Been out for some time

For this month, life has been tough and rough. Now I am writing again to tell everyone that Jesus is alive. He has worked in ways very surprising.

Stormy marriage occupied and clouded my thoughts. I am being taught about forgiveness lately and it was the most difficult lecture I have heard so far. I mean I am not just hearing about it, I had to learn it through the bruises in my heart. God has made people's marriage really imperfect so we could only look up to Him and say,"Oh I almost forgot, this marriage isn't about us, but about You displaying Your love, Your mercy, Your grace". The moment you forgot about God (in all human relationships) is the moment you actually lose those people you thought you are related with.

There is no human relationship that will truly flourish without the Lord. Nothing. Love binds relationships, God is love, without God, you have nothing to do with each other. You'll just hurt yourselves till you bleed to death.

However, God is not the magic formula so we could get along with each other. God is not only The Source of love, but He is the reason why we love. By that I mean, we need to learn how to consciously love the other person simply because we love Who made that person.

Funny sistah

After I posted our photos when we were kids, I missed her terribly that I woke up one day and decided to see her at all cost. Our budget may not be enough that time for treating her in a good resto but we had a good time. My husband was so facinated by how we exchange stories of the past and the present. I don't know but whenever we reunite, sharing makes us feel at home in an instant. We don't even care how animated we look like. We freely show our emotions like nobody else is around.  

When the night was over, we were crying as we said our goodbyes. She reminded me, "Dati magkatabi lang tayo matulog no?" Tears started to roll down on my cheeks and they became unstoppable. We both live in the Metro but our distance is exaggerated by lack of chance to meet. I regret that we didn't really grew up together. I was so independent that I don't know if I have influenced my sister to any degree. Our irregular family set up has caused us to stand strong whether alone or not. There wasn't a choice. My heart's prayer is for her to settle down with somebody who God really wants for her. I pray that they would build a family that we never had. I bet God has also a gift for her, somebody whom God will use to let her feel how lovely girl she truly is.

For me, she's still the smartest kid I've ever played with.
