A Short Story

She doesn’t know what happened.


She woke up one day; everyone hates her and don’t like her. She can’t do anything for the people to forget the past. She admitted she made a mistake and she tried to catch up on things and move on. They can’t forget James and they can’t seem to forgive her. She’s been asking, “What do I need to do? People have been so nosy about my stories and my life. Why do they care about me?”

Matt has been saying a lot of things about her & yet she still tried to befriend him. “Is it my problem that all the while I thought we were friends and he bluntly said in my face that he never treated me one?” she cries. She can’t understand why Matt can’t deal with her anymore. She doesn’t know exactly how she have hurt or offended him that turned his back on her. And he didn’t even mention anything to her so they can work on it.

All the while she was trying to find the root-cause of her problem and until now that she has realized that she doesn’t have to look that far to fix it. It was just right in front of her.

She has been so tired of trying to please everyone and think and do what's best for them. She was once told that, "the worst thing that a leader would do is to try to please everyone" She knows it’s not right but that's the only way she can at least reach out to them. She’s been crying and her heart is in pain. Asking God what His plans are for her and why the things are happening. This scripture came to her and made her realized a lot of things -

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.2 Cor3:5

- We must experience our weakness to experience God's strength.
She knows He has always been forgiving and understanding; He will not let us fall down.

If you were presented with an opportunity to do something great - to really leave a mark on the world and make a difference, would you take it? I think that most people would, I know that I certainly would. πŸ™Œ Perhaps the reason that most people don’t end up doing this is because of the personal price that needs to be paid. One thing I’ve certainly learned for myself is that if I want to be able to influence other people and things around me I first need to be able to influence myself. If I want to create change around me, I need to start with myself. I can’t take my same old self into a bright new future - I’ll only darken it. πŸ’₯ The good news is that if I put proper focus on changing myself, on growing and learning and developing my skills - my potential will be unlimited. πŸ’ͺ **** picture below is my inspiration. It's a dream come true to enter The Asian Institute of Management as a student. This happened in 2018 when I was enrolled by my prior company to an Executive Development...

Holy Week Pilgrimage 2016

We were praying and fasting and walking. I almost gave up. I asked Argie to stop several times. I thought of riding a cab instead of walking then I realized we've been walking and 8 kilometer walk is just nothing compared to what Jesus has done on the cross. Argie has been holding my hand all throughout and he has been really supportive. We our faith and continue walking. It took us 4 hrs to get there. While walking, I recalled how tough first quarter was for me and what are the things I could have done differently.  It was a realization that no matter what challenges I have encountered, I will always have to hold on and keep my faith in God, I know for sure, we will achieve our goals and I am excited for it! This season has reminded me again to be humble, forgiving,  faithful and trusting to God. Hope you were able to spend quality time with your family this holiday and you were able to find the true meaning of Lent. God bless! πŸ‘ΌπŸ˜‡πŸ™‡
