For in HIM

If I can thank the stars
Of weariness and battle
Of hope and courage
Too far yet too dear.

If I can bear at this moment
All the rigors happening to me
No matter how full my heart is
Or how dark that moment may seem.

If I can remain tranquil and unspoken
With the world shutting me off
Sheltered in the knowledge that God believes in me
When everyone else seems to doubt me.

If I can open my eyes feeling better
Than I was for a fair while
Only because I begin to understand
We all have bad times and we all have the strength to get through them.

If I can but continue to believe
What I hold in my heart to be true
That I will be walking towards the brighter light
And that this will come to an end, too soon.

Then and there
Nothing can overthrow me
For as long as this knowledge stay behind
I can come out the other end and feel a little empowered.

For I’m certain when all the troubles weigh heavily in my shoulders
Beneath them I can rise above
Because He will never give me
More than I can handle.

For I’m certain He will clear the chains
Binding me to the dim path
For tomorrow is always a new dawn
And I know that my morning is close at hand.

For I’m certain about
One truth to which I can always cling
I’m safe in His care and there is no need for seeing
For in Him I live and move and have my being.

Fixing the eyes

So their midnight conversation ended with an exchange of "good night." And there my heart, broken into shattered pieces. In an instant. At the most untimely time.  I didn't know where on this world had I drawn the courage to endure reading as each message kept on popping up as they recalled their past when I could have just closed my laptop right away so as not to let the piercing pain get through.  But I silently endured it up to their very last words while my heart was ruthlessly ripped away leaving it to smithereens.  I could have just flare-up in anger because silence was not my nature. To keep my mouth shut was never my kind. But, right at that moment, that voice, though a whisper compared to my slam-bang clatter, was a crystal clear I ought not to resist.  I knew it was God who tamed my waiting-to-explode emotions. He compelled me to be silent. To pour such dark cloud of despair to Him, even up to the rising of sun.  So what happen...

Mountain lessons

2 lessons Mt. Talinis imparted to me: 1. It pays to LOOK BACK When the whole group reached the outpost after 4 hours of hiking up and down, over rocks, across streams and swamps, they decided to settle there. However, Me and my classmate (bro Kyle Windsor) thought of attempting to continue the trail and hike all the way up to have a glimpse of the lake and eventually summit Mt. Talinis. Compared to what we've gone through from the bottom to outpost, the trail from that point to up was far difficult and challenging because the path gets too tricky. Your moves have to be cautioned according to the ascending climb and indeed it was no easy feat. My body especially my legs begun to ache. That was the time when the seemingly competition was between me and the one inside my head. "I'm not going to make it. I'm not strong enough." On the way up, it was so easy to give in to these anxiety demons and just stop the whole track. How I have overcome the mental chorus...

Ripple effect

Sometimes, all it takes is a heart that does not measure But only knows how to willingly give. That way, perhaps, The world can hear a perfect symphony of peace. Sometimes, all it takes is a mind that does not settle at boundaries But courageously dives into the deep waters, plunging into it, And discovering real treasures only found in the littlest of things. That way, perhaps, The world can know simplicity. Sometimes, all it takes is an eye that does not judge But rather looks behind the physical that reveals a humble beauty ready to sprinkle the light that will shine above the rest. That way, perhaps, The world can realize how beautifully created it was. Sometimes, all it takes is an ear that does not just hear But earnestly listens to what the lips plead. That way, perhaps, The world can withstand pain. Sometimes, all it takes is a mouth that does not carelessly reject And unwittingly use the most scathing words But rather speaks for...
