Church

Warning:  Taglish

In my whole over one year life here in Dubai, di all the time nakakasimba (ako).  There are/were times na I really wanted to, pero yun bang the spirit is willing but the body is weak.  Ang daming excuses. I can actually never ran out. Blame it on being human? Or blame it on katamaran?

Like the past month, my sinusitis was bad.  Maybe dahil sa pagpapalit ng season.  Isipin mo ba naman, dati dati nasa 32-33C ang init sa umaga.  Mga 6:30AM yun ha and not in the middle of the morning.  Eh ngayon nasa 29 na lang minus the humidity so medyo masarap na pakiramdam paglabas mo sa building.  Pero since nasanay na din ang katawan ko sa init, eh nag-alboroto si sinus glands ko (or whatever you call it).

Then there was a time when I slept super late dahil we went to the grocery that night, maybe till it was about 11 or 11:30PM, so naturally I slept super late (or early morning) kaya ayun another excuse not to go to church.

Then there was a time when I felt really really tired.  That was another excuse.  It was all excuses.  Lame excuses when all the time I would bend down on my knees and pray and ask something from God.  Today (or yesteday) it was different.  I said to myself, whatever will happen, I may sleep later than usual I WILL go to church.

And I did.  I was welcomed by the congregation (I am a Pentecostal Born Again Christian) and it felt so good to back in fellowship with fellow believers.   The preaching was actually okay.  Really ok.  It was about rapture.  And there I was sitting there thinking of the documentary I saw the previous weeks on 2012, Armaggedon, and the end of the world.

Perhaps the Lord was reminding me something.  That I should rest my faith on Him and not on some movie, prophecy and whatever I see online.

It’s good to be back in Church.  As the bible says, we do not live by bread alone ~ Matt. 4:4.

God bless everyone!
