To Graduate Supposedly

I am through with my Pre-orals and is supposedly to graduate this month.  Unfortunately though, it just couldn't be.  While I wanted to finish my master's degree, I couldn't also sacrifice my work and my family.  Husband came home in the last week of January and I feel it was just fair for me to set aside my dream so I can be with him when I am not working... because my work calls for a lot of work.

Anyways, if it were for me, I'd be able to finish it in the coming days or months.
... wife ... mother ... teacher ... daughter ... WOMAN ... ME!

In the fast-paced life of us, humans, where we hurry and scurry to accomplish that which we are tasked to do, quietness has lost its power. Even in the silence around us; even in the faux pax of solitude, deep inside each of us is a turmoil that can not be silenced. The human heart is deafened by a lot of voices coming from all directions; each of the distinctive sounds seeking to drown each other.  The heart gets disoriented - confused.  The heart no longer knows what to do; what to choose, where to go. With each of us chasing lofty dreams which are seemingly so distant, we sometimes get lost in the noise around us.  Instead of us focusing our gaze on our goals, we turn around to pat at...

Is Oneness Still Possible in This Digital World?

https://i1.wp.com/www.nadinehead.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/square-celestial-couple.jpg Let's face it; everyone faces the dilemma of staying tightly connected with his closest neighbors, families and friends and being left all alone with his gadgets.  Everywhere, we see people being with people and yet they do not talk with each other.  They are together, yes, but their togetherness is just physical --- the best part of connecting with another human being has been lost - gone - eaten up by our "want" to be virtually connected all the time. Families sit at the table during meals and yet they do not connect emotionally and spiritually; their physical proximity is but a realistic antonym to their emotional distance towards each other. They dive their silverware into their heaped-up plates, sometimes in silence, their minds wandering towards notifications on FB, views at You Tube, private or secret messages on various IM apps and other physical connection...

Lord, Do I Bury or Multiply My Talents?

https://media.freebibleimages.org/stories/FB_LS_Parable_Talents/overview-images/003-ls-parable-talents.jpg?1538662578 Each one of us is gifted.  That is a fact. Long before we were born, God implanted in us an inherent ability - skill - talent that is ours and ours alone. I do not get sold to people saying, "I do not have any talent" referring to dancing or singing or drawing because God, in all His profound wisdom, made sure that we all are given our share of talents, skills and abilities because through these, we are able to go go about our roles as humans --- to fulfill our ministry in this world. Some people are good dancers. Very good in fact, that every time they move their bodies, they captivate their audience as their unified movements tell stories and permeate with raw emotions.  No words are needed when dancers sway and move their hands and hips because all that is necessary is movement. That is talent. While everyone can move to the beat, not everyone are...
