i forgot to write about what i learned from the clp yesterday, but i think it is relevant. we were sharing about loving your neighbor, and i was talking about how difficult i found it for me to love the poor. i feel like they weren't doing enough to help themselves, drinking themselves sick and having more children than they could afford to raise, etc, especially since that mishap we had with the drunkard last week. but then this girl started talking about how she read in the bible (in her own words) that no one said loving would be easy, because anyone can love those who are dear to them. even criminals do their vengeful acts because they love themselves too much, because they love their families, because they love their friends, so merely loving those we choose to love is not enough. oo nga naman. ang galing lang. it is true, and i should make an effort. the whole concept hasnt completely sunk into my brain yet, but at least the seed is there.
this evening, i was at a meeting with pyfp ncr because we were planning a project for nation-building. cant talk about it yet, but it makes me happy that were finally getting our feet wet at the very least. i really do pledge my commitment to this. it makes me happy that i can attempt to do my part.
i heard somewhere that the little trivialities (is this a redundancy?) are just colored bubbles. so lets just say that the whole depressing spell ive been through this week has been a bout with colored bubbles. lots of them.
i dont mind running into them i suppose. ill run OVER them. ahh. the smart way.
ive been thinking too that maybe God has heard some of my worries, or at least is listening in on my pity parties (although im the only one invited)...siguro he is fixing things so that i can begin becoming the person i want to be. i feel that he is. showing me that there are opportunities around.
at least. now my eyes are open.
good night world! big hug to you!
