I feel as if big changes are coming soon. And i'm not saying just big. I mean BIG. Really, really, BIG.
And I'm scared. Who wouldn't be? But if I have to survive this, than I have to face it head on with a big smile on my face.
I could still be wrong, though. So let's keep our fingers crossed.

The Parents
My not-so-little-anymore little brother is off to see THE PARENTS. It seems like it was only just yesterday when I was changing his diapers.
*sigh*
I wonder what mama will say when she hears about this juicy news. *evil sister grin*
Better remind him to give his teeth an extra brush.

Case for Christ
I found myself in Booksale today. It was one of those spontaneous, unplanned moments. Being financially-constrained, I told myself I wouldn’t buy anything. I’d just browse & unwind.
What I love most about Booksale is the joy of the hunt. There’s something immensely gratifying about finding a great book for a low, low price. It’s like finding a diamond in the mud.
The first thing I found was a copy of a book I loved when I was in high school: Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It was re-telling of the Arthurian legend through the eyes of Morgaine, or Morgan la Faye. I have read & reread this book countless of times. I have always had a fascination for Arthurian legend and Morgaine has been one of my all-time favorite characters.
I wanted to buy it. But alas! The book costs more than a hundred and I only had P80 in my pocket.
As I continued browsing, I couldn’t resist the itch of buying something. It boiled down to a choice between a Rosamund Pilcher novel and a coming-of-age book from an author I’m not familiar with.
And that’s when I found it. The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel.
And then I knew why I found myself in Booksale this afternoon. It was for this book.`
The Case for Christ is about a journalist's personal investigation of the evidence for Jesus. It is a retracing of his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith.
This is exactly what I need right now.
To be perfectly honest, my spiritual life’s a mess. I have strayed. I have fallen. I have backslid. I’m in the desert. But it’s moments like this that God speaks to me, His gentle voice cutting through my layers of guilt, and telling me that He cares for me still. That He is there. That He loves me.
And as I read through the pages of this book, I find myself slowly finding Jesus again.
He is calling me back.

Writer's Block
I'm having a writer's block. Well, I've been finding it extremely difficult to find the right words lately. Like, for the past few months. Expressing myself used to be quite easy.
But. On the bright side, having a writer's block reaffirms one thing.
I'm a writer.
