Today is the start of the holy week. As a Christian country, it has been a customary that we pause and observe the commemoration of the very foundation of our Christian faith.

We may have different ways on how we celebrate it. Some follow the religious and conservative way. Some may be just taking the opportunity for a vacation. Nevertheless, let’s not be the judge of if there’s a proper way to do anything for that matter. In this case what I do know is that we should at least “remember”.

On a different note, one of the sweetest memories I have is the photo with Minette, Sherille and Ferdie. It’s the last Christmas party we had as officemates. We have no idea that it will be our last together but I guess it doesn’t matter because even if we are far away, real friends are always and forever will be friends. More than distance, it’s the chance you took by knowing that person and the commitment you’ve made to your self which makes it worthwhile and special. Just like any relationship, it takes communication, understanding, patience, time and faithfulness to keep it.

In this journey, only some that have seen us in our best and worst of times will accept and choose to stay.

No matter how difficult our challenges may be, we have no choice but to face it. We may not be able to comprehend it, we just choose to believe that there’s a far greater reason for everything. And, just like anything else in this world, this too shall pass.

We are not always the main characters. We have done some things that have affected and caused pain to others as well. Some we may be aware of. Some may just be insignificant to us. But for those who matters to us, we ask for forgiveness. In our effort to be a better person, even if it’s not asked, we also try to forgive… Either way, it’s not easy. But it’s something that God has already placed before us.

When it’s not okay, we can tell ourselves “It’s not going to be by your might. It’s not going to be by your power. God said it’s going to be by His Spirit.” Pray.
