In search for truth When you come in conflict with the things that your church leader is telling you, what should you do? First, pray first that you will be guided by the Holy Ghost. I don't mean to be so simplistic but we are ready gathered in His name, can't we first ask His guidance? I think that should come first. Second, evaluate first the truth value of the said thing. Even if it will take you time as long as you reflect upon it. If not, why not clarify your side?…

Go on… I will go on. I will go on with my life. I will put my past behind and smile through it. You were my past, and I am putting you behind. But the #you, complicatedly, is a variable, not a constant. So many past… Not sure who is who… But one thing is clear to me now, that He is the one who can help me despite what happened in the past. In my past. In the history of my life. So I will go on with my life because He is there, ever ready to guide and speak His truths to me.…

Forever Doomed but Saved thru His Grace They say that we have to balance the heart and mind. We have to use the mind in order to guide the heart. Likewise we have to listen to our heart. If not, we will be forever doomed. If we then chose the wrong path, are we then unhappy forever? That may be true. Or if you become happy once in a while you will still go back to your unhappiness. Choosing the wrong person, living with someone your heart is not with will contribute to one's…

What will you do when you find money? I was walking along the sidewalk, eyes straight ahead. When suddenly someone almost bumped against me. It was the thing just before me that he ran to pick up. It was money, roughly worth 12 dollars when converted to the USD currency. I wondered for a moment whether I should have regrets not being the one who picked the money. Then I thought again, well, it is not mine. I did not sweat for it. It's just but a better thing it didn't go…

Lamentations What do you do when you long for someone? But that someone is someone you have taken for granted before. You suddenly realized what has happened. And what was that? What have I done? You tell yourself. I would like to write this for my sake. So I might be able to come up with some idea on how to manage my longing for someone. Why should I long for someone whom I have taken for granted? That very thing, taking someone for granted, I was too blind not to be able…

But I... I still love you. In the night, during the day. When everyone's gone, and no one's looking. I've stalked the net for your updates and new pictures. I like your provincial orientation. You went home to the province to live a basic life. To our province... We both hail from the same place, and I know how it is to live there. And I love you more for your choice. I'm stuck here at the city, forever bound to pay my dues and to live the life I've chosen. Have you asked? I…

I always thought... I always thought that life was like that, like when I was younger, when I was a youth. I took for granted those times I should be marveling about. I felt a little bored, though I was and is not one who is easily bored. It is a luxury for me to get bored, because life is so busy. There really is no time for me to be bored. If I am not doing something, I simply enjoy my life. I am the type who would wish that if possible, there is a lot of idle time. So…

I was used... Like when suddenly you go somewhere. Just suddenly you decided something against all odds. Only to be surprised by something. My heart was so heavy from all the unfavorable things that's happening to my life when suddenly I decided to go to church on a Saturday. We ended the first few moments singing songs. They provide mass for Saturday for those who may not be able to come on a Sunday. I could go an a Sunday but I went on a Saturday. What they do in our…

Letter to ask for forgiveness Dear self of the present, *Image above is a free photo from Unsplash.* Writing to you is me, yourself from the past. It seems I have done a great mistake because right now, you are suffering. You are alone and you are fixing my mistakes, all alone. But you are not alone, The Father is with you until you finish every last problem here on earth. With Him you will be blessed even more. Acknowledge your mistakes, accept all shame you experience,…
