Walk With Me

All I Need is You

Life is not a fairytale for things happen in real place and in real time.

As the two-month vacation commences, I was so fired up to set my world ablaze in the life of work and in the life of prayer. And things really worked well in the first few weeks. Then I joined my parents in the dawn rosary, cleaned the house excellently and prayed and meditated the liturgy regularly.

One of those reflections was when I conversed with a child laborer during snacks of what is his team in NBA. He replied, "Atlanta Hawks kuya." Then I asked him again, "Nagadula ka ug basketball?" (Do you play basketball?) "Wala baya kuya, nagatrabaho man gud ko." (Nope, because I work) After his sincere reply, I was stunned and have cried silently. All I said was a resounding "THANK YOU GOD!" How blessed I am Lord to have more yet I am so hesitant to thank the graces you bestowed upon me.

After that few meaningful weeks, things have gone a little bit sluggish. Idleness slowly penetrated the excellent routine, where I felt sad, that there's still lacking and my heart haven't been recovered yet. Then after that realization, I suddenly missed my ex girlfriend named Carmela and prayed to God to see her again even if she will be cold to me. But because I thought it's near impossible to see her, I went to my other ex girlfriend to chat a little bit about our humorous past. However, when I got home, I'm still missing Carmela.

When weeks continued, the house became dirty, only my parents have prayed the dawn rosary, the breviary turned dusty and most especially I was enslaved to the games in my cellular phone. Due to these things, my mom frequently scolds me.

Towards the end of the vacation, things became ultra sweet when I realized that God answered my sincere prayer in seeing Carmela with her boyfriend. Though I tried to cry, though I tried to break, but it's just that both my heart and my tears realized that my brain were too filled of her and it's a time for me to love my calling without setbacks.

 Now, I realized why many crucial things happen in our Christian lives. It is a way of God to say among ourselves, "My Child, offer your emptiness, I will make you complete."
