Unlucky but Being Blessed

By john luis

I don’t understand why opportunity comes mysteriously without knowing that you already found it. Every opportunity came with the test and trials that sometimes it is hard to figure out it may be a disaster or a problem that gives so many answers for a complicated situation.

I been almost 2 years here in Legazpi in July 30^th I’ll be one year, I am blessed to be here and meet friends and specially to experience how it is to live with the Bicolano’s and blessed to have a guardians like daddy frank who act as my parent, but I am unlucky to have situations like you have to wait almost century and wait for many tomorrows.

Have you been waiting for so long and all you do is hoping and wishing? Yes I do experience all of that, I work in chateau Noveau and I think I just get paid half of I am suppose to have, Since Chateau is closed I am just hanging and depending on my dad for food and medicines that I usually take it every day but sometimes I skip it specially when I save something for things I want, I sometimes ask my dad for medicines but sometimes I can’t control myself to be ashamed of always asking something specially he also needed money for the car. But this situation help me to be like ants to save money; my dad gave me 500 a day for lunch and dinner I usually spend 380 or most of the time 450 but depending on the menu I will cook but every week I save not more than 200 but I spend it for my personal need like shampoo and soap so I will not ask my dad for it. I am young and need something for myself i dont even have perfume but i am blessed that i still have good food to eat and able to go somewhere for free and because of this situation i learn to be patient, to be smart and to be idialistic

I get so scared in situation like this sometimes I ask myself what if he will get sick and he will be gone what well happened to me? He is the only Person I can lean on too. He is like my father and that’s why I am afraid to lose him. Do you know? I don’t have nothing really there are only 2 people help me in this time Berny who is there for me inspired me to stay and beloved and dad who support me and love me. I am blessed to have them both even I am unlucky to have this hard risky situation.

Through The Storms

I did not know His love before,
the way I know it now.
I could not see my need for Him,
my pride would not allow.
I had it all, without a care,
the "Self-Sufficient" lie.
My path was smooth, my sea was still,
not a cloud was in my sky.

I thought I knew His love for me,
I thought I'd seen His grace,
I thought I did not need to grow,
I thought I'd found my place.
But then the way grew rough and dark,
the storm clouds quickly rolled;
The waves began to rock my ship,
My anchor would not hold.

The ship that I had built myself
was made of foolish pride.
It fell apart and left me bare,
with nowhere else to hide.
I had no strength or faith to face
the trials that lay ahead.
And so I simply prayed to Him
and bowed my weary head.

His loving arms enveloped me,
and then He helped me stand.
He said, "You still must face this storm,
but I will hold your hand."
So through the dark and lonely night,
He guided me through pain.
I could not see the light of day
or when the storm would wane.

Yet through the aches and endless
tears, my faith began to grow.
I could not see it at the time,
but my light began to glow.
I saw God's love in brand new light,
His grace and mercy, too.
For only when all self was gone
could Jesus' love shine through.

It was not easy in the storm,
I sometimes wondered, "Why?"
At times I thought, "I can't go on."
I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
But Jesus never left my side,
He guided me each day.
Through pain and strife,
through fire and flood,
He helped me all the way.

And now I see as never before
how great His love can be.
How in my weakness He is strong,
how Jesus cares for me!
He worked it all out for my good,
although the way was rough.
He only sent what I could bear,
and then He cried, "Enough!"

He raised His hand and said, "Be still!"
He made the storm clouds cease.
He opened up the gates of joy
and flooded me with peace.
I see His face now clearer still,
I felt His presence strong.
I found anew His faithfulness,
He never did me wrong.

Now I know more storms will come,
but only for my good.
For pain and tears have helped me grow
as naught else ever could.

I still have so much more to learn
as Jesus works in me;
If in the storm I'll love Him more,
that's where I want to be.

That I Can Never Have This

The greatest generalization of
Your myth
Spoke to me without
Any shoes;
And the morning lay as if
In a torpid bowl,
As if in a glade of Christmas;
As I loved the girl who
Brought me breakfast
Any girl, while just last night
I felt the nickel of
The little boy’s gun on the
Small of my
Back,
On the back of the head:
All he wanted was
Money;
Funny that he shouldn’t
Know
He couldn’t have this:
All I want is you
And the time needed to
Smell your blossoms,
To ring you up in sorcery;
Funny that I shouldn’t know
That I can never have this
