Before the Clock Strikes Twelve

Before the clock strikes twelve, let me look back and thank God for the blessings that I've received from June 18, 2008 1200H til this very moment...

Pains...

i can't help but cry when my mom broke the news of my grandma's passing...how much i wished to hug and console my mother...tears fell as she shares with me her plans and hope for my aging grandparents...hearing that, i told myself, i'll try my best not to feel that same regret...the pain continued for not less than a week my grandpa met an accident but God still have better plans...for lolo was spared from death but we are still struggling to repay our debts...it felt like I was buried alive...

a month before the year ended, a great decision was made...to finally let go of something that i held on for almost 5 years...i cried...

the global recession hit hard, many were affected...my plans of looking for another job became slim...then, Lot announced that she's leaving for Bahrain her company decided to relocate ...my heart sank...

C1 to C6 brought a tremendous impact in my service...for a moment I was totally depressed carrying the thought of being away from the people with whom I've shared the best moments of my service...c Bhe2x, BSB, atbp....my friends in Chapter...I felt so alone...

Joys...

God is one true amazing Lord...in every painful situation that I come across...He reaches out to me and helps me...for a moment i felt buried but He pulled me up...when I cried He then wipes those tear aways with His assuring love...as my heart sank He showed me the many friends I have...and when I felt alone He sat down with me...

I guess, you can never experience real happiness without going through the pains of life. Because, it's though those heartaches, sacrifices, stress and moments of tears that you'll learn to see the real worth of the things you have and of the people who remained on your side when you are at the lowest...

Right this very moment, i look back with a smile for the challenges i've overcome and for the beautiful memories of yesterday...coz when the clock strikes twelve i'll leave the not so good memories but bring along with me the lessons learned and keep only the lovely treasures received...


Prayer of Thanksgiving...
