a blueberry girl's journey..: NC5

0200H 04.24.05

I can’t sleep! (That’s not odd in my case) and as I sat down and faced my computer the echoes of the laughter we had earlier is still there.

What a blessed night!

(my central nervous system is not yet depressed so I go on typing)

click! Tik! Whoosh! Tak! Clack!....

…I can’t help but reminisce the first night I entered the mission house and after that night it was followed by another 13 magnificent nights and when I graduated Singles for Christ it was then followed by a lot more activities such as conferences, cozy nights, assemblies, households and even better two more batches of Christian Life Program. Perhaps the latter is one of the most important events since this is the opportunity to have more brothers and sisters in Christ.

Hours, days, months and even years have passed since the first Batch of Crossover. I could hardly believe many of us have different lives now, but one thing is for sure we missed each other’s company.

What happened last night was the chance we had to once again muse over what we had in the past. I may say that we had been victorious!

Videoke night. Cool theme huh!( with Jonie, Angel and Arvin as the Masters of Ceremonies) . But more than just singing together, everyone had so much fun telling stories and catching up into each other’s lives. Good thing that we started and ended with prayer. God blessed the entire gathering. From the great pica foods to the hospitality of the Hipol Family (who by the way risk their live because we have disturbed their neighbors that evening…let’s just say that the sound waves we produced thumped their ears) to the performance and the “boat is sinking game” …the whole thing was superb! Faces who were missed by the chapter was also there.. talk about Mike,Mico,Deck,Ezra,Ej, and a lot more brothers who swept the floor with their “knocking of our feet” voices and actions, of course with the veterans..(nahh..you know what I mean..) while the sisters wasn’t left behind with their vivacious singing talents too. Brother and Sister of the night was Mike and Chris respectively while Mico bagged the Earliest bird award (that’s a tough one)

No invited speakers, less of the functional stuffs and with a touch of the pastoral side of SFC. Just a night of reminiscing what we have already have and what is in store for our chapter in the future.

As a brother has commented, there is always something on the first of the first. Perhaps the magic microphone, or the great food, or even the barangay patrol who almost raid the house…. I leave the rest to those who were there…. the Videoke night is not over yet….a lot more like this will eventually take place soon.

Time passes. Sun shifts and shadow departs. Whatever may come our way, we will stay as one community in Solidarity in Jesus Christ.

(zZZZZ…..now we are talking bout sleep!)
