Today is the day. The day which I think everyone of us never wanted to come. It’s the last day of Kairos. Tears always win (but not for me). Some Indian delegates needed to go early. We said our goodbyes. Before I went down for the mass, I arranged my things and prepared it for departure. The mass started and was presided by a former CYAer. Words that I can’t forget that time were: “do not be afraid, the Lord said: I will be with you ‘til the end of time”, “never give up”, “always get back to God”, “protect your mission from other priorities that compete”, and “keep wasting for the Lord”. These words served as reminders for me of how God is ever faithful to me despite my unfaithfulness, that He is always there ready to welcome me with open arms, that it’s okay to fail as long as I decide to return to Him and offer my brokenness.
I wasn’t ready for departure yet. I wanted to stay longer but everything really ends. But this time it is not the end, it is only the beginning, the beginning of living the life God wanted us to live, of letting our lights shine to others who needs it. We said our super final goodbyes and we took pictures, exchanged numbers and fb username. We wanna make sure we’re still connected ;)
*****Set a fire down to my soul that I can’t contain, that I can’t control because I want more of You, God! I want more of You, God!
Arise! Shine! For the glory of God has risen on you!
