"Seeing kids who actively mingles with people around them (as if they are not children), is another affirmation of your calling to lead them to a better environment."
Some would say, you can write anything without God as your guide but I WOULD SAY you can't!!!
Who created all of those around you?
And that's made me clueless of anything to write without any words from Him. Yeah! That's right!!! I can't write without knowing or reading His Words, from where? Absolutely non other than from your Bible and see what His message for you. Okay, got it? =D
We just arrived in Minor Basilica of Peñafrancia (it should be Peñafrancia Church) by 11:00AM, we didn't see any event type of scene there but only the people who are non-stop & continuously going to touch the image of Nuestra Señora de Peñafrancia. It was my first time to see the Traslacion but from the tone of the people's feedback & reactions around me, what I've witnessed was not the way it should be.
The reason why its different is that various groups like religious organizations, schools, and other devotees are scheduled for a certain time w/in the day to have Traslacion. So as I realize it, most of the people are expecting the traditional way w/c is to see a big crowd every hour of the day w/c wasn't happening today. =)
Few minutes from now we'll be attending a Holy Eucharist in Minor Basilica (it should be Peñafrancia Church).
God will never ever give you the people you meet if they will not accept you. It depends on you on how you will handle their acceptance. Don't ever look to their acceptance but search within you on how you accept them. After all, the character of a person affects others and in return you'll benefit as they response to yours.
You may want to feel better and be overwhelmed, just go to a crowd of children then seat down and talk to them: know their names, ask them questions, tell them stories, and barely spend time connecting to them. Then, if you're feeling better you may go back to where you were before and consume all the energy you've gained from those children. And if you feel drained again, go back to the same crowd of children or within the place you met those children and for sure you'll make yourself better and better as soon as you feel overwhelmed and full of energy again to face the challenges of life. =)
A day started with full of laziness which means I'm sleepy. =))
But the way God had plan it, He's really persistent and consistent. =D
Actually, He used every people surrounds me even the worker in my host ('coz they are currently fixing the structure of their house) just to wake me up. Well, what will you say about the Greatest among all. =)
Then, just to hype-up myself out I decided to do some stretching & exercise. It went well and got already some feedback from the Council when I meet them that afternoon and those people I met here before (Where? Secret, no clue =P).
I got the chance to go to a Private school and went there for the School Based. We had a nice discussion and talk with the Principal. In my surprise, she even invite us for dinner. =>
Well, they already have a scheduled Kids Camp on October. =))
Surely, it'll be an exciting and joyful one.
I'm just hoping, this school will be sustained and taken care of. A challenge for the team this weekend to boost up the facilitator's desire to serve the kids. =)
All in all, I would say I become truth to myself and act real with the circumstances I encountered for this day. I'm happy. =)
(I hope you'll be able to pursue your happiness this day.)
Rejection, self-doubt and fear of being hurt can reinforce an instinct some of us have of keeping people in our lives at bay. To truly love and be loved, you have to stop pushing people away. Here are some tricks that can help you stop pushing people away and lead a happier life.
Instructions
1. Begin with self-love. The truth is that you need to love yourself before anyone else can love you. Write out all of the things people love about you, and write down the things that frustrate or annoy those who love you. This helps to bring to light the cold hard facts about what you do that can push love away. Tell yourself every day that you are good at three things. Practice and nurture those things in your personality, and strive to rid yourself of the things in your life that make you unhappy and bring on mood swings.
2. Learn to accept love. Low self esteem will rob you of a feeling of deserving love. If you feel as though you don't deserve the people in your life, you may be inadvertently pushing them away because of it. Stop pushing people away by looking at them and telling yourself that they are good people and that you deserve to have their love.
3. Take fear out of your life. Instead of waiting for someone to disappoint you, learn how to stop fearing love and a successful relationship with someone. Stop pushing people away out of fear, and you can really be happy in love, work, your social life and at home.
4. Become an attractor. Stop the dialogue in your head about how every man or woman is the same as the last one. These negative feelings and thoughts can lead to self-fulfilling prophesies. If you tell yourself that you will only attract the same types of people who will hurt you, you can easily make it come true. Attract positive people.
