It's been a short while, and yet God has stretched me so much in just a few days. I've been taught mainly that you can't look at circumstance and Jesus at the same time. In other words, you have to keep your eyes focused on Christ. I'm just scared, honestly, at times to leave everything to God. I mean, I guess we all go through that, right? But this past week, God has really shown me His grace and love, even beyond my faults and mistakes. If it was up to me, this past week would probably be a mess.
Yet, this week, I've grown closer to a lot of my friends and God has also granted me time togethers with a few that I've been wanting to spend time with for a long time. He has blessed me so much, to the point of me breaking down in tears cause I really feel I don't deserve it. I've not really been a 'model' Christian for the past few weeks, yet God still blessed me so much. Sigh. God's given me sisters, daughters, and brothers.
Lyqa, Abby, I love you both! Thank you for really making my week so special. Thank you for adopting me into your family and showing me the love that I've been needing to strive farther along in this week. Thank you for the picture! I love it so much. I mean, no one has ever, honestly, given me a picture for my wallet. Okay, that's not true. There was one person, but that's a long long long story. But that was four years ago. You're the only people on this side of the world to ever ever do that. Love you both so much! you know hugs are always welcome.
Luigi! You're really a brother to me. Thanks for the talks and the laughter. Thanks for the late night Reyes Barbecue and the fun little joking times we've had. thansk for reminding me of God's grace by showing me the passion you have for the college. I'm so glad you had a fun time at the retreat, and you really showed me how chivalry is really not dead. Just..um...dont post no way out spoilers on your multiply, huh? Lol.
Abbey! thank you for being so understanding despite my stupidity and mistakes :-P I don't know how you put up with me. There I was thinking I'd surprise you Sunday when in fact you surprised me. Wish you weren't so busy with school, but I understand. You really showed me that God is the one with the ultimate plan.
Kuya Api! You and the Y-Group AG. Man, you really cheered me up during the long hard emotional sharing times. You can really make me laugh. Honestly, you inspire me to become better. You have grown leaps and bounds in your pastoral ministry. You are the man!
Sean! Love you. thanks for really sharing with me all that was going on with you. Thanks for always just being there to talk and to find such life truths in Mike Mignola's art :-P You're great. I know we all mess up and make mistakes, but God is good. I'm praying for you, bro.
Dawn! My sister, thanks for being so sweet. Thanks for the fries! And thanks for the talks. And thanks for letting me make tampo :-P You brought a smile to my day today.
