I wanted to stay at home, continue sleeping and maybe after eating my hapunan (dinner), will watch a movie but then I found myself preparing for the Kadiwa night. I choosed a comfy pink dress, then put a thin lipstick, hairpin my hair, powder on checks, and viola, am ready to go!
the event is called the Kadiwa night.
Who are the Kadiwa? They are the 18 and above people who are not yet married. in other words, all the single brethren, regardless if they are in a relationship or really "single".
As i gaze at the place, i can see excited faces from all groups. and indeed, everyone's wearing that greetings smile. that's one.
When the performers start to jig, we are all having fun. its really what you call fun, when what entertained everyone are lovely to the eyes and touching to the heart. that's two.
No one's really out. maybe, besides being at the same age group, there is this familiar feeling that even we did not really know names of each other, we are sure, everyone's our friend. no exceptions. that's three.
the vents was fairly organized. thanks so much to the district staff and leaders of each Locale.
I had just mentioned three things i observed about this christian gathering that make it different from the events i had attended in my college years, acquaintance party, etc.
earlier that morning, a Tanging Pagtitipon was held officiated by the Ka Sandoval. it was really a blessing. listening to God's advice to youth, i was moved and touched by His love. He reminded everyone of us that we should trust everything to him and never boast on our own self. of course, self confidence is important but it is also important to lay to him our plans and then he can guide us for that dreams. We should never lean on earthly treasures and wordly knowledge. we should also choose our friends and never marry someone outside the church. He reminded that if a youth live his life fulfilling his duties in church wholeheartedly, living life through His words and trusting everything to the Lord, that youth will received God's grace and understanding from people in all the day of his life.
