Mustard Seed

This morning, as I woke up, I was overcame with determination to do my best on the upcoming Board Exams this November. I was like, no Facebook, no Twitter, no YouTube, basically no internet for that matter. I also told myself to stay away from Glee, Two and a Half Men, and The Big Bang Theory.

Pure ISOLATION.

Then I prayed that God will bless my plans so that I will be able to successfully carry them out. I asked the Holy Spirit for guidance that I will be in my tip top shape on November.

Fortunately, God heard my prayer today. Almost instantly.

We heard mass today in the Redemptorist Church and the gospel was about Faith. One of my favorite lines in the Bible is, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’" The other was about telling a mountain to move from its current postion. It's just so amazing how faith can do. But we human beings can only have such faith whenever we need it. It's sad, but it's the reality.

My faith was renewed. I was refreshed. The Lord wanted the best for me and since he's seen my determination that I would really do my best for Him, he's helping me to achieve it.

I could still write on about the frustrations and disappointments about my relationship with Apple, towards my friends, and to my family, but would it matter? I guess not. What matters is how I get up from this pains.

Trust me, getting up hurts. It's like a wounded knee that's being stretched from standing up.

But with faith in Jesus, I know no pains.

The priest said that the meaning of faith is not being reliant to one's self. He's right. Man cannot live alone. He needs the company of another human being in order to live, love, and hope.

Right now, since Jesus once again is knocking on my three-fourths closed heart, I'm gonna open it for him and let him handle me.

I'm gonna continue to do my best, but this time, Jesus is with me.
