find me a finder

friend carlito might hate me for including yet another 'food' post here, but it cannot be helped, haha. sorry 'bout that. i know how you hate food pix - especially if they look like worms/snakes XP

today we had our workers' retreat at the rfm auditorium. bro chito jongco served as the retreat master.. and all i can say is.. "wow" and "ouch" XP

the talks (four of them in all) dealt with 'heavy' topics really meant for workers in the community. the first one was titled 'a goal greater than anything else', and it talked about how giving glory to god should be the primary goal of any servant. the second, 'wise & foolish builders', discussed the basis of our faith and how to make use of our talents and blessings. the next talk, titled 'the greatest need' explained why evangelization is important, and how workers should minister to others. finally, bro chito ended the retreat by explaining 'how to overcome fear' in its many aspects (certainly a must for every christian servant).

the whole-day seminar was very enlightening; but as bro chito said, a lot of the things mentioned in the retreat were stuff that none of us wanted to hear. the talks were inspiring.. but nevertheless convicting. in fact, i intentionally forced myself to multi-task, if only to 'soften' the blow of some of the things he said. i'm not proud of it.. but bro chito mentioned a lot of things that i know i am guilty of.. and i'm not yet ready to face. hence the hiding.

so. about the 'food post'.. i guess i could say that today's retreat was definitely (spiritually) filling. but it's costly, too. and in a way, i suppose that's why it leaves me feeling satisfied..

*sigh* i still feel a bit lost, however. and though i know i've been found.. i just couldn't help but wish that i had my own 'finder'..
.. just in case i lose you again..
