Dear No One In Particular,
The Lord has abundantly blessed me and has truly revealed Himself to me when I faithfully

The Lord has abundantly blessed me and has truly revealed Himself to me when I faithfully
said "YES" to Him when I went to Surrey Two's Camp EXALTED. I am still in somewhat shock
to where I am in my life right now, because honestly, time flies by so fast. (Still in shock I'm in CFC-YOUTH already, because I waited 2 years to join). Throwback to last year when I wasn't in CFC-YOUTH yet, though the Lord was calling me to Him (Jeremiah 29:13).
Do you ever have those moments when you're so overwhelmed by the joy of the Lord that you just start squealing and cannot control your emotions at all? It's such an overpowering but amazing feeling. Sometimes I wish I could just say "Lord, please slow down time and let me enjoy more things for much longer" but then again, another part of me learns to accept it and value all I've experienced so far.
I've learned to appreciate so many things for what they are, way more than I used to; and I'm so eternally grateful to our Gracious God. From growing more outgoing, I've developed so many
life-giving friendships and some of the people I've met and have grown close to, radiate Christ
so much! The community brings such a huge smile to my face and just the thought of Christ's love for us, makes me ecstatic! A little boy in the P.R.E.P class I'm assisting.taught me the definition of
the word "providence" which is God's love and protection over all things and creation. We
must keep the Lord in mind always, and make everything Christ Centered. I can't hide who I am or
be ashamed in my morals but rather, evangelize and proclaim the love of the Lord. Actually one time this week, in a class, I was in a discussion among-st some classmates and after I said something, they all just took a moment and stared at me and said "that was very hardcore catholic of you to say". I was taken aback but I knew it was the Lord speaking through me so I didn't feel any sorry or regret. There are times where I doubt in myself don't get me wrong, I'm no way perfect and I sin, but I always need to know that my choices should reflect upon the greater direction toward my journey of God's Will.At True North Conference 2014 there was this thing called "My Hope In 20" and part of it (I won't say the other part of what I wrote, for it's in God's hands. hehe) I wrote "to serve the Music Ministry". And my dear friends that "hope" came true when I got to serve the music ministry at a Post Confirmation Retreat as well as a Collective Household, Our God is so good and now being apart of Surrey Two's Music Ministry is like a hope come true. (See what I did there?)
September was such a busy month in itself but then again, it was as if I had never left the school life.
It's only the 2nd month of a new school year and I'm eager to know what God has in store for me next. May I learn to trust in Him with all of my heart always as well as you too!
Pray for me, whoever you are, and I will pray for you too.
PSALM 28:7
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him."
Sincerely yours, Patricia.
