Prompt writing 1:Write about your favorite singer?
"Pwede pa rin pala akong maka experience ng joy kahit malungkot ako sa gabi, pwede ko pa rin maghanap ang sarili ko, kahit nawawala ako sa gabi". (I can still experience joy even if I'm sad at night, I can still found myself, even if I'm lost at night)
These are words from my favorite singer, "Moira Dela Torre",when she had an interview in Magandang Buhay yesterday. As a woman, I admired her personality and faith in God, that in times of difficulty and trials she remains on her right perspective in life.
When her husband have cheated on her, her best friend die, her driver got a cancer, which all of these worst things had happened within two days.She maybe had a tough times in processing her emotions, she keeps on leaning to God.
As she expresses her words and her face, she shows being resilient as a woman not because of anybody else, but because she rely on God to keep her strong, to make her as a whole like a diamond one day.
Short background of Moira Dela Torre :She is an OPM(original Filipino music) singer, who experienced being cheated by her husband after 3 years of marriage.
Even if the netizens had a lot of comments, against Moira and her husband, but I observed that she really knows to stand on still believing in love.She really inspires me, for not expressing her resentments even hate against her husband, instead, she wished that he will be whole someday. I will described her as a wise person who knows how to react fairly, and placed her emotions in a rightful manner.
This woman is a living testimony how God really works in mysterious ways, that despite all the darkness that she's been through, she's holding on to the positive promises of the Lord in her life.
One of the statement that she said is that, "she set herself free from the things she cannot control just like her song" Malaya". It true, that we should never have to hold on things which we don't have control, or even adds heaviness in our hearts, but all we got to do, is to "Let go". It means granting freedom with oneself, from the chain that keeps pulling on her. So, whatever bondages that keeps holding you now, there is a chance to break free.
This woman had a words that sounds poetic, when she says, "part of healing is grieving, which means she experienced both at the same time".
We know that grieving is not that easy, she's grieving for her best friend who died, and she go through all of the heartaches, she still totally dependent in God.She always turn back to God with her every word, that she believed "God can make things beautiful in his own time".
"I still believe in true love, it may not come to me in human form but in God" - Moira
Even if her marriage fail, she still believe in love, that true love exists, which she always hope in the Lord. Loving shouldn't stop, just because we're heart broken, or failure but instead, it should continually flowing and we can count on God, to give us love all through out.
As I come to think of it, these are the things that I've learned:
Our happiness shouldn't depend on people, but it should depend on God.
Why? Because people always fail, and disappoint us, whether we believe it or not, the person that we loved the most is the one who can hurt us most. Let me just share, during the first five years of my marriage, my life revolves around with my husband, my love for him and that I don't want to live away from Him. I disconnect with my friends and focused in him alone. But, there was one time that we had an argument, which makes me changed of my perspective, I am very disappointed in him which almost end up to break up but thank God, we never did.
After that day, I came to realized that my world shouldn't stop or limited when I fell in love, but instead, it takes new direction. I consider romantic love as top 3 of my love lists. My first love is God, second is my family, and 3rd is my husband. This human kind of love, can be playful, and hurt us at the same time, we should have the right focus and open eyes when we love someone.
Surround yourselves with people who will be there for you.
Moira says, that she doesn't know how to react if ever on the day, that she will find out that her husband was cheating, her friend died, her driver got cancer, if she were with wrong people.
She was thankful that her friends like Gary V, Regine was there for her, who truly sympathize and encourage her when she's down. Even if she cried at night when she's alone, but during the day, she also feels joy through the people that got her company.
The strong person is a humble one.
Though Moira was famous and known to be a poetic writer, had a lot of achievements,beautiful but she's a humble woman, who give her all to God, she never speaks negativity against anybody but she just submit herself to God's will.
It's hard to put down our pride, it's hard to forgive, but she choose to do so.
Final thoughts
It doesn't mean that if we are a good person, people will love us sincerely or we will never be hurt, most of the time, those who love the most are the one who are left behind. I really see it in my friends and families who really did everything for love.
So, let's love, but I must say we should also go deep down to knowing God's love which makes us stronger and enable us to become a better person as well,if ever our relationship will fail, we never know, we are not left in debris.
People will fail, so don't rely on him 100%, depend on God to keep your heart as a whole,whatever happens in your life, you will always be whole in God's love by not depending human love to pay you back.
Don't get tired of love, get closer to the source of Love, and it's God.
