It's funny how I always talk about how fast time flies by with my friends. Usually, they would have this "Yes, I know, you always talk about that when we meet each other" face, accompanied by that smile that will eventually end up exploding into laughter. But the truth of the matter is, time indeed flies by so fast. Really. It's not an overstatement.
It's so fast that I can't seem to grasp-hold of everything that had transpired in the last couple of years. So fast that my last entry in this blog seemed to have been written only last Saturday. So fast that I still think that I'm that kid who can still pull off an "all-nighter" in the clubs. So fast that I forgot I am no longer 21.
A lot of moments have emerged from the last time I've written here. Right now, I can say that I am in a position where change has been my one and only avid companion. Writing this entry alone made me think that "Hey, didn't I just write about how 'It's been a while since it's been a while'? and now I am thinking about how IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE IT HAS BEEN A WHILE AGAIN?" I can't get over it actually.
If you really want to know the truth, God is change. He has been changing a lot of what I once believed and now, I think I have grown so much. I can really feel Him in me. His miracles and works.
Exhibit A:
It was my first time to complete a Misa de Gallo or what we famously call Simbang Gabi. They said that if you complete the 9 mornings, you're granted one wish and it will come true.
I didn't make a wish. I think it is superficial and it gives out an impression that you're only after the wish. I wanted to complete the Misa de Gallo because I wanted to have a spiritual healing that I had been longing for quite some time. I knew this was a way for me to get back to the heart of worship.
So I didn't make the wish. Instead, I asked God to just give me what my heart truly desires. What was my heart desiring for? A lot. And right now, I can say that he's given me so much more. I am happy. Very happy.
And right now, I still pray to Him and ask him to always bless the people around me. I asked for the power of motivation to keep me going and he gave me one. I asked for a lot of things, and one by one, I am realizing how present they are in my life right now.
Time flies by so much.
And it's really funny how God glides with it.
