God destroyed my life only to rebuild it into something much better than what it was, and I found at the end of my struggle, that i was so much happier. - Father Rafael (something to that affect. it was in spanish)
how true that is. How can something better be made when the old thing is still there preventing a completely better structure from being put up? I see that so much in myself. I am no longer the person I used to be, and that's okay. I cant remain the same and expect to grow or learn or mature. Although their are so many uncertainties and question marks in my life, i believe that God will surely lead me to what i'm looking for and will accomplish much in me. I have learned very recently through a series of events although not so big, that i don't have to run and rush to find out what it is i'm waiting for, or push myself so hard all the time. I have to be more patient and calm my heart to listen for God's voice in every moment, in every second. I had made myself so busy with so many things to the point where i stopped and realized that i had become so numb to God's promptings. It took so much for HIM to make me stop and see what i was doing to myself. It's time to rebuild myself.. not revert into the person i may have been, but rather into a person better than who i was. Someone stronger and wiser, and more faithful. When i went to see the hermanas and padre yesterday, padre read me like an open book and told me i had to do 5 things:
1 be faithful. Faithful to God and his love and will.
2 be docile. Don't be so anxious to run somewhere.
3 be ready
4 be responsible
5 be (iforgot this one. Cynthia.. yoo have to remind what was the last one)
and they are things i definitely need to do.

so all in all i've been changed. |
