les petits trésors et les grandes prières

Best Blogger Tips

de deux extrémités



J'ai juste écrit plus tôt sur le devotional quotidienne que j'envoie sur les trésors. J'ai écrit sur la collecte et la thésaurisation. Si nous ne recueillons pas ce qui est bon pour nous il peut endommager nous beaucoup.

J'ai mes propres collections personnelles. J'ai mes montres, j'ai mes bracelets, j'ai mes chaussures, j'ai mes chemises, mes jeans, mes livres. Les petits trésors dans la vie qui me rendent heureuse. « Couronnes » pour chaque réussite qui je crois ont besoin d'une célébration pour. Je ne suis pas vraiment dans les expériences mais plus sur des choses tangibles. Cependant, j'ai appris que dans la vie, c'est l'expérience qui comptent le plus. Je peux seulement porter une paire de chaussures à la fois. Le temps est précieux. Et je suis frustré par le fait que le temps est un luxe que je souhaite, j'ai eu. Je suis pressé partout. J'ai un délai à respecter pour les expositions d'art, j'ai un calendrier personnel à la fin de peintures et de perdre du poids. Et aussi dans une voiture, maison et femme (et qui ne signifie pas que c'est dans cet ordre). Plus important encore, j'ai appris que Dieu est en contrôle de tout. Bien que je sois anxieux vers les désirs de mon cœur, je sais que pour un fait qu'il est là pour donner lorsque je suis prêt. Dieu, veuillez me préparer avec les étapes que je vais prendre bientôt. Veuillez être avec moi si mon cœur sera brisé, ou ensemble. Je t'aime.

Thea + Trauma. I'm sorry.

Best Blogger Tips





Here’s Thea. You pronounce her name as spelled or in our local tongue “Tia.” She’s such a lovely dog. She’s a mix breed: Husky and a smaller breed (Chihuahua? I’m not sure). She’s very friendly with women. But with men, she hides. Here’s her story as told by my friend Jennie:

When she was a pup, she and her siblings were abused by your typical “manong” caretaker while the owners weren’t looking. When the puppies would howl (since part of them were Husky) or bark (since some were of the other smaller breed), they would spanked really hard. It’s their nature to howl. It’s their nature to bark. They don’t know any better since they were puppies. And if I’m not mistaken, some even died because of the abuse. So Thea, who got adopted (thank goodness), has always been afraid of men. Especially the ones who look like your typical “manong” carpenter or house boy.

Jennie says “it’s just like any woman. You hurt them enough, or mistreat them, they end up hiding from the hurt and sometimes we just go to our room just like Thea.” I said back “I apologize for all the guys who hurt you. And Thea.” We end up laughing and she says “good thing she’s starting to approach you, she can tell you’re not bad.” It’s a good sign I think.

Thea’s story reminds me of stories of friends who experienced trauma in different forms. A loss in the family or loved one, abuse by others, heart break, misunderstandings, and all the sort. Well, since this is public, I’d like to say I am sorry for those I may have caused some traumatic experiences to. I’m sorry if I didn’t try hard enough. I’m sorry if I became selfish. I’m sorry if it seems I just disappeared. I’m sorry for the excuses I make to justify my holding back from truly giving everything. I’m sorry for the hurt I caused. I am still learning to balance things since I  guess, I’ve been hurting too with all the insecurities I have from the traumatic experiences I went through too. But that’s just another excuse. I will one day let go of my excuses, and just give. And do what is right.
