LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER

Sometimes things are either going too well or too bad. If I’m too happy and satisfied I just let everything pass by and savor the moment. On the other hand, when things are not what I want them to be, I’m too busy trying to fix what I can. Either way I don’t have the time for reflection and writing, that’s why I believe the best time to write is when you’re in the Golden mean. With that I mean, you’re not too sad nor too happy.

I don’t even know where to start, but I shall continue. Me and my three college friends decided to print our term paper and at the same time send the soft copy to our teacher all together.  Pumunta na kami dun sa unit ng friend ko sa dorm niya, around 5 pm ready na kaming mag-print. So ayun nagpprint na kami and nag-email. At 5:30 pm my friend who finished writing her term paper lastly suddenly noticed that the format of her paper is wrong. Required kasi kami na gumawa ng 10-page paper. Dapat long bond paper, ang nangyare sakanya short. So imbis na ten pages yung paper niya naging 8 nalang. Imposible na talaga na mapuno niya yun. Pero ginawan ng paraan, klase naman for that day is 6:00 pm. Kapag na-late ka kayo tatawagin recitation sa round na yun. At dahil gumagawa nga kami ng paper, hindi kami nakapagbasa eh tatlong libro. THREE BOOKS. THREE BOOOOOOOOOKS. Ako isa lang nabasa ko, so pag nalate kami hindi ako ready. But then the clock strikes to 6:00 pm, hindi parin siya tapos sa paper. Yung isa kong friend nagtawag na ng tricycle, ako hinold ko na yung elavator, while yung isa naman tinutulungan yung friend ko na magprint and magsend ng email sa prof namin. Teh 6:05 na. Late na kami at alam namin na laging on time ang professor namin, Habang nasa tric, kausap ko na yung friend ko sabi ko pag nauna kami sa professor namin hindi ako manunuod ng anime for two months. Ayun na binaba kami sa isang street na medyo malayo pa sa ust. Tinakbo namin yun, muka talaga kaming ewan kasi pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao, pero takbo pa rin. Ako may tendency na parang nagsusuka kapag tumatakbo, at konti nalang iiyak nako. Pero by the Grace of God hindi naman ako nagsuka. So nawawalan na kami ng pag-asa pagdating sa building namin, konti nalang napapaupo na kami sa hagdan, Wala na, tanggap na namin magrerecite na kami. Late na kami. Hindi kami nagbasa. Kaya 65 kami.

Pero biglang nakita namin yung ulo ng prof namin HAHAHA tinawag namin SEEEEEEEEERRRR chaka takbo nilagpasan namin siya ayun. Buzzer beat. Nauna kami sakanta and so hindi kami magrerecit HAHAHAH Thank you Lord!!

why?

why can’t we be happy for each other’s happiness? why are we making remarks of hate and bitterness to each other, with the intention of ruining one another’s glorious moments? why do we keep on hurting each other and even defend ourselves telling that “you started it”? why are we so selfish when it comes to sharing our measly stories, but don’t even bother to listen when it comes to the stories of dreams and instead judge each other’s worth? Why are we comparing our problems and even competing who has the most difficult time? And why the hell are we calling each other as “friends” when at the back of each other we act as “fiends”?

Power Verses!

God, forgive me for putting other things before You when I know You should always be my first priority.

“under the heavy neon spotlight, where everything is crystal clear. the illumination striking our skins strobing colors of the visible spectrum, until it reaches the glorious white the beating of the percussions the strumming of the strings, the low intonation of the bass, and finally the melodic rhythms, of where white and black keys lie. standing on our own passion spots; singing adoration and praises,  focusing everything to Him,  Who was, and is, and is to come. blazing fire within our hearts,  wide open hands raised above,  completely lost in worship , and forever will be.”

“Open rebuke is better than secret love.”

Proverbs 27:5 (via oasisofanoverthinker)

[oasisofanoverthinker-blog]

“God is not a puppet. Man may not pull strings and expect him to perform - not even doctrinally correct strings, such as Balaam tried to pull. God is not men’s servant, than a puny atheist may snout a challenge and he is bound to respond. Neither is God a genie, that if man is lucky enough to find the right combination of words, He will suddenly pop out and reveal himself. God is our Creator, all powerful and dwelling in light unapproachable…”

   As I was having my devotion earlier, I came across to one of the things Paul said. That is “Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace?” (Romans 6:1)

   So the moment I’ve read this my jaw dropped literally, since these was my exact thoughts at that time. It’s exactly what I need to know, the Lord answered my problem just as I was about to state it and ask Him. Thinking that maybe I should sin more and make it more unforgivable or heavy. So that I may appreciate God’s grace more, and that it would leave a heavier impact than just the sin of saying undesirable words or lying. Okay so I continue.. The answer is none other else than …“Of course not! Since we have died to sin how can we continue to live in it?” (Just because there is grace sufficient for every sin, does not give you a license to sin. Just because there is grace there for it, doesn’t mean you should take advantage of it.)*

   That hit me so hard, straight to my bone marrow. What was I even thinking? That was so wrong on many levels. For a true believer of God should not even think of intentionally sinning because he/she already left the sinful nature of his being. You can’t be both dead and alive at the same time. So every time one commits a sin, he would realize it quickly because he’s aware of it.  Besides, God knows our heart and that it’s not good to hurt him by sinning more just so you can please yourselves in thinking, “God might give his deeper grace to me if I sin more, I’ll just ask for forgiveness later”. Don’t try to justify your wrong doings, his grace is indeed enough for you to be forgiven. But it does not mean you should take advantage of it by nonchalantly sinning more! That’s just like a 4 year old kid trying to mess up the house just so he could get the attention of his parents and knowing he’ll be forgiven later on.

   Wew, I just want to thank God again for answering my problem. You could  never go wrong if you confide your problems to Him directly, instead of asking random people wherein the answer could lead you to further confusion or worse destruction. Remember, his grace is more than enough! Hallelujah!
