A little bit of redemption.

I'm in the quest of granting my soul a little bit of redemption.

Lately, I've been focused on so many things -- my work, personal concerns, financial difficulties, new people coming into [and soon going out of] my life... that I wasn't able to make room for my soul and her well-being.

I've been stressed with so much work to do. I somehow forgot what all of this is about.

For a while, I forgot that this is all for the Lord. I took away the Lord in the picture, and not long after, everything seemed pointless.

Indeed, if one does work apart from God, he gets lost in the way. If he fails to acknowledge God in his everyday toil, he loses sight of his purpose...and all the toil becomes pointless.

Thus, the reason I've been so stressed lately. I've been asking myself "What's the point in all of this?"

And honestly, it's been so tiring.

It's so hard to run away from God, because all this time, deep in my heart I know that resistance to Him is futile.

Lent is about to come. And I wish to come back from the dead.


Kailan magwawakas ang 'yong pagtatago?
Ako'y naghihintay sa'yo.
Lumapit ka lamang, ang puso Ko'y hagkan,
Pag-ibig Ko'y walang hanggan.
-- Pag-ibig Ko, Hangad
