Blogs from Jupiter

Ahhh… at last, an opportunity to update my Friendster blog. It felt like a million years since the last time I visited this. Been crazy and toxic lately. Done stupid things for the past months. But all is well… so far, so good. Let us say, I went through a big crisis. Big time! It was one helluva roller coaster ride. At that time, I just want the earth to swallow me alive. I was down, really down.

But life is good. The Good Lord is, of course, truly good. Because if not for this faith, which is all I got, I could have done something more stupider. Now, all I can say is life goes on… things happen for a reason… and all these shall pass… and it did pass.

I cannot say that I have fully recovered. I am still healing the wounds that I have created. Not only self inflicted wounds, but wounds I inflicted onto others. I’ve put a lot of people down. I have disappointed all of you.

I am but human. We are all but humans. I am not washing my hands from the wrong that I have committed. And whether I like it or not, I am responsible for my actions.

God has His ways of trying to correct what was wrong. Sometimes, we have to go through the thick of things. He talks and warns us through situations,  accidents and signs, using people to convey His message… almost like He is talking to us loud and clear… and He is telling you… it’s coming… it’s coming… and I told you so, you have been forewarned.

Aaargghhh!!! That was one painful! Painful! Painful! Bump. It was too late.

On the other hand, it is never too late. Because there are such virtues such as hope, grace, mercy and forgiveness. And if you come to realize them, there is this spirit to fight and the willingness to survive, which we call courage.

I just realized that time is a gift along with acceptance and prudence. And if you are given the gift of time, you could start all over again. I am at that stage, starting from scratch. If you have time by your side, you could right what was not right. If you have time by your side, you could make the best out of the worstiest situations. Take it from me who almost lost everything. Yeah… believe it or not, I almost went bare and naked.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to on how you humbled yourself in the midst of life’s storms.
