Left Behind

31 December 2004

I gazed to the sky and found a star which shined so bright like a spotlight beaming on me. Then, I looked around and saw flashes of lights- blurred visions of faces. Some faces were familiar to me but some remained to be just faces. Nevertheless, they were all moving so rapidly that by simply watching them come from all directions made me nauseus.

I extended my arm to the highway of lights as one normally hails a cab. Nobody stopped. I frantically grabbed on to anything I saw hoping to get a piece of them so that I could say someday that they have been a part of me and I have been a part of them. To my dismay and disappointment, my hand returned nothing but air.

My sight becomes hazy. I closed my eyes and opened it again. Tears fell.

Now, it is clear. An ideal set-up: an acquaintance becomes a friend then a special friend. But in the real "crazy mixed up" world, an acquaintance could be a lover; a friend would just be a friend; and a special friend could be a secret enemy.

C'est la vie. People come and go.

I searched the sky for my star but it's no longer to be found. Dark clouds worsens the already gloomy night.

peace and contentment

24 December 2004

"...Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,

whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me-

put it into practice.

And the God of peace will be with you...

... I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,

whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength."(NIV)

Philippians 4: 5-13

Let us be reminded (most specially me) of these Words

if we feel anxious about the path we're pursuing or we plan to chase.

Let us pray for contentment in trying times like this

but it shouldn't refrain us from asking Him

the desires of our hearts.

God bless us, pips! :-D
