Time flies really fast.
I just turned 29 last March 27. I can’t believe it! I’m 29! ( I don’t feel like
29 --- and I don’t look 29 --- hahhaha!!!! --- I bet Nica will disagree…but
this is MY BLOG, okei! I feel like I am still in my youth…I’m young at heart!
Hoooray!!!!!!
Seriously, I again
entered a new chapter of my life, a new start, a new beginning of another
journey. I consider each year that has been added to my life a blessing from
God. It is a miracle that despite of all the perils around and the cost of
living today, still I am alive and continue fighting and surviving against
life’s difficulties and hardships.
At 29, I would like to
say that there are so many things that happened in my life and those made my
life colorful and meaningful. I have done a few good things in my life as well
as to the lives of other people. I know I had traced a smile on other people’s
face and had brought joy in their hearts.
But also, I had
undergone so much pain and lots of sufferings. I’ve been through a stressful
life and I’ve seen myself in various dilemmas. There were times that I had
nowhere to go and nowhere to run. And all I have to do is cry and hold on to my
faith. Life is really hard. I know the biggest and hardest problems have yet to
come…but I am always praying to the Lord that it would never come. I ask Him
not to give me burden I cannot carry.
At 29, I knew and felt
that life today is not easy and fine like before. One thing I learned in life
is to always keep on believing that God knows what’s good for us. He gives us
problems to test how deep our faith to Him. He allows us to suffer to know how
strong are we? All the things that cause us pain will never end. They add spice
to life.
At 29, I learned that
facing problems is a matter of attitude. If we think that we can surpass them
all, we will. Be optimistic in life. Suffering, hardships, trials, burden,
disappointments, depression, rejection and pain are all but part of this thing
called life. We should always stand up if we fall and always try hard if we
fail. We cannot please everybody. There are people who will always criticize
you…who will always look for what you cannot do. At times, they find fault with
your deeds. (The hell…who cares about them…I have a life of my own and I know I
am different from them!)
Remember there is
always another side of life. There is beauty in life. If you look around you
will see a lot of them. You yourself is a manifestation of life’s beauty. Just
always count your blessings and believe me you’ll never stop counting for they
are endless.
At 29, I would like to
continue the battle of my life. And I know that life will offer me many
beautiful things. I have my family and they are enough reason for me why I
should be very strong and firm. They are my strength and I live for them
because I love them so much!
At 29, I never stop
dreaming. I never stop believing that life will always be beautiful. I never
get off my grip with the hands of the LORD. I always hold on to Him. I never
stop learning. I know that many good and bad things will surely cross my road,
but they don’t matter to me as long as they make me a better person. A person
with principle, a person that is tough and a person with a heart.
