The topic today was about our identity--- our true identity, that is. The one who gave the talk was my group's leader, Ate Lianne. I enjoyed the talk, really. She was funny and she really made sure the listeners weren't bored so during her talk, she said some jokes. No one was bored, I am sure of that. :) When she was delivering the message already at the last part of the talk, I almost cried. I'm sensitive like that. She stated that we shouldn't let others define us, define what we are or who we are, therefore defining our identity, because only our Creator could do so because we are His masterpieces so let us just be us and not let people influence nor change us. Of all the new things I acquired, one statement of hers really struck me so hard. This was is:

Growing old is normal. Growing up is optional.

I surely did learn a lot today... Recently, I've been having these unfathomable thoughts and have been going through obstacles I never once thought I would go through. Attending Victory earlier, I think, was God's way of reviving me and making me realize that I am not alone in this. He was always there for me and He will always be. How could I have forgotten Him? From this day onward, I will show Him how much I truly love Him like how He loves me though I know I would not be able to top that. :)


Thanks for reading. :)


Goodnight!! :)
