Prayer and Life Workshop (PLW) - My Very Own Testimony

It has been 10 months now since my retrenchment.  I haven't updated this blog for several months now, since I was too preoccupied with lots activities.  I felt so blessed during those months since I learned a lot of new things.  I believe that in order to become truly successful, I have to be successful in all areas of life - physically, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually and financially.  With God's grace, I was able to meet new mentors in my life.  I now have a mentor in  all areas of my life.  I have a mentor for my health, another mentor for my spiritual growth, another one for my finances,  another for my emotional growth, and one for my intellectual growth. Just like our very own Manny Pacquiao, he also has a mentor.  If we want to become a champion, we must also be mentored by mentors.  By the way, he just won in today's fight with Antonio Margarito.  Another reason for us Filipinos to be proud on our country.  But what about the rest of us?  Are we contented in watching others win?  Don't we want to become champions ourselves?  Right now, I am  planting seeds in all areas of my life, with the aid of my mentors.  I believe that these seeds, with proper care and nourishment, would grow and bear many fruits.  

PLW (Prayer and Life Workshop)


One seed that I planted was the PLW.  This -  Prayer and Life Workshop - changed my life.  I haven't submitted a testimony on this (as requested), so I'll just write my very personal testimony during this whole workshop here. Though I've shared some of these verbally during our graduation rites.


This was a 15-day workshop and was held every Wednesday 7pm behind St. Francis Parish along Shaw Boulevard.  We started this last September and we just had our graduation today at Holy Spirit, BF Homes, QC.  I felt a bit sad that the workshop is over.  I would be missing this activity tremendously.


Desert Day

Our "graduation rites" is called Desert Day.  It was held just this morning.  It started 7am and ended around 4pm.  The night before our graduation, I set my alarm to 4:30am, so that I could start really early to prepare everything.  Unfortunately, I did not hear the alarm.  Good thing, my friend sent me a message in my mobile but it was already 6:30 am!  I heard the message tone, and suddenly rose up from my sleep.  I hurriedly took a bath (still very dizzy), dressed up, and went off.  It was good that traffic was very light since it was still early.  We arrived at the site around 7:30 am.  

We rang the doorbell outside the gate, but no one was answering.  We waited for a little while since there was a message posted at the gate to wait a little while for the gate to be opened.  We just read our assignments while waiting.  After a few minutes, there was still no answer.  My friend excused herself and went across the street to blow her nose (she had a cold at that time).  She saw that there was another gate.  

Thanks to her colds, we were able to go inside the correct gate.  My reaction?  I thank God that He made a way for us to be in the right gate.

If you ask me what would be my reaction on that situation if I haven't had the PLW, I would have had been pissed off, or would not have felt good.  PLW changed my life tremendously, and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be in that workshop.  It gave me a different perspective in life.  It gave me reasons to thank God amidst my trials and adversities. 

 It made me more reflective, and calm.  My prayers are now making sense and are interconnected with my life.  Yes, I still experience trials and pains. I still experience downfalls and still submits sometimes to temptations.  But with God's grace, I am now stronger.  With God within me and I in Him, I know that everything will just fall into its right place.  

The workshop made me love God, love God's words through the bible, love the people around me.  There is more love in me than before I had the PLW.


I believe that God has a big plan for all of us, and PLW is a great instrument that would lead us to the right path where the big plan is being prepared.

I do hope PLW will be spread all over the Philippines, specially in the provinces, and all over the world as well.  God gives tools and instruments to be closer to Him.  And I thank Him for giving PLW to me.
So if you happen to read this, and there is an opportunity for you to join this workshop, I encourage you to join.  I'm very much certain that it will greatly affect your life, as well as it did in mine.  If you are interested on this, I found a facebook fan page on this.  You can click here
