Blessed in Baguio

Blessed in Baguio

I just came from a mini-retreat in Baguio. After 2,527 days, I came back to the so-called "Most Peaceful City in the Philippines". (at least that's what I saw on the signboard on Kennon Road. ^_^

Baguio Sunrise

Anyway, it was such a blast. I went with my discipler, Kuya Ryan, his sister, Rizza and the other campus missionaries. We had devotionals every night and we brainstormed on how to improve Jzone. It was simply awesome how God answered the little prayers that we asked from parking to sunshine. Everything was so timely that it could have only been orchestrated by Him. *sigh* Yes, God is in the details.

Kuya Ryan: (while driving along Session Road) "O guys, pray for parking."
10 seconds pass
Kuya Ryan: (stops beside an empty parking space and looks at us) "Pwede ba dito?" ^_^

Kuya Ryan: (while sitting at the back of the Starex) "Let's pray na hindi umulan." (we wanted to play mini-golf)

*We get to the mini-golf place with the sun absolutely nowhere in sight and then by the time we get to the 9th hole, we were already taking off our jackets because we were already sweating. After we leave the mini-golf area, it starts to drizzle. o_0

Mini-golf
It was my first time to play mini-golf! L-)

And last but not the least, during our last day we wanted to eat at along Session Road. We just came from the market for our pasalubong shopping and decided to eat this one resto, Sizzling Plate. Knowing how cramped up that stretch can be at night, we prayed for parking again. Guess where we found an empty slot? Hahaha! Right in front of Sizzling Plate!

Only by God's grace! How wonderful to witness Him working in our midst! Praise God! :)
