We just had our Life in the Spirit Seminar. It was a two-day experience (just this weekend) and from it I realized (with the help of the sharers, my shepherd tita ana and father ed) many things. We might know some of them but then again, maybe we just take them for granted and forget the good things in life. I realized how I am really loved by God, that despite my so called trials and hardships, they were nothing compared to others'. I feel so blessed to be loved by parents, family and friends, hated by nobody (I hope). My daily needs are fulfilled though I still have many complaints of the littlest things. I used to be so mababaw. I get annoyed easily without knowing why I am such. But now, I will try to be more thankful for the many blessings I receive. I will really try to be a transformed person, after realizing how God really loves me despite my many imperfections. He is indeed the perfect friend.
Also, these past few days I also learned how to appreciate silence. We all know that in the present, we haven't been really experiencing such silence (especially if you live in a city). Sister also asked from us that we try to maintain silence during our LSS sessions even when we get home (no tv, no media that might distract us). I am always alone in our condo during nights that is why I maintain some kind of noise that will somehow un-distract me (what an irony), so I either turn on the tv or itunes.. Aside from somehow, being afraid of the idea of being alone, I just really can't stand that silence.
Speaking of silence, we're all praying now for the soul of our batchmate who just passed away this afternoon. He is a good person and once became a part of my life. It's just so sad, but then again, we just have to hand him over to God now.
Well, I cried too much today and I guess it's enough. I know, I am such a crybaby (not scared to admit!). Sometimes with no apparent reason, but I am just always deeply moved especially if it regards my loved ones. So there.
I just wish I could still stand a 'prayerful silence' despite the noise in this world. I can't believe how much I missed it all this time :)
<b>It's all about the attitude, baby!</b>
