I remember what my very awesome friend Danielle had on her journalism shirt. It goes somewhat like this.
“I always look forward to writing not just because I could EXPRESS but because I know I could INSPIRE someone.”
Not exact, but you get the point. Which is why I am writing this down here in facebook (first posted this on facebook just minutes ago.) where the people I hope to read this could read this. So, here it goes.
*Praise is still thinking how to start*I started to know the true meaning of ‘learning’ for the past year. I’ve been able to experience, do, feel and discover a lot of stuff which I believe God used to teach me, and indeed, He did teach me and He did it very well. Although, some of them I already knew, but I figured out I really didn’t know them.
One of the stuff God taught me is that, *dramatic pose*— God loves me. God loves me in so many ways and in so many levels. I am alive. I am born with a complete body; with a complete family; with a loving and forgiving father and a responsible and wise mother; with a very giving brother and a sister to laugh with before going to sleep. I have shelter, clothes and food more than enough of what I am suppose to have. I am given great education and amazing friends. And as I was typing that, I was overwhelmed and still am. It had just been days ago when I heard from my friends in my previous school. It was great talking to some of them and I could clearly remember our happy days like it was a just minute ago. Sadly, it was not just a minute ago. It had been three years already and it was not that ‘happy’ anymore. Adding a number to the cencus is not really ‘good stuff’ to hear. (I hope you got that sentence.) Honestly, some part of me just— cracked, and it ain’t a nice feeling. I could tell you that. I’m not gonna detail how creepy it felt, but for a couple of nights, I kept thinking and thinking about it. After those nights of thinking, I asked myself; Why didn’t I become like them? Why? I mean, I’d been with them for a great amount of time, hadn’t I? But, why? Then, a lot of other questions started to flash fastly in my mind. Why am I this and that; Why am I given this and that; Why is my whoever this and that instead of being this and that like the others. Looking at myself in the mirror, I’m a big fat (Oh wait! I’m not fat.) nothing. Well, maybe I’m something. Let’s see… I’m 50% bones, 45% flesh and 5% fats. Wow. That even all certainly does not make me worthy of all of these wonderfulness beyond meassure God is showering upon me. But, you know what the good thing is? Despite being just bones, flesh and some fats, He has been giving me grace. And you know what else? He didn’t just leave me that way. He turned me into something more. There was Jesus in me. [And, let me tell you how it felt like. It was like, you’ve been in the comfort room falling in line for your turn in a cubicle for such a long time. You’ve been sweating, holding your breath because it’s stinky, holding ‘it’ in with all the forces you could excert then, you’re finally done and you can go out. And, you inhale the fresh air of the outside. (What a metaphor! That was unusual.) And you’re finally free.]
Because I am a girl of questions, I still continued to ask, why? Then, the answer I’ve ‘always known’ pops in. Because He loves me. Then, I ask again, why? Then again, the other answer I’ve ‘always known’ pops in, too. Because He simply does and there’s nothing I could do about it. Do you know what else? He loves you too because He simply does and there’s nothing you could do about it. He has this road where both of you could walk. It gets bumpy on some parts. Likereally really really bumpy you wanna get off the road. But, hey! That doesn’t mean He doesn’t love you. That’s why He’s walking with you in the first place.
*Why, I hope that made sense. I hope you got something from there. Having problems with the sequencing/arranging of thoughts and freedom of usage of words. Wush! OH YEAH! Someday, somehow, I’ll share the very, untimately awesome, most treasured (so far) thing I learned. That won’t be anytime soon. Anyway, thank you!
¡A Dios sea la gloria! <— How I hope the grammar is right. (To God be the glory!)
