i went inside the church light-hearted. i noticed that there was a vigil (on the sorrowful mysteries) going on. i decided to stay at the farthest end of the church, knelt down and joined in the invitation to reflect. the scourging at the pillar video started to roll. while Jesus was being scourged, i saw his eyes looking directly at me. i looked back at Him, then not having the heart to see His pain any longer, i closed my eyes as tears started to fall like a flowing river. at the farthest end of the church, i stayed on bended knees and cried like a scared little girl.
amidst the church full of people, i cried my heart out.
sad tears.
hurting tears.
hopeful tears.
trusting tears.
thankful tears.
happy tears.
hindi pa rin Kita lubusang maintindihan. pasensya na kung minsan hindi ko pa rin maiwasan mag tanong. pasensya na rin kung hanggang ngayon mahigpit pa rin ang yakap ko sa aking mga nakagisnang ligaya. kilala mo naman ako ng lubos. alam kong alam mo na pinipilit kong mabuhay sa bagong nakalaan sa akin. alam mo kung ano ang nasa stubborn kong puso. ano man ang plano para sa akin, susunod pa rin ako. dahan dahan lang, darating ako dyan.
salamat sa mga pagkakataon na nasaktan ako, mas natuto ako kung papaano mag mahal ng lubos at walang kapalit. salamat sa mga pagkakataon na natakot ako, mas natuto akong palayain ang aking sarili at magtiwala sa pagmamahal mo. salamat sa mga pagkakataon na nadapa ako, sa mga relapse, rewind, u-turns, stop overs, mas natuto akong tanggapin ang aking pagiging tao. mas natuto akong pahalagahan ang buhay at patawarin ng paunti-unti ang aking sarili. salamat sa bawat pag pagkakataon na makita ang araw at buwan, mas nararamdaman ko ang pagkakataon na mas maging mabuting tao para sa'yo. salamat sa mga taong patuloy na nagpapahalaga sa akin, mas naramdaman ko na maraming biyaya sa buhay ko, hindi man ako buo ngayon.
hindi ako hihingi ng lubos, hangad lang ng puso ko na panatilihin mong nasa mabuting kalagayan ang lahat ng mahal ko sa buhay. hindi ko rin hihingin ang mga nawala na sa akin, hangad ko lang na panatilihin mo silang masaya sa araw-araw. hindi na rin ako hihingi ng lubos na kaligayahan, dahil naranasan ko na iyon minsan. sapat na iyon para mag patuloy ako at maghangad ng mabuti sa iba.
keeping the fire burning |
pipilitin kong mas maging mabuti para sa Iyo at sa kaharian mo. pipilitin kong maging malaya para sa pagmamahal na alay mo. at pipilitin kong mag mahal ng paulit ulit para hindi masayang ang pagligtas mo sa aking kaluluwa.
maraming salamat sa pagmamahal na patuloy na inaalay mo sa akin.

MYAngligaw: sharing this to you a song.
ReplyDeleteNo words are left now to be spoken
When all my promises are broken
And all excuses i have used in justifying
My actions move me so much closer to the fire
But now i know
Seems i've lost my soul
Make me and take me
Can you find me in this world
I've chosen and never let me go
Hold me and mold me
And if there's no other way
To make me whole
Go ahead and break me
Then remake me
Hold it on i won't give up
Coz i know you wont give up
On me
Grow weary of my ways pretending
Showing i'm okay when i am hurting
But now i know
Time to find my soul
Make me and take me
Can you find me in this world
I've chosen and never let me go
Hold me and mold me
And if there's no other way
To make me whole
I've been too proud
And now i don't know where to go
And like the son who came back home
Im giving you my life
My mind, my heart, my soul
I'm trusting you enough to break me
Then to make me whole
Can you find me in this world
I've lost and never let me go
Hold me and mold me
And if there's no other way
To make me whole
Go ahead and break, break me
Gently remake me
Hold it on i won't give up
Coz i know you won't give up
You're never givin up on me
No, no, no, no ,no
You're never givin up on one like me
be safe always:)
