You are exactly where God wants you to be.

Are you the person who easily believes that a simple thing that has saved you from an impending danger is a miracle in itself? Or are you the one who readily shrugs a shoulder in saying that these things are mere coincidences?

I know of a few people who do self-examination or conscience examination every end of the day. For them, whatever has transpired for that day should be carefully reviewed, or they might miss even just a tiny detail that might spell a big difference in their life for the morrow. And since this requires reflection, it must then be a given that these people form part of the insightful and contemplative individuals.

Just a thought. I don’t know what I must have missed if I totally turned my back from the company where I am currently working. But you see? There’s no point of the wishful thinking, for what I am experiencing is simply inexplicable. I have met new friends (the new comers), and I have strengthened whatever bond that did exist loosely before. It’s quite simple. I wouldn’t have seen the real gem in each person’s heart if I chose to leave. Wonderful. I feel so blessed.

And I do agree that I am exactly where God wants me to be. Those people close to my heart have known the anguish I’ve been into upon the decision to resign. I prayed hard but to no avail. My resume is impressive (according to a company), but the doors seemed to remain locked. Now that I’m in full gear, one opportunity came after another. Was there regret? I couldn’t think of regretting.

True, there are still people who seem to be indifferent to me for no apparent reason. But then again, this number is just too little compared to those I have close ties with. Isn’t it a blessing then? God knows truly…
Now I am counting my blessings… they’re just too many to enumerate; that includes better relationships. Oh! And I should not forget the new players in my life. I mean, they came either to play a role in my life, or maybe to be a true part of my life.

Do you ever wonder why you are in the situation where you are now? What emotions and thoughts accompany your every stride? Think about them a hundred times. They are blessings, some in disguise, but mostly are pure graces from God.

Let us live our life attracting the good. And let us bear in mind that there is always a reason for everything. For one thing, we are exactly where God wants us to be.

Go on and risk everything, or go back and forget everything

Between now and tomorrow lie uncertainties, and that is where life’s paradox dwells. We are taught to work hard for something we want done. We start to believe that there is a somewhere where all dreams meet as one. We heed the signs that seem to lead us to that one destination. We ignore the hindrances to keep focused. There is nothing stopping us to move forward. And then we give our partial best in any area of our life. We live, laugh, and love to experience that momentary bliss. That is NOW. But tomorrow doesn’t come in quickly. In between the two is a small crack, a gap, where countless heavings and sighings are witnessed. This is that one instance when doubt suddenly crowds our hopeful minds. When we suddenly realize that we are not equipped enough for the battle that awaits us. It is when life’s crossroads are met. The end of the tunnel is seen, but the only thread of hope we are clinging into is as dark as a starless night. Negativities creep in and consume most of the powe...

A Spark of Hope

"As a painter or writer, you have to walk even dangerous waters in order to succeed more than the others."  - Frank Hilario Two weeks have passed and I haven't written any article yet. I missed writing, and I deeply sensed it; the circumstances were just too much for me to handle. And so I reclined on my self-imposed "busy state." Inquisitiveness led me into the blog site of a highly-respected man, Frank Hilario. I came upon his blog on a painting genius, whom he likened to a budding writer – full of dreams and full of hopes, but nevertheless realizing his dreams and seeing them come true. Reading further acquainted me with the man behind the paintings, Paul Hilario, the son of Frank Hilario. The latter's writings were written by a genius; the former's paintings were surreal; yes, these people are real. I talked to myself. I asked my heart. I conversed with my imaginary sage. All of them asked me how I was. I fell silent. All three guided me into this ...

Love. Trust. Pain. Forgiveness

March 30, 2013 – It was my special day then. After a series of birthday celebrations from one set of friends to another, my fellow young single ladies and I decided to follow the mob – and off we went to the movie house for the exciting romantic sequel of Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz’s “It Takes a Man and a Woman.” I remember myself being so curious of the story line. I kept asking myself: What is it this time? I eventually resigned and anxiously waited for the big twist. If being able to cry during the movie is equated with its high quality, then I would gladly give it two thumbs up. But then again, we don’t measure it through the amount of tears we shed. Love, trust, pain, and forgiveness have inhabited my mind since then. Love , for one, is bathed with mystery. It can break all impossibilities. It can bring you to the heights of human emotions that only those who are capable of loving can experience. It is enveloped with magic, with sweet promises, and with the laudable whisp...
