  • What is wrong with me?
    I'm always talking about my feelings and stuff. Must be blooming into a girl, mentally. Ha.

    This past week or maybe a couple of weeks now, have been a moment of pure, raw faith. Not for me, necessarily because in all honesty, I personally have no drama in my life. I kid not. Whatever drama I do have, it's all my friends' dramas. I take up the burden of others' problems and treat them as my own and pray about it. There's something unique about that, you know? A  prayer is different when you pray for it as your own rather than someone else's.

    One friend, amongst a handful, has been going through some serious stuff past couple of weeks. So I prayed. It's easier said than done, this 'having faith' action. I literally went to the bottom of the barrel, scraping the burnt leftover fragments because I was really at the end of my rope. I was asking God,
    "Seriously? You're going to push it THIS far? Did you FORGET we are still humans?"
    I shouldn't be so crass with God. He sort of keeps me alive. But lack of faith causes lack of respect sometimes.

    But I kept the faith, because all around me, everywhere I went, I heard this voice whispering, "God does not abandon. God is the God of miracles. Even when I can't see ANY results, God is a God of miracles." And I woke up in the morning to the sound of that voice. I opened the Bible, and there it was...every single day, the same promise but in a different chapter or verse. I kid you not, I was getting clear messages, every single day. So I believed I wasn't crazy and sure enough...

    ...at the very last second...
    ...of the very last day...
    ...in the most unlikely of circumstances...
    ...in the eye of impossibility...

    God opened a door where there was absolutely no door to be opened.

    Miracles STILL happen...right now.

  • I just had to post this. Only because the change of circumstances really is flooring me. ...

    I guess my dumb phone as usual doesn't know how to behave so yesterday it didn't ring. Literally anyone who called...all their calls came up this morning, as missed calls. So the past month, my dad's been calling me everyday (that's like the Pope becoming Hindu), only because my mom's in India right now.

    Anyway, yesterday I guess the phone didn't work and I open my email this morning and this is what I read...an email from my Dad...

    "What happened to your phone? How are you?"

    Say WHAAA?
    I'm saving that email for the REST of my living days. And I'm going to request to be buried with it as well.

    Sentimental, much?

  • I don't need to understand a lot of things...but I wish I could understand why he died today.
    Why, when so many of us truly believed he would recover.

    I wish I could demand an answer.
    But when I read a book, I don't demand the author to explain why the ending is the way it is.

    He was to die today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Not next year.
    It was written before any plan that I could come up with. It was already written.

    Goodbye, Johnny Pastor.

  • I'm sure enough friends have called me this week to notice that I haven't picked up. (That's not a surprise but the fact that I'm doing nothing gives me no excuse.)

    But in my defense...for the most part this week, I have been extremely lazy. To the point where I come home, shower and curl up beneath blankets with a book in tow. I've been doing that for the past two days and then in the process, I've fallen asleep. I travel in and out of sleep actually and every time I wake up, I continue on in the book and then doze off.

    It's gotten to the point where I sometimes cannot distinguish the book from reality during these times. I actually doze off and have mini-dreams about the book's occurrences. It's rather funny, actually.

    So with that, my bum status has probably reached an all-time high.

    Sorry guys, for all the missed calls.
