Dear @
Butitor,
ang kalisud sa kinabuhi itugot sa Ginoo para kita mahimong malig-on
sama sa paglisod-lisod sa usa ka body-builder pagpangaswat anang hinlabing kabug-at nga mga plates para mudako ang lawas..
sama sa pagpugong-pugong sa pagkaon ug daghan sa usa ka tambok para lang mudaot
kung wala ta masipyat sa kinabuhi..dili kita makat.on ug mutubo sa kaalam.
kung dili kita muagi ug kaubos basin pirme tang magpahitaas.
kung dili kita makasuway ug katalagman, basin unya ug makalimot ta nga kining kinabuhi hinuwaman lamang ug kita lumalabay lamang. sama usa ka buwak, nia karun ug wala na ugma.
kung atong tukion ang paagi sa Diyos, dili jud kita makasabut. sama ra ug usa ka bata ning suway resolba ug problema sa Calculus..hehe
Ginoo siya, tao ta..mao ang gipangayo niya ang ato rang pagtuo kaniya..
i had some tough times too, had a rough childhood. my dad was a traditional dad nga manlatosay ug mangulatahay kada gamaynh simyat. growing up was hard 'cause i didn't get to have any extracurricular activies..this was very hard for a musician and a fan of bruce lee LOL
..as a result, in my youth i became a drug junkie, fooled my parents, took advantage of my siblings and other people's compassion. a total mess and a certified looser. ran away from home. threw away education..
i hated God(not as vocal as you though LOL)cause of the crappy life, i hated the Church and religion in general(kini hinuon medyo vocal jud ko sa una ani..haha)'cause i've witnessed first and second hand hypocrisy..
then came to a point that i lost my family, my parents wouldn't even speak to me or let me set foot our house..
then everyone else got bitter and tired of helping me out then eventually gave up.
this kind of scenario went on for years and years, i'll give you a hint. my dad didn't speak to me for 7 years! LOL
and i never set foot inside our house for like 6 years?
well now, my dad and i are like bestfriends, we all hated our dad before 'cause of his violent nature but now family's tighter than ever..
i'm married with the love of my life.
i'm surviving financially, though i never finished my degree aside from the fact that i'm the only one who didn't finish college in the family, technically i'm also the least successful compared with my siblings.
but what the Heck! i learned life's hardest lessons because God allowed me to go through tough times..
and on top of that, i also learned that everything was my choice and i was merely suffering to loss of my poor choices..
my choices were random of course, no one can see the big picture..
but came out specific results...
specific results of maturity, responsibility and growth..
some people call it blessings in disguise or coincidence i call it purpose.
i don't know what is the purpose behind every pain that we go through today
but i'd like to believe it is for our perfection.
i still go through loads of crap on a daily basis..but bring it on! it's for my perfection anyway.
after all, these skin and bones are just rentals!
bow!
kind regards,
Papa Joe.. LOL
