Struggles, hinders coming my way
But God never want me to astray
He always reminded me and say
“Never stop but continue to play”
It is a roller coaster journey up way to my vocation. This coming March it will be my life changing moment. Maybe, after this month there will be two paths that I may walk to – way to my vocation as a teacher and way towards to more committed religious life and I pray to guide me to find a way to the “calling” that I have. I’m very happy that God gave me hope to continue my journey. Sometimes I lose my hope but he always reminded me to never give up. I remember a Filipino worship song “Sa Diyos lamang mapapatag ang aking kaluluwa, sa kanya nagmumula ang aking pag-asa at kaligtasan, O Dios ikaw ang aking kaligtasan, nasa iyo ang kaluwalhatian, ikaw lamang ang aking inaasahan ang aking moog at tanggulan” In God my soul will feel relieve, my soul became calm and relax because God is in my side, God embrace me, he is always let me feel his spirit, his everlasting love and care. He guards me from harm.
The month of February in the year 2010 is a confirmation by God to find myself and be ready to discern in my call to the priesthood and I gave myself time to retreat and talk to God more often. It is not an easy journey, pains and downfall coming my way. There are times that I question God’s love. But I’m very happy that today in this moment of my life the vocation is still burning and alive. I know there are a lot of pains and sacrifices that coming my way to achieve to be servant of the Lord but I’m ready to ride to a roller coaster. Ready for adventure, never frighten to the speedy moment and ready to shout and praise God and give my love to God our creator.
I hope and pray that my vocation in priesthood nurtures by time and experiences. Became bloom and transform by people who will be used by God to mould me to become a great Priest someday. When my journey to vocation as a priest accepted by Columban everything will be changed and it is start of a more meaningful life coming my way and a life that changes the heart of people of God, humble and faithful servant of the Lord.
My journey is not the end yet
God has a great plan to set
Never think of something not best
Because God creates me to be the best
LAUS DEO SEMPER! God Praise Always!
