The Mass This Morning
This morning Fr John Wong closed the mass this morning with a message, "Let us remember and do this for today; to see God's goodness in everything that we encounter and to be generous with our words to encourage others."

He talked about being children of light and children of day, that sometimes we can be children of light but forgot to be children of day. Well I can't remember the detail, was trying hard just now. I was too sleepy during the mass.

Actually I thought to myself when the alarm went on, if I get sleepy during the mass is not good. I will be there half conscious. But then a thought came to mind, if I don't go to mass today, I'll die. Haha. Dunno why.

Well, see God's goodness through creation and be generous in giving words of encouragement.

Walk Away
I have become a stranger which I do not like. I long for love and end up being someone unloving. What an irony. I hate myself. I wanna change but no power to change. Being me is a hardship for others. What a torment to the the soul. I guess the only thing I can do is just to walk away. God what do I need to do to be changed? Why can't I be good anymore?

Thank you Lord, for the clouds and everthing
This morning I read today's reading in the bus on the way to office. The reading was from Matthew 11:28-30 (link below). Just last night I screamed in my prayer and asked God to please help me with the challenges I'm going through right now, or even take it away if it's a distraction from being with Him. But one thing for sure, I've been struggling with what I'm feeling and thinking on some stuff, and yes it's tiring. If only that can help me loose some weight! Hah!

So this morning's reading was, for me, an invitation cum answer to my prayer. In the reflection article of word among us, we were asked to just let go and enjoy the time "basking in His love" even if it's only for a short while. And in the prayer part, the writer wrote "... I give you the problems I can't solve, the pain I can't heal, the desires and urges I can't control." That prayer super duper spoke on behalf of me! So I try to take that time and let go of my thoughts.

I was sitting in the company bus near the window. I looked up and amazingly I saw the sun covered by some clouds... I can see the edge of the sun. It looks like a light ball*. And then some group of clouds pass by and cover the sun. Then I realize... how amazing it is... to see such a massive area of cotton-like substance to fly around. I remember the sensation was like seeing a huge elephant walking slowly across the road in front of me. (remember the movie jumanji?) haha.

At that instant my heart was filled with joy and amazement. No human can do that! God can! And He, who is soooo big, can care about me who is soooo small.... He makes everything move, ticks, you name it. And He loves me... you and me... So yea.. just wanna thank God for his presence in my life, his words to start my day, the clouds that shows His wonders, the short moment of grace he has given me this morning and for the rest of the blessing that will come my way...

And for you who is reading this post... God bless you always =)

(*) if you know me, I like to see stars... so you can guess why this one experience interests me =P
