Today: How do we deal with Fear?

It's a whopping 9 months (parang nanganak lang!) since my last blog post! It was very long considering that I am very outspoken and loves to share a lot of things to people.

Several things and I don't want to explain in detail. *wink*

Let us just say that "A LOT" has happened in the past months that I had to prioritize the things that matters the most - MY FAMILY!

A LOT Means:
A - Amazing
L - Life Changing
O - Overwhelming
T - Tremendous

Events had happened!

After 9 months, I found the perfect blog post to start sharing again and it's very timely. I didn't think about it but it was given to me. It was given to me last Sunday, during mass and I feel blessed. 

Last Sunday's Responsorial Psalm it said:

 "The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with Joy".

The past months has literally been a roller coaster ride and it was not your smooth roller coaster ride. I meant: 

1. Real quick turns along the way
2. Some lose screws that had to be fixed
3. Rusty railings that made the ride slow
4. Unstable base
5. Unreliable coaster operator

And a lot more!

But despite those miseries and frustrations, the Responsorial Psalm reminded me (us) that after all that happened, hey, we should all be grateful because indeed the Lord has done great things for us.  When I thought about it, yes indeed, I received a lot of things from Him and to share the bigger ones: 

1. My family and I are all alive
2. We know how to take care of our health concerns
3. I have a very secured and stable job (bonus: that I love what I am doing!)
4. I have a great support system from my family and friends
5. I still see Life as a Journey and I have faith in humanity

My list is endless and I can't thank Him for making me and my family strong! 

Another thing that I would like to share was some of the things shared by Fr Randy Baluso (we had mass at Padre Pio Eastwood) and he shared a line from the movie After Earth. 

"Danger is Real, but Fear is a choice" 

This is so true! I can say this because of the circumstances that my family and I experienced.  No one will ever help us conquer fear but ourselves and so my take away is we have to be Larger than our Fear. 

Fr. Randy even shared two abbreviations od FEAR. 

Forget Everything And Run.
Face Everything And Rice. 

I would go with the latter. How about you??

I'm not busy, I'm just lazy!

Yes and I will not deny it! 

I am so guilty of procrastinating these past few weeks and I can't blame it to anything or anyone else but myself!  I know its not a good habit and so before I reached my one month procrastinating period -- I will end it now! 

My last post was about Pope Francis' visit here in the Philippines and how it touched my life -- it was just so sad that after that successful visit of Pope, a tragic incident happened next -- we all know about our Fallen 44.

Many have given their opinion and feelings about the incident and listening to all of them just makes me wonder and ask why these things are happening.  I know after we've all talked about it, we will all go back to our normal lives and I don't know how we will learn from all of these.. I guess we just have to pray (a little harder) not only for the President, for the SAF of PNP, for the victims, for the perpetrator BUT to all of us.  May we all be guided with the teachings of the Lord and that we all do good to others!! 

I wish nothing but the best for my country and countrymen. I am just an ordinary person but I know I can make a difference starting with my family!
