Look Ma, I learned!
Tumblr media
I am making this to make a remembrance of my mom and all that I have learned so far since she’s gone (background song: Carrie Underwood’s See You Again). Like how the song said, we just said goodbye and turned around, then she was gone. Today is the exact 6th month since the accident and the night that our family never could’ve imagined to happen. Also, it was a Thursday.. still I am having physical pain, remembering how it all happened and how we ended unto this day.. wait! This is so heartbreaking! Awat na! (Let’s stop this!) I just wanted to really make this day count and to keep that hope by trusting God’s perfect time. I hope you keep on reading this and somehow get to know a daughter’s struggle and enlightenment about importance of time, faith, and patience. [(Infairness sakin nag-google pa’ko ng “learning synonyms”! LOL!) (I admit, I needed to google on “learning synonyms”! LOL!)]
Psalm 119:71 - Authorized KJV, says “It is good for me that I have been afflicted that I might learn from thy statutes.” Currently, I am still sucking up to know that all of the current struggles I am in is good. Well, let’s count the obstacles on this course.
Aging Folks
(My internet did not cooperate last night so my draft did not save. Now, I have to go back from scratch and start again on my thought process. Haha!)
There is a Filipino saying that I want to share - “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ako.” (You’ve just started your journey while I’m now going back.) I’d like to make a different view of this saying. I know now what I really want to do with my life. I am moving for that passion and reaching those dreams. Yet, I always have to make my pace not too fast because I know I might miss out on something, something small for me but is actually very important. I should never neglect the time I should also spend with my parents.
The lessons I had so far are these:
-Ask them of how they worked on their own passions and dreams.
-Get to know what are their point of views in life, in love and in their faith.
-Just simply talk to them about anything under the sun and spend time with them like eating out, going on a vacation, and doing something new.
-Take note of what they need specially about their health. Make sure that they are in a safe place.
I may be busy before on establishing myself when I was still working. That is to earn a bigger salary and also to make a difference through my ministries at church. But I should never be too busy to put an effort unto my parents’ needs. I did try as much as I can back when we were still with Mama. She also was an example for me on showing great concern to my Lola Naty, her mom, when both of them were still with us. So now that Papa is the only parent we have left, I know I really have to put my effort level to 100%. Lately, it has been really tough dealing with small and big matters in the family but we are thriving. Ikaw na bahala Lord! (It’s all upto You Lord!)
If ever you may not be close to your parents, well I suggest you start doing an effort to know them more. There is always a reason why you were put in that family and I know that as you pray and make efforts for it, it will pay off! Patience for aging folks is a must. As they are getting old, old habits are also hard to break for them, specially the not-so-good ones. Because, it is you who sees the bigger picture, I pray that the change will come from you first. I know that #thestruggleisreal when it comes to this matter but it will pay off. You will be rewarded as you give honor to your parents. Just thinking of that reward I know you’ll make it through.
TIME AND PRAYER
If time was a person, I would love to strangle it and keep it still, but I know it’s impossible to happen. I know we all give much value to the time that we all have in equal but we never have the same type of valuing for time.
I could really be thought of someone who is wishy-washy and lousy at times. But I am praying hard to get these things corrected. I just want to share that you can never compare yourself to people who are already successful given that you and them have the same opportunities and circumstances.
Be hard on yourself but always be patient for your learning curve. P.U.S.H. Pray Until Something Happens. I’d like to add one more to the P which is practice. Practice what you really want to be. As of now, I am motivated by one Hollywood actor who I think said one of the best speeches I have ever heard. Please search on Matthew McConaughey’s speech. Your hero is yourself (Mariah Carey’s Hero play in the background). Yes some Christians may disagree with me but let me differentiate a hero and a savior. Hero is a human while Savior is a name that I will only link to God. So okay ka na? (Are you okay with it now?) Go better go home! It will all take time I tell you, but wait while moving. :) Only God can change you so pray and be what You think God has made you to be.
EMOTIONS
I wanted to tackle more of this than the other two learnings I have but I just realized that I need to talk less of this because..I will make a separate blog about it.
Before I end this, I just want to say that to all mothers who will be celebrating Mother’s Day next month, I love you all! I miss you Mama, big time! No one will ever take your place in me. No one will ever match you. See you in a while Ma! :-*
