bad day?

i guess i get the colds this morning... woke up headachy and my nose "a-runnin". hehehe! While on our way home from uncle cardo`s wake in Binangonan, heavy rains came ( we learned later it was a typhoon).Umabot kami ng Makati sa kahahanap ng daan pauwi na walang baha.... But all streets in Makati leading home were all flooded, we didn`t risked our car, but all the same tumirik pa rin. Hubby tried his best to make it run, doing repairs not mindful of the heavy downfall because all we wanted was to reach home. We had a long day and we were beginning to feel exhausted, tired and sleepy... lol. But before we did reach home, we faced several difficult situations, like kumain kami sa jollibee, nagpatila muna, but when we were ready to go, naiwan pala ang susi sa loob ng sasakyan, hindi namin mabuksan, so natagalan na naman kami. Puro kalikot....sundot ang ginawa ni hubby. Ang hirap kaya....I wonder how those car thieves opens locked cars in a blink of an eye, lols!

Yesterday was a total mess. Also my patience was really tried to the utmost by people who don`t know how to keep promises to other people`s disadvantage. Di ba tawag dyan ay mga trucebreakers? Nangangako hindi naman tinutupad... We had an appointment with two people who owed us money and promised to return it to us that very day. ( names i won`t disclose) Diyos ko po, taon na po ang binilang hindi pa binabalik. I pleaded that we were in dire need this week and that money would really be the solution and answer to our predicaments. But they failed us again. Never even showed up. Dinedma ang mga text messages ko. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? hmmm, somehow, the fruit of the spirit in me still prevailed.

For a while i can`t help to consider people like these as my enemies. Of course it`s not a good feeling. Not God would want us to feel because what He says is we must love our enemies. Let them bring out the best in us, not the worst. That when someone gives us a hard time, we must respond with the energies of prayer for by doing so we are working out our true selves, our God created selves.

This is what God does. He gives his best - the sun to warm and the rain to nourish, to everyone, regardless - the good and bad, the nice and nasty, trucebreakers included.

Grow up, i told myself. I am a subject in His kingdom. I must live like it. I must practice my God-created identity by living generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward me...

Talaga ngang may " masasamang" araw. Not good situations came our way in only a day..But glad that the Word of God is in our hearts to remind us and always in hand if we need it. However bad a day maybe God can turn it around and make it good..

and He did it for me yesterday....
