awake

woke up in the middle of the night, tried going back to sleep but couldn't. instead of trying to catch more winks, i decided to blog.

just yesterday i came across this blog (through Kuya Kevin's) of a woman named Theresa. and i really admire her for being a good writer and for having the courage to discuss everything on her blog. me, i'm still a coward when it comes to that. i can't even show my whole face in here. what am i scared of anyways?

though i appear (most of the time) confident on the outside, there are still things/events that intimidate me and one of the most feared ones happened in the office the other day. and much as i didn't want to, i wore the same mask again when incidents like that happen. i remember the apostle paul saying in romans 7, "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."

when will i stop wearing this mask and come out in the open about it? if i've already accepted it fully, then why can't i talk about it openly?

i hide some things too that only the Lord sees, like when I'm so downcast and can't stop crying. But once I've poured out my heart to HIM, it always makes a diff'rence. He comforts me like no other.

I sometimes look strong on the outside too but breaking apart inside and I think we're all like that every now and then. With me, I have to be strong for my family, and for the people who look up to me for some strength, helps me to be strong too.

You will be in my prayer whoever you are or whatever is your name and you don't have to tell me and I've had a heartbreak too.

God bless you girl, God loves you and you don't know it, but you are too, an amazing woman. :)

Thanks a lot, Thess. :-) I know that the Lord loves me but it helps to be reminded of it from time to time.

You're in my prayers as well. God bless!
