I just got back yesterday from Armour Up Camp. It was awesome. I miss the camp already. I miss the people, the vibe and the ambient. At first I was reluctant to join the camp thinking that I got no friends to go with. I know that God had sent me multiple signs to get me going to the camp. He did found me a friend to go with. So, I decided to register for it.
Frankly speaking, this past 2 years I wasn't really connecting to God as much as I did when I was in Lifeteen. I graduated from it 2 years ago. So, after that I didn't join any camp or gathering at church. I wasn't praying much, I didn't care about my spiritual needs. I did and said things that I'm not proud of. I wasn't happy inside. I felt a huge unknown burden. I was too caught up with world things or personal things. I mistreated my mom.
On the 1st day, nothing that interesting happened. Again, still wasn't connecting with God. But something really significant happened on the 2nd day. That afternoon, I really confessed all my wrongdoings and I wanted to be release from it. I burned the paper as a symbol of my sins has been forgiven. I prayed and cried a little coz it was emotional for me. Later that night, we were exposed to the Eucharist. As I prostrating, really focusing, I started talking in foreign/tongue language. I was really surprised. After that, me and my group started to pray over for each other. Andrew was the first to be prayed over and he collapsed. Lonet was next and she also collapsed. Then, I was my turn. I bounced a bit during the session but when I finally released myself, I collapsed. It happened all of a sudden. I didn't hold back a bit. It was a new experience for me as I never experience this kind of things before. I cried myself out. I continued the adoration as I cried. I really felt the presence of Holy Spirit that night and so did others. Some were crying aloud, some were laughing. It was something powerful that we experienced that night. I felt that huge burden has been lifted. I felt 'lighter' and at ease. We ended with praise and worship. Everybody was really energetic during praise and worship. I can feel that everybody was coming together as one voice praising and worshiping God. For those people who thinks that this is lame, may God bless you. xD I ain't kidding here. What I've experienced that night was real, solid, legit. I thanked God for it. Because of him, I found peace. I'm still gonna be me but with new improvements. ^^

A vital book to read.
