Captain

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me this chance to live. Thank you for allowing me to reach my quarter life, with all my hopes and dreams. I can’t thank you enough for all the blessings that I received and been receiving everyday. It’s as though I am provided well with everything that I need.

As I come as twenty five, I would like to ask for forgiveness. All the wrong doings and incurring (even recurring) mistakes that I do, I ask for your understanding. Lord, I know sometimes my selfishness can make me think badly of others, my laziness can burden someone else’s life and my being introvert make others think badly of me, thus making them sinful by my provocative gestures.

If I can ask for more, I would highly ask of you to always protect me and my family and friends. I ask of you to grant us good health today and in the coming days. Lord, I won’t ask for fortune, to me, money isn’t everything, but please let me be the instrument to make someone else’s dreams come true. Please let me think twice, thrice or a quad zillion times whenever I think about giving up, ‘cause by then, how can I send someone to school?

I may not be the best of a daughter or a sister or an aunt or even a friend, but I know that you know how my life revolves around them. Please grant them endurance too, to face the challenges they are up against. Father, guide us to the right path, that our decisions may be as solid as rock because we know that it is for your glory.

Lord, I know that you know how I am trying to be the better person I will ever be so when the time comes that you want me to be part of someone’s life, I am very much ready. Please help me to wait longer, that someone who’s worth having is worth waiting. Please fill me with love that when that somebody comes, my love would flow as swiftly as that of the rivers. Please let me enjoy the moment I am in today as there will be no repeat for this one.

Finally, when I feel lost, confused and troubled, Lord God, gratify my hunger for fulfilment. Help me realize that like good times, the harshest of storms too shall pass.

Please be the captain of my ship. I am just your crew. I will follow you, my wonderful God.

Love,

Friendship is spelled with END

As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
