You Never Left

Life is beautiful and it feels so good to be alive. I normally open my eyes in the morning with excitement in my heart. Generally, I'm a cheerful person - someone who's full of happiness and love.


There was a time, though, when everything was slowly falling apart. When waking up and facing a brand new day feels like a torture. That moment when even a simple smile seems like taking all the energy left within me, pushes me into thinking that it would be better if I raise the white flag and give up. I was stucked in a dark room full of fears, sadness, anger and confusion.


I didn’t think I can get through it, but You did.


For You who stayed by my side through my raging seas: the One who held my hand and never let my fingers slip during the storm, for You who could see the light at the end of this journey when all I can see was complete darkness.


For Your beautiful soul who believed in reconciliation and forgiveness, who keeps on saying that I can still be transfomed into someone who's capable of loving and appreciating life again. You who believed that I can be healed through time, that I can grow through persecution. You who never once judged me for my heartache, sins, anguish and grief.


Who, when the world was the worst place to live in, handed me a bit of hope and encouraged me to have a tiny scrap of faith that things might begin to change for the better.


For You who was sweet with His words and capable of pressing me forward. Who actually came and sat for a while, just to accompany me in the dark corner.


You witnessed and endured my hurting mind, body, heart and soul. You gently calmed me inside and frantically tried to mend my broken pieces that I couldn’t fixed myself. You saved me from a very difficult battle that I thought was going to kill me without mercy.


You saw me through my deep and obscure pain but still loved me at my worst. You never gave up on me.


You made me smile when I couldn’t do it myself. You spoke words for me when I was lost. You looked me in the eyes and knew that I wouldn’t be like this forever.


You knew. You waited. You never left.


Thank You.

FATHER’S DAY: A TRIBUTE

Image
T oday is Father’s Day. A day of cologne.  A day of hugs, new neckties, long-distance phone calls, and Hallmark cards. Today is my first Father’s Day without a father. For thirty-one years I had one. I had one of the best. But now he’s gone. He’s buried under an old oak tree in a west Texas cemetery. Even though he’s gone, his presence is very near ¾ especially today.             It seems strange that he isn’t here. I guess that’s because he was never gone. He was always close by. Always available. Always present. His words were nothing novel. His achievements, though admirable, were nothing extraordinary.             But his presence was.             Like a warm fireplace in a large house, he was a source of comfort. Like a sturdy porch swing or a big-branched elm in the backyard, he could always be found…a...

KAIBIGAN - Sila yung mga kapatid mo sa ibang nanay...

Image
KAIBIGAN ? Sila yung mga taong tatawanan ka pag nadapa ka, babatukan ka pag nagkamali ka, iinsultuhin ka pag di ka maganda pumorma. Sila yung mga taong wala nang ibang ginawa kundi utuin ka pag may pera o pagkain ka, papasok sa bahay nyo ng basta-basta, kakantyawan ka pag may crush ka, at higit sa lahat, papagalitan ka pag may ginawa kang hindi maganda. Hindi ba’t nakakatuwa? Kasi kahit paminsan minsan eh pabaya ka, meron pa ring gaya nila. Hindi ba’t nakakataba ng puso, kasi may mga taong kahit hindi ka man kadugo eh ang turing pa rin sa’yo ay parang parte ng kanilang pamilya? Pero bakit ganon? Bakit minsan eh hindi natin sila makita? Oh sabihin man nating nakikita natin sila, bakit hindi man lang natin sila magawang pasalamatan? Sabagay… Minsan kasi sa ibang tao tayo mas nakatingin. Minsan pa nga, pag nagkaroon tayo ng girlfriend o boyfriend, yung mga kaibigan pa natin yung nakakalimutan natin. Tapos akala natin kapag iniwan tayo ng mga syota natin eh katapusan na natin sa...

You're still on the PROCESS

Image
All of us we're still on the process of LEARNING and GROWING. And as we follow His ways and teachings, we discover that we... Lose to gain. Surrender to win. Die to live. Give to receive. Serve to reign. Scatter to reap. In weakness, we are made strong, In humility, we are lifted up. And in emptiness. we are made full. God is not finished with you yet, you're still a work on progress! Just let Him mold you to be one of the most beautiful pot ever. God Bless You!
