It's a mess, right, but it doesn't have to be messy

There are many messy events in the world, and one would just have to listen to the news everyday to know many tragic and sad details of it. But the sadder part of all is the fact that nobody is exempted in being in a mess.

Maybe, you too had your own mess today. You’ve failed someone, or on something, you figured with a conflict in the office, you got frustrated over an unmet expectation. Your list could probably go on.

But here’s something we have always to keep in mind regarding this. While it’s true that being in an unpleasant or messy situation is something we can’t escape from, we can of course prevent the situation from getting worse, by first of all responding to it the godly way. In the Christian perspective, we can learn that God’s grace is mostly evident in messy situations. God always offers hope in every seemingly impossible situations, He can bring out the best out from the worst, and He can provide help where we see helpless circumstances. You may be in difficult situation right now, but it’s not always like that. As what Psalm 121:1 says, lift up your eyes to God and in Him your help always comes from. You can turn to God, and call out to Him, bare out all your heartaches to Him, and He will listen to You, and heal you, and turns the situation in such a way that you will see His power, love, faithfulness and goodness.

Yes, it may be a mess, but it doesn’t have to be messy. Just be sure to allow God to work things out in your situation. :)

Sometimes, or perhaps most of the time for most, when love has not been reciprocated, remember this: It’s ok.  Love isn’t meant to be reciprocated.  It’s meant to be given and received by the recipient. That’s all.  The reciprocation is only icing on the cake.  Without it, love still is worth celebrating simply because in itself, love is good.  So many heartaches could have been relieved if we only truly embrace and live out this truth. Ang laing version kay.. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. #GugmaPaMore

What? Me? A Ghost?

I really had this weird dream last night.  Sure, I did have many other dreams since as far back as I can remember, but there are dreams that are just so disturbing they really stand out in one’s memory.  And last night’s was one of those. I dreamt that I was already a ghost, but I didn’t know it.  I still kept on spending time with my family and friends, talking with them.  I didn’t actually realize they weren’t able to see me.  But one day, for some reason, my older sister saw me (which turned out that I actually and supposedly let her see me), and she was the one who revealed that I’ve already died.  And I asked how I died, and she said I was hacked to death.  I was so shocked and scared at what she said, especially that I realize I didn’t remember being physically hurt.  I woke up in the middle of the night panting because of that.  And I remember asking myself while still in my dream, why wasn’t I in paradise?  Wasn’t that w...
