A Reply to a Thread...

(written few minutes after the Shizouka earthquake with intensity 6, March 15, 2011)

Thank you so much my dear friends for sharing the wonderful verses.

The juxtaposition of your views with my own, creates an immense affirmation of my conviction and belief. I am a believer of my Father's promises and His word. The very reason why I entrust myself in His hands.

I am a survivor of calamities and tragedies...that of Mt. Pinatubo eruption, the "lahar flow" which washed out our house and business then, the typhoon Ondoy, where the water was on my neck level as I help my sister save some of her important things, and now here with Japan's earthquake...the latest jolting and shaking which happened just few minutes ago with a magnitude of 6 here in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

With these terrifying experiences in my life, never did I question God. I have always believed in the power of my Creator, that His ideas and plans are far above mine because He is an omnipotent God with all knowing power. Who am I to question my Father's role in whatever event in my life? I am convinced that my Father knows what is best for me.

I claim that I am God's child. That His presence is in me and that I am His beloved and in His Kingdom where He is in His throne as a King, I know I will be like a princess on His side, in my death, because I am His daughter.

I entrust myself in His hands because I believe in His word. For He promised in Matt. 28:20 " I am with you always even to the end of the earth." And because of the things that already happened to me, I trust Him more and have no fear...for he said in Jeremiah 17:7 " Blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord." and in Isaiah 12:2 "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid." I hold on to His word in the Bible because I believe in Him with all my heart.

I am at peace my dear brothers and sisters amidst our situation...Thank God for this FAITH...

Good night all...Time for bed.

Trahedya...


Sa gitna ng maunlad na bansa,
Trahedya ay bumulaga.
Lindol at tsunami ay namuksa,
Gusali ay nasira, buhay ay nawala.

Sana naman ay tama na,
Suliranin ay wag nang dagdagan pa.
Upang ang mga tao sa bansa ay matahimik na,
Kapayapaan ay makamit at trahedya ay di na lumala pa.

Hiling ko sa ating Maykapal,
Sa aking mataimtim na dasal,
Karanasan dito ay maging aral,
At pananampalataya sana ay umiral.

Nugit buo ang aking paniniwala,
Na pagkatapos nito ay may bagong pag-asa.
Kailangan lang nating sumampalataya,
Sa ating mapagmahal at maawaing Ama.
