You are there. I am here. We are where we are supposed to be.

 

Haven’t you realized we are where we are supposed to be? We are where we are because we are supposed to be here and not anywhere else..

Most people sometimes wish they are somewhere else other than the place or situation they’re in, sometimes also wish they’re with someone else other than the one they’re already with.. I am one of those people. I have always wished I am somewhere else, sometimes even wish I were somebody else. But as I think about it now, maybe it’s true that where I am, who I am with, is where God wants me to be, and the company I keep is the people He really wants me to be with.

“There are no accidents” says master oogway to shifu in the movie Kung Fu Panda.

Things happen because it is supposed to happen –neither by bad nor good luck. Good things happen because we are supposed to enjoy it; bad things happen because we are supposed to experience and learn from it. Favorable things come to us not because we are nature’s favorable one, nor unfavorable things happen because we are not special.

Regrets. Some time in life, we regret the past, not realizing that it’s because of the past that we are able to enjoy everything we are enjoying in the present. Regretful events happen, because it is supposed to enter our life once in a while.. to teach us to be thankful.

Take for example this: Some people think they’re not as good-looking as the other people they know. Is this because they are supposed to be less of what others are? NO. They may think that way, but I believe that odd things are there because other people are supposed to see the beauty in them.

All things happen because it is supposed to make us learn one thing: that whatever situation we’re in, it’s where God plans and wants us to be, and we just have to recognize it is His Will.

 

God’s Will over Our Choices.. ^^ (sana i made sense)

weeks ago we had a meaningful topic during our “wednesdays with wesley”.. it was about “how to tame your tongue” and one of the ways to tame it is to keep or avoid telling lies.. what’s nice about “wednesdays w/ wesley” is we are able to argue on something, get our points straight, learn how to listen to what each and every one has to say..

Soc presented a situation that made us all think: “pano kung merong mga taong kumatok sa bahay niyo, hinanap ang tatay mo.. alam mo na papatayin nila tatay mo pag nalaman nila kung asan ito.. eh alam mong nasa loob lang ng bahay niyo un tatay mo.. ano gagawin mo? would you lie and tell them you dont know where your father is? Or would you tell the truth and tell them ‘andun po nanunuod ng tv sa kwarto niya’?”

simple scenario, but tough.. may mga nagsabi na parang let God’s Will be Done.. meron namang nagsabi na shempre tatay ko un, hindi ko ituturo kung asan.. at isa ako sa mga sumagot nun.. my point was this.. tama rin naman na i-save mo ang tatay mo, at tama rin nman ang magsabi ng totoo.. para kase skin, hindi na siguro BigDeal ang magsinungaling sa ganung situation.. hindi naman siguro ako itatakwil ni God for lying/saving my father.. tama ba? sa lahat ng situation kase, meron kang choice..

walang “No Choice” sa mundo.. it will still always be a question of “to choose or Not to choose”.. tama na i-submit mo lahat kay God (as what wesley said), and it’s always a choice of “Let God’s Will be done” or Let mY Will be done” (na sabi nman ni mickey)..

for me.. this is what i realized nights ago.. sa pilahan ng jeep pauwi.. mag-iisang oras na kase akong nakapila.. ilan lang sa mga nakapila ang nagdesisyon na umalis nlng dahil muka nmang wala ng darating na jeep.. at ako, nag-iisip na rin.. sabi ko “let Your Will be done, Lord”.. pero, bigla ko naisip.. how will i know what God’s Will is, if i don’t make a move?

i had to make a choice.. people have to make a choice para malaman nila what God’s Will is..

hirap iexplain pero.. can’t you see.. it’s all God’s Will.. whatever we decide on.. whatever choice we choose, meron nang nakahandang Will si God for us..

sa situation na inexample ni Soc, at sa paghihintay ko ng jeep..or let’s say sa everyday life natin.. we all have to make a choice and for every choice we make we simply have to entrust whatever will happen next kay God.. and i think that’s what “Let God’s Will Be Done” means..

sana i made sense..
