doodles and babbles

Thursday, July 19, 2007

Yesterday, (July 18, Wednesday) me and my training team attended a the Philippine Society for Training and Development (PSTD) Tipanan. It's a monthly thing seminar that they conduct for all trainers in various companies.

It was my first time to attend there. The theme for this July's tipanan was:

"Don't just get out of the box... Get rid of it!"

Speaker: Pido. I forgot his full name. But he was sooo good! Really! He's a faithful steward of creativity. The topic was about--of course, creativity.

And then as we do these crazy creative activities... I just suddenly missed my college days. Not the quizzes and projects and THESIS and all that stuff. But those moments when I still have time to sketch, to write on my journal, to read books after another, to write stories, to doodle, to write poems... all those things...

I thought for a moment, did my work sapped out all aesthetic juices in me? I hope not! That's me... It can't be gone... I cannot let it be gone... I would lose "me" if that would happen...

I wanted to do it again. Sketch, write, read, doodle... and most of all, to honor God with these things. "WHY NOT!!??" says Pido.

I also realized, my fascination in celestial bodies is still within me... I'm still fascinated with the stars, the space dusts, the black holes, aurora borealis, lightning dances... everything up there that is lightyears beyond our naked eye... everytime I think of these awesome side of creation, I just can't help but mutter... God, You're simply amazing. Truly, You are a creative God! Who would have thought of that?

That's all. Just sharing. :)

Missing you all...

O, kamusta naman jan?

Ako heto, patuloy na hinuhubog ni Lord. Apprehensions, battles within, obedience, sacrifices...
with all of these going on in my life, only in God's mercy and grace will I be able to pass through it all.

A battle in a field is scary and tiring. So is the battle within each of us. But as David had sung in the book of Psalms...

You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart with songs
Of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid I will
Trust in You

I will trust in You
Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength of my Lord
I will trust in You

Thank you Lord because amidst all these battle, I know that I am in Your hands and You are fighting with me. After all, this is Your battle. And victory is assured to those who completely trust in You.
