Am i really?

One of the things i enjoyed living in japan is its simplicity. Not that japanese lifestyle is really that simple. But on a personal level, my life was really simple. I work 5 days a week, and I attend the anticipated mass every Saturday night and have dinner with my friends. Sundays were spent at home talking with family and friends, doing chores and just relaxing. Friends are easily made, and when it’s time to see them leave, I’ll just think that everyone of us are transient in this country. All of us were just passing by.

But right now, my life became so complicated I can hardly breath. I really can’t explain it, but it’s already getting into me. This is one of those times that I wish I have someone to pastor me here.

As a friend nun told me, “the more you give yourself to others, the more challenges you’re going to face.” What I could say is, these “concerns” that I have, they’re my sandpaper. They will not stop until I’m smooth.

Or maybe if I take a hard look on these things, and I’ll see how God’s hands are working in my life.
