My Birthday Wish

I am sharing to you this birthday wish of mine. ♥ 

        The recently concluded year 2013 has been a blessed one for me (wherein I had celebrated my 33rd birthday 2 days before it ended). Although there were heart-rending situations that moved me to tears & crushed my heart, I still consider what happened as part of God's plans for all of us - there were no words such as complaints or objection but only "Thanksgiving" that came out of my mouth because amidst many troubles & heartaches, God has been there comforting & giving me strength to accept and comprehend His mighty will. I have been posting sorrowful expressions about my Uncle's death but one thing's for sure, my heart rejoices because I know he's now at rest, free from pain (colon cancer) and peacefully waiting for God's glorious reward someday.

       I praise God for everything! My loving husband, Jay and sweet son, Carl inspire me to live happily despite all the pains, failures and losses. The Lord is the fountainhead of my strength and hope; my family is the wellspring of my happiness. I have loved ones, relatives and friends who make my life more meaningful and purposeful for the past years. 2014 marks another opportunity-filled year of new experiences and memories to be shared with them. As mentioned here in my short poem, there's nothing that I want to ask for myself; but for others, I do fervently pray especially for the bereaved family of my Uncle Evan. May His wife who's terminally ill with breast cancer and his brokenhearted children be comforted and healed. 

       May the good Lord grant My Birthday Wish not only for my loved ones who endure sickness and pain but for everyone across the world who feel and suffer the same. May this new year be a more blessed one for all of us!

Thank you for giving time to read my blog, may this post inspire you!

Healing - a lifetime process

The past is where we store all our troubles, disappointments, failures, losses and pains. We live at present to start life anew as we try to forget the things and situations that hurt us terribly. We go through tough healing process that every tomorrow promises to extend whenever we are still wounded and broken. 

Life is an uphill climb, there's always struggles. We strenuously and persistently move upward regardless of how rocky and steep the path is. Along our exhausting journey, we are pained and wounded by different kinds of obstacles but we never stop ascending. As we pause sometimes to breathe and relax, we tend to cure our bruises and injuries so as to continue this life's indefinitely-long trek. 

Despite what we experienced through the way we have passed, we are still determined to go up and get closer to the top. Sometimes we may look back to realize how far we have gone and compliment ourselves for what we have accomplished. As we recall the former things and experiences we have left behind, we either smile or cry. We smile at those which caused scars that completely faded but we still cry at those which traces of wounds have not disappeared yet. For this, I realize that HEALING IS A LIFETIME PROCESS. As we continue to live, we are bound to get hurt and suffer pain again and again. Time heals all our wounds one at a time and surely each will find cure depending on its depth and damage.

(My uncle's death was the most painful memory that bothers me all the time. Whenever we bring it up in our daily conversations, I always find myself wiping tears from my eyes. In this life, that's the deepest wound I ever had. I just hope & pray God will heal me, I mean us....all of us who love and miss him so much)
