Letting Go.

Friends can be lovers but it’s hard for lovers to be friends.


True enough. Recently, I went through this uncomfortable experience. One of my friends went through a rollercoaster rid of his life. Matters of the heart. And as a good friend, I did everything I could. Gave advices and sharing Words of God as it helped me a lot during the times of my struggles. We share a few drinking nights together, days of continuous exchanges of messages just to make him feel good and tons of wasakan moments with other friends. Then upon assessing myself, I’ve realized that there’s a small part of me getting attached to this person. There is now a single, tiny dot of admiration I felt inside me. Trying to be righteous, I don’t want to hit on a friend especially someone who’s going through an emotional catastrophe for I don’t want to cause anymore confusion and/or I don’t want to be accused of taking advantage of the situation. Then I’ve decided to continue being his confidante and adviser until he get through his storm then I will slowly detach myself to prevent any further development of feelings towards that person. And that day came. My friend and his partner patched up things and got back together. And for me, that is the sign that he is now okay and I can now fix myself. Honestly, this is something I do not life about myself. I get attached to people easily. I don’t want to ruin another friendship. I don’t want take another chance. Not this time. I know I made the right decision. It may not feel right but I know in due time, it will.

Say a little Prayer

Image
Last Sunday, I attended our Church’s service. As always, I felt like Ptr. Bong was talking to me. He reminded us that God want us to pray at all times, for in praying we talk to Him. It’s our chance to tell Him whatever we would like to say. And recently, sad to say, I had less time to pray. I am guilty. I feel ashamed. Just like what the Lord told us in Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 16   Rejoice always,   17   pray continually,   18   give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Regardless if we’re happy, sad, angry, terrified, lost, satisfied or anything, we have to pray. We have to pray to ask for guidance and most importantly, to glorify Him for everything. Starting tonight, I will try my very best to be more prayerful and to spare time for Him.

May oras ka pa ba?

“Anong pinaka sweet na bagay na ginawa ng partner mo sayo?” tanong nya. “Ang hirap isipin. Pero siguro during the time that I was assign sa Cagayan De Oro for a month and sinundan nya ko para samahan for one month.” Ang sagot ko. Bigla akong napaisip. Ano nga ba makakapag pasaya sa isang tao? Paano mo mararamdaman na mahalaga ka? Time. Mahirap ibigay ang oras. Mahirap maglaan ng oras. Bago mo pa maramdaman ang sweetness, ang thoughtfulness at lahat pa ng “ness” you need to spare some time. Mahirap naman magpaka sweet kung wala kang time, diba? Kahit sa phone, in person o sa chat pa yan – it all requires time. Ang pagbibigay mo ng oras sa mga taong mahahalaga sayo only shows kung gano sila kahalaga. Yung mga oras na ginugugol mo sa kanila, pwedeng pwede mo gamitin sa ibang bagay, sa ibang tao, pero mas pinili mo sya. Madalas, sa mga tao ngayon, hindi na napapansin ito. Akala maliit na bagay lang, na simple lang ang oras. Pero kugn tutuusin, halos lahat di pagkaakunawaan pwedeng mag uga
