The events of the last few weeks have sapped my energy.

Myanmar. China. And now the RCBC bank robbery.

So many lives lost. Too many bereaved parents. So many orphaned children.

Suddenly, so many widows.

Yes, life is difficult. Worldwide. But when you think it could be worse, you stop and count your blessings.

Still. So much sadness. I think of all those children. All those parents. I do not question God but I cannt help but feel sad.

I hope they catch those murderers. You have to be insane to do something as grisly as that.

Say a prayer please for all the lives lost these couple of weeks. May they find the comfort and the courage to move on.

In my own life, two people, very dear to me, struggle with major health issues. I think of them constantly, keep them close in prayers. I ask God to wrap them both under His mantle. Many things in life are so hard to understand. When one cannot see His hand, you just have to learn to trust His heart. All for a reason, always.

When things like these happen, you realize that life is too short to be petty. Really. There’s so much going on in the world.

Then you also appreciate that life is short and that you must do things that will impact others, no matter how small. Impact their lives in positive ways. Spend time with the people that you love and create those “perfect moments”.

I’m tired. And hormonal. I know how to kick back my heels and enjoy myself but lately, I’ve just had no patience for “kababawan” and seemingly affected people. People of the lie as M.Scott Peck calls them. Patawad po. Girl, so many people are hungry and sick and dying out there. Lord, stretch my patience please. This too, shall pass.
