It's been a while since my last update. It means I have been very busy with my journey and it is only tonight that I got a chance to just sit down, reflect, and review the past few months.
My journey has been going through ups and downs, rough and smooth, joy and tears. Things just happen unpredictably and I love how exciting they actually go. I have been VERY BUSY traveling around and doing a lot of things for work to deliver my work demands. Those are very exciting and new experiences, so there was so much joy and fun. I met new people and witnessed awesome stories of inspiration. I am getting more adjusted to the nature of my work, my work environment, and my work mates. Those are the ups, and I think you can easily imagine it. WORK as you were CALLED. I knew beforehand that this is exactly where God has called me to work, and everything is just perfect.
So, there goes the downs too... things that are painful, and will bring you to tears along the way... Recent experiences just taught me very important lessons.
What I realized is that, even if you open your eyes to understand each one better, not all of them would treat you back the same. Because most of the time, people judge you based on their own experiences and culture. So, if their experiences are pretty much limited, and yours is a little bit broad, they'll end up judging with the limitations they have. No blame to those people, but now I know I need to be more aware and self-conscious. I just had to learn it the painful way. That's the stubborn love of God... You learn things harder when they're worth remembering well :)
I also feel so bad about the victims of the recent typhoon that hit my country. Many of the victims were also victims of last year's typhoon and haven't fully recovered yet. I wonder how much trauma the children experienced.... I pray for YHWH's mercy for my country.
And my journey will still continue... this is just a brief summary of what I've been up to lately. Or, what my journey had for me lately :)
Peace!

| And here's another interesting update! Just recently experimented on agreeing to pose for advertising a weekly theological talk at a seminary. It was fun and exciting, and the first tryout shoot turned well :P (says the photographer). I don't know if I'll pick modelling as a career, though. I love eating! |
