Enjoy this song with me:
This is the Day, by Fred Hammond
My First Unknown Friend
This is a song I was taught at Church of St Francis of Assisi, the first church where I met my friend, Jesus Christ, someone whom I talked to… Little did I know that it was all REAL…..
Importance of Our Body
This Daily Bread has been with me since last year’s Advent. But I was not in the mood to read (my body was not at all in ‘working’ condition.) But yesterday, I took it along so that I can read it in the MRT. Though I was not in the optimum ‘working’ condition, but at least I am ‘half-kicking’.
What You See
I managed to have a seat when someone just happened to leave. Everyday of my pregnancy, I feel terrible — inside my mouth, lots of saliva ‘coming out’ (mouth-watering), and it does not ‘taste’ good. It makes me so uncomfortable. This happens for all my three pregnancies. The first one started somewhere in the late trimester. The second one earlier and this third one, throughout. Everywhere I go, I have to carry a plastic bag. Otherwise I need to drink water (not plain water) to ‘neutralize’ the effect of the saliva.
What You Cannot See
Nobody likes to carry a plastic bag everywhere they go. And nobody wants to behave like an alien, so different from people — and it looks unsightly, very disgusting with the bag of saliva. My mother told me to swallow my saliva. My sister told me not to also. My husband is also scared of it, thinking it is very dirty. Do you think I like it this way? Who do not wish to have a normal body like other people do? I just cannot help it, and it is my natural body response!
Plank In My Eyes
At the library, the security guard kept looking at me. He might be thinking what is inside the plastic bag. I definitely don’t feel good, but I cannot help it. Inside the train, I have to eat or drink, otherwise I would spit. Richard always told me when he saw me eating,”Hey, cannot eat!” You think I don’t know?
Plank In Your Eyes?
You are my husband. Did you ever supported me in anything? All you ever wanted is always I supporting you. I have to defend for myself. Fined me if you want, if this is the kind of inhuman society. What is the purpose of setting up all this rules? The main purpose is to keep the train clean, and hygienic. This is the most basic reason. Would you rather forbid someone from eating or to see the train with ‘vomit’? Some people are seen eating on the train too. Some are students, and some are adults. Not many people are doing that. And everyone might have their own reasons which you do not know, such as Type I diabetes. As long as they don’t litter the train, and are not interfering you! Laws ARE SET by PEOPLE. You got to be flexible at times.
Holy Spirit
We were all separated from each other in the train. While sitting at my seat, reading “Our Daily Bread” right from the very first page, I was so moved, and so touched. Tears covered my eyes as I read the words from the pages. (will elaborate more at YrManna.com). But I need to control, otherwise later Richard would ask ‘Why’ again — Ask and I explain. But everytime with disbelief. So I better save the trouble.
Coincidence or Fated
When more people got out of the train, we finally had a chance to sit together. Something caught my attention. It was the banner in the cabin:
The Banner says: Miracles Can Happen To You This April
Yes, I believe. Miracles do happen and Miracles do exist and anything can happen if you believe.
It’s my job to bring you the Good News.
