wow, i miss this old place of mine. My instinct tells me to come home to this my "homely" abode where i could hide from all the hassles of the outside world.
We had trying and most challenging weeks behind us, and God knows what`s instore in the coming days. Top in the list of "priorities" ( except the Lord ) are financial obligations. Sabi nga ni remie, hindi niya alam kung saan pupunta, para maghanap ng means pambabayad sa lahat ng kailangan tapatan ng pera, i would say, so am I. The tensions causes me to feel crying or screaming. Things just mounts up. These are days when you feel there`s nowhere to go and no one to turn to for help because everyone surrounding you are also busy fighting their battles and struggles. Helpless, di ba? Wala ka nang magagawa pa kundi umupo at maghintay pero..... tumatakbo ang kalooban, kinakabahan, nagmamadali...lols.
I am reminded of the Israelites when they were being chased by the enemies. These enemies were behind them while they ran for their lives. But then how can they go on, there was the red sea before them? They have nowhere to go but to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord... We know how the story went, God saved them from their predicament....
The God of the Israelites and the God that I am serving is One. And He promise to fight the battle for us... I know He is doing it for me and for my present situation... And with that, i am encouraged.
Well, in every dark corner, there are more bright ones. Charis has got himself a job, i hope a promising one. He started 3 days ago and i think he like what he is doing. at least nakuha niya yung gusto niyang trabaho. To be able to teach online, but this time he`s employed in a big company working 6 hours everyday. Si verniel naman, balik college, taking marketing course. Buti na lang na-enroll ko na siya earlier. So these are some of the things that I thank the Lord for.
Dave, has got series of preaching engagements for the coming couple of days in surrounding churches before he would proceed to Singapore and Indonesia to speak in youth retreats in both countries next month. Hayy naman, i couldn`t keep them at home na. My children have grown up. Days have passed me by.
I also suffered from allergies. Thing in common for some of us patts. Yong iba ngayon ko lang naranasan. Malalaking pantal at makati. grabe kasi ang init the past months. Hindi ka makapag-isip ng matino. Thank God, ilang araw nang umulan ng malakas, para ngang bagyo sa lakas..... mainit pa rin sa araw pero at least parang binuhusan na ng lamig ang kalooban ko.. Mabuti na lang si hubby is very much calm during times like these. I can now react to stress much better. Instead of immediately reacting and allowing my pulse rate to rise and my breath to shorten. I can now pause, think, take a deep breath. Can now easily grab moments to consider options and solutions..... with hubby of course.
We know that in every problem there`s got to be a way out. Just stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, hehehe!!! just like what the israelites did, and sure enough they got their solution.
The bottom line, I have a great God. He is faithful even in my shortcomings and many times lack of trust in His words. I am such an ungrateful little ogre. He has carried us through ups and downs, and He promises us that He will until the end. How could i be so sorrowful when I know that my God is able?
I should be reminding myself that over and over again. Meron ka ba namang temperament na kagaya sa akin?
Generally, we are physically fine. Mama is, and all of us here in Malacanang house. How about you pattsclan? Please let us know.
This is just to say hello.... i just felt good to be home....here in my first "real" home....lols
