In the Beginning

Be imitators of God as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

-Ephesians 5:1-2

One  Tuesday morning, I read on my phone screen “Homework… write an essay describing how has God been dealing with your character since you have live on the vision (G12)”, automatic I shut down.  I run out of words then later I realized maybe I don’t know how or where to start because everything happened so fast.

How to picture it? More likely in a normal day I’m walking, thinking… then I heard a familiar sound at my back, fast approaching and then I saw people running, overtaking. So I stop on pacing… I turned around sabay tingala… immediately heavy rain pours! At masakit sa mukha ha! Because I’m wet I don’t find the need to run and while it takes more time, even I’m shaking I’m enjoying the shower.

See I don’t have the umbrella... I’m really not prepared on the vision (G12) but somehow and some way I know I’m welcome… that I’m one of these raindrops.

God moves mysteriously. I hear- feel Him but most of the time He’s silent. He’s unpredictable, that up until now I’m learning- reading everything in the hard way. To state the few… one, knowing I can’t He pushes me; He still wants me to do these particulars. Two, He’s teaching me to embrace the new Claire and respect the old me which I still find so difficult. Three, I’m doing the things I’m not use to and I hate to do.

Behind all these, I see and experience God’s sincerity day after day which made me think… embracing the vision is like feeling affection for someone. Therefore He wants a relationship, with Him and with others, to be real. So he took the risk of creating me (us) free. And I know Adam and Eve was the first to experience this. He wants me to grow... to practice my free will- decision. That alone drives me to trust, stay and continue. By that, God win my heart.
