Last Saturday was a blast - yun oh napa-english tuloy! Actually,
yung araw na yun ay super blessed. I've met new friends, found new raket na nagbigay
sakin ng new goals sa buhay. Bagong kaibigan plus bagong experience, yan ang
isa masarap na parte ng paglalakbay natin.
VICTORY CHURCH GREENHILLS Singles Ministry a.k.a Hardwired presents:
"STYLE MO BULOK:
Let God write your pick-up lines."
Ang totoo hatak lang ako dito, rektang isinama ng bago
kong friends. Wala akong ideya kung anong gagawin namin, basta sama lang ako ng
sama. Pagka-pasok pa lang sa venue ang cute na sa pakiramdam. Parang
nasa live talk show lang tulad ng Kris TV. May mga ini-interview na couples at
may acoustic performance din, pahabol na kilig for love month. Nung una sa
celepono lang ako nagte-take down notes, kaso sa sobrang dami ng napupulot kong
words of wisdom at quotable quotes ay di na ko nakatiis ilabas ang dooble book
ko para dun isulat lahat. Feel na feel ko ang pagiging single ko at that point
at mas naintindihan ko ang season na ito ng aking buhay. Swak
na swak ang mga advices at shared experiences ng mga couples at ng pastor na
talaga namang dumaan sa matinding pagsubok in the name of love.
WORDS of WISDOM and MY REFLECTIONS
"Clear your motives when
you are entering a courtship or a relationship."
Hindi ito yung larong "try
ko nga tong ligawan pag nag-OO ehdi okay kapag hindi ehdi hindi" - you're testing the water men. You
should be decided and determined when it comes to serious courtship and
relationship. Yung tipong hindi mo yun ginawa dahil lang trip mo kasi at the
end makakasakit ka lang o masasaktan ka lang. If ever you're confused sa umpisa
pa lang, the best thing to do is to seek God's guidance and wisdom. Let Him
lead the way and decide for you. If you like or love him/her, so be it! Clear
your motives, make sure of your gestures and actions para hindi ka
ma-misinterpret at ma-misunderstood, lalo na kung alam mong umaasa siya sayo.
Pwede mo naman sabihin sa kanya na ito
tayo, hanggang dito tayo, ito gusto ko, ito ang pagtingin ko sayo, period. Or if you're the other way round, ask
him/her on a nice way kung ano yung feelings niya sayo o kaya observe common sense na lang. Mahirap sabihin yung mga ganung kasaklap na bagay. But not all of us can read between
the lines, minsan oo, pero we're still confused of which is which. What hurts
sometimes are those words left unspoken. Although action speaks louder than
words, words are undeniably powerful. Notice how God's words/voice can change
your life? So be careful of your words because it represent your thoughts
and your motives. On the other hand, Be careful of your actions because it
reflect your personality.
"For girls, guard your
heart and your emotions."
Girls are assuming, natural na
to sa mga babae. Tipong nagtext lang si guy ng something eh feeling "crush niya ko agad" na, or konting lay down lang ni
boy mega status na sa fb ng in a
relationship #eksaherada
lols. This is because girls are emotional, easily get affected and get touched.
Pusong mamon - pusong babae. That's why we have to be accountable on our
emotions. Guard your heart using your other senses. Do not stick with your
emotion alone, paganahin ang girl's instinct #hanubeh. Don't be attached too
much to someone you aren't sure of. If you're in doubt, don't settle. If you're
not ready, don't get steady as well. Wag na wag mong isusuko ang spratly island
teh! Although nakakakilig talaga kasi kahit ako hindi ko maipagkaka-ilang
ganito din ako. Minsan akala natin siya na yung gusto natin, pero
hindi pala "nadala lang ng emosyon". While discerning your heart
desires pray for God's will. More like a father, he's more than willing to
protect you. For boys, be careful with girls' emotions.
"Offer your singleness to
God."
Madami sa mga single - bitter. Di ko sila
masisi sa mga pinagdaanan nila, dumaan din ako sa kantong yan. Pero
later on na-realize ko na if you surrender your self to God, He will transform
your bitterness to BETTERness.
Trust your walk with God. Seek first his love and you will be fulfilled. Sabi
nga ni Yeng Constantino "It's Jesus alone that can fulfill me". Be a
better person while waiting for the right one to come. Lagi tayo naghahanap ng
gwapo/maganda, mabait, maunawain, ma-alaga, malambing at iba pa. Pero kung
titingnan mo we/ourselves cannot carry out all of these things. Kaya naman God
puts us into a series of tests to make us better persons. Offer your single
life to God, and he will give it back double and overwhelming... in tagalog,
Kung ibibigay mo ang sarili mo sa kanya, maaaring bukas makalawa ibalik niya
itong may kasama na - ang iyong better half, siksik liglig at umaapaw pa.
Sa dami kong napulot na wisdom at nabuong reflections, ito muna sa ngayon.
Baka ma-umay kayo sa isang bagsakan. Hindi pa naman tapos ang love month, kaya
lulubusin ko na ang pagpo-post ng mga gento-gento.
To be continued...
