Gusto ko nang matulog

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Grabe, nakakagimbal ang aking schedule. Eng 10 concept paper revision, group report sa Env Sci 1, term paper sa Kas 1, readings sa LG cluster workers, at marami pang iba. Inaamin ko, ako’y na-shock (shocks!) sa aking mga ginagawa at kailangang gawin ngayong 2nd semester - sa school, sa church, sa work. Nagkaroon na nga ako ng short-termed memory gap to a certain degree. I have spread myself too thinly. Mag-leleave muna ako sa iba kong work load.

But think of it. Such hecticity (Is there such a word?) of schedule is a challenge for me to get used to being organized in time spacing and balanced in giving effort. I need to sit back and assess the sitwasyon. Kailngan mag-analyse ng mga gagawin work trabahoooooooooo at iwwwasssaaann ang ppaaaaaaaagiggggggginggg iiiiimpulsssssivvvvvvvee. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Where is God when it hurts?

Read this first:

He Knows My Name 
I have a Maker,      He Formed    my heart
Before even time began my life was in    His hands




 




He knows my name
He knows my every thought


He sees each tear that falls and hears me when I call




 

I have a father, He calls me his own


He'll never leave me, no matter where I go


 

He knows your name


He knows your every thought


He sees all those tears that fall


And He'll hear you when you call


These lines from this song by Tommy Walker is a doubt for many people. That group of people may include you. Does God really know what is happening to me? If God loves me and he knows what my situation is, then why am I still like this? My answer to the two previous questions is

(1) Yes, God knows what is happening to you. He knows everything. See Ps. 139

(2) God loves you, yes. See John 3:16. John 3:16 is a manifestation of God’s character of love. It is also said in the Bible that God is love. Now why are you still in that situation? It seems to you that God doesn’t care? Perhaps your senses are dull at this moment. Keep on praying to God. Earnest and heartfelt prayers, humble and broken hearts, and a God-yielding decision will help. Keep on asking God in the said manner. Your situation may not change NOW but I am sure; yes, I am sure that GOD WILL HELP YOU if you continue to have earnest and heartfelt prayers, a humble and broken heart, and a God-yielding decision - a decision to live for God with his help.

Game Over? Not yet.

Al Gore lost the presidency to Bush years ago. He said something like this. That what happened was really a hard blow - but - he must make the best of it. You see, falling down isn’t the end. It is a beginning - to fix, to rebuild, to continue. Yes, we do fail. But we need to continue to fulfill the purpose of God. Ask the right heart. Pray for wisdom. Do not doubt God’s promises. Take it step by step, whether the recovery must be by giant leaps or by small steps.

Read Hebrews 12

Blank again.

Well, it is about 10:20 pm and I don’t have a concrete topic to work with. The concept paper is due tomorrow. Guess I have to work overnight again. I accepted the fact that I really need to arrange my schedule, my heart, and my tickler (reminder notebook). Ha. Anyway, the state of being able to shift to BS BAA is coming closer and closer. I really want to shift. Ha. Ingat!
