I'm Marco Angelo Robillos LapeƱa, a 17 y/o teenager from San Fernando Pampanga, Philippines. Just want to share with you guys the experience that I had with God, of how He greatly changed my Life from nothing into something.
I was before a very timid, computer freak, cheater, backstabber, liar, slightly homo and greenly minded little fellow. So my life went on from kinder to grade school, and from grade school to high school. The peek of my troubles started when i was at my 1st year high school days, where I pretended to be someone who is rich and very social loving person with my classmates. I had 2 unserious relationships then. I thought it would already end there, but it did not, because a more serious problem took place in my 2nd year high school days, because of my jealousy with one of my classmate (who is a gay.), 'cause he had many friends with his situation that he's a gay, while I don't have. So I planned to make a story (rumors shall I say) about me to catch their attentions. The plan worked well, I said I was then a Girl who was pretending to be a boy to escape some problems. yeah, they believed me, and I was then happy for I thought I have friends. But I was wrong. One day, my classmates knew I was lying, I got half of the class as friends, and it turned out the whole class was mad at me, the worse was that it spread out of the 1st cluster of 2nd years in our school. Then one day when my adviser knew about it, at the day of our cards out, my adviser told my mother what I said, what I did. It's just that my mother went home, seated beside me, and cried, asking "WHY?". I got afraid that time, I just don't know what to do. I cried all day all night. Again I thought it was over that day. When I woke up the next morning, my mother told me that my father was angry with me for what I have done. I felt that I put a shame on my family's name. I really don't know what to do. the next days were more difficult, no more father to take me into the school and fetch me, no more sense of joy with me, my mother and my father inside our home. Even the best friends that I have then were gone because of what I have done. So one night I planned this thing that I called "The Right Day Public Apology" in front of the whole class. I have confessed to my adviser that none of those things that I said were true, not even one was true. She forgave me, I had one friend who was there with me all through out by the way. So the forgiveness that my adviser has given me, gave me more courage to do my plan in action. So one-by-one I asked for forgiveness from them. Of course not all of them forgave me, but for me, I just want them to know the reasons I had in doing those things. So, I really bet that was the end of the troublesome me.
The 3rd year chapter of my life was the turning point of my Life to Jesus. It goes like this...
Half of my 3rd year life was fun, with friends (real friends) joking around with green jokes. I was then a guy who puts malicious meanings on the jokes of my classmates which makes us all laugh. Until, one Saturday, my uncle was inviting me on a Gig at a church at Greenfields Sindalan . At first, I was thinking, "What is wrong with this guy?" because all I know about Him is that He is boastful, bragful and a tricky guy, so why on the earth would I go with Him? Next Saturday, He again invited me, and that time I got curious and thinking, "Why does he insist to invite me where in the first place I rejected his first invitation?" He smiled when I accepted the invitation. I prepared, and on the way, He treated me transportation fare. I't just like, He really changed a lot for me. So we got at the church, and I told myself, "Whoah! what is this thing that I'm into now?". We went in, and a lot of youths were singing while their eyes were closed and their hands lifted up, and I just kept silent, still, I don't know exactly what was happening around me. This is the most extraordinary part of it. We planned to sit at the most left side. But my uncle invited me to sit at the middle isle. From that moment that I stood in that spot, the white light shone on me from the very beginning up to the last minute of the whole gig, and while the light was shinning towards me, I heard a voice saying, "Welcome back home my Child, New hope is upon You, I am your God." And a light-feeling came upon me. Suddenly, the praise and worship leader (who is my Life Group Leader now.) introduced the new song to the whole church entitled "Song of Hope". Then the Youth Pastor, Pastor Ru, invited the first time comers in front which is the Altar Call. The whole church laid hands on us and Pastor Ru lead us into a prayer of acceptance. After that, I felt the contentment in Jesus. Praise GOD for His Amazing Grace of Love, Because of Jesus' Love I was saved. yes, I have repented and surrendered it all to GOD. From that day, I called God my "Dadi God". Monday after that Saturday, on our class, I didn't told them what had happenned in me because of Jesus, I just showed it. They were really shocked of the big change that took place in me. Even I didn't know the things that they saw, for all I know, I just rejected the things that God doesn't want me to do. Then, God dealt with me, to ask sorry to my former classmates telling all truth without holding back something. So I did the best that I can to tell all of them that I was very sorry for what I have done. Again, not all of them have forgiven me, but God told me to expect those answers, I accepted those critics for it was still a part of the consequences of what I have done.... and from that day onwards, I have a new journey with my Dadi GOD. The next blogs that I will share with you guys are the Revelations that God will teach me and He taught me. Hope to share with you guys the lessons that I learned and I will learn in this new journey that I have with our Lover Jesus Christ...
