Without question, it was an amazing time. He is close. I was lookg forward so much to being alone with Him for a long long time, just conversing with Him about stuff. =)

My Bible and Prayer Diary ~The Necessities! =)
Day 01/01/2009
I had a late new year eve BUT, i look forward to not sleep in the next morning and spend time w God. I am soooo excited. I went out to Naked Fish Shoppe (a restaurant) to settle some party matters. Then, i started my retreat there with the very favor of God. The manager of the restaurant blesses me with two expensive cocktail drink. (I seriously don't know why) Thank God for His favor and assurance that He is with me. I sat there praying and reading His Word. It was really good because He impressed upon my heart to give Him the best and first fruits for the year. I mediated on the thought "What are the areas I could give Him my best and first fruits?"
I reached my actual retreat chalet @ a super-pretty place. I forgot the actual name but it's was really a blessing! =) Imagine my excitment! I spent the rest of the evening just talking to God about some stuff. I don't really know how to describe the details but I felt the peace of God throughout. There is no big bang experience w Him but just being with Him, close to Him is really good enough for me.

The pretty place I am in. Have to take a pic for memory =)

Spot my breakfast? Heez.
Day 02 02/01/2009I spent my morning in reading His word and cycling at the beach. It was great weather =) thank God. I was alittle frustrated w Him that day, bringing some questions and confusion to Him once more..it was some question marks in the past. God is very very gracious to answer my confusion awhile later. I am very grateful.

Pretty pretty view?=)

Finally! My retreat partner..thank God for her!
God has allowed open discussion with me on an aspect of my life. I am really happy about that. Wells. I don't know how to explain further how I had that impression but I knew that We were b more conversations =)
Dear God,
I look forward to talk to You every time. You are so amazing and I like to listen to You too. Sometimes, I wouldn't be able to understand Your ways and thoughts but I am assured that You are always with me and has seen me in Your Son, Jesus. I have found favor in Your eyes even though I don't deserve anything. Thank You, Lord.
We can never doubt the goodness of God.
Amen?
