Already?
It was just like yesterday when I welcomed 2020, now it’s February…a new chapter. I know, crazy isn’t it? But everything just happened so fast, like a blink of an eye. My mind still haven’t processed what happened the previous month to be honest and still hoping for some good news. There’s the bush fire in Australia, eruption of Taal volcano, Iran vs US attack and just recently, Kobe Bryant’s demise and then the first confirmed case of Novel Corona Virus or NCoV in the Philippines. January is like the bearer of bad news, not a good start for the year of the rat I must say.
I’m not being pessimistic or anything but what’s happening in the world right now is making me re-think about dooms day. Why is there so much chaos? People are living in fear, that today or tomorrow might be their last breath. I guess everything happens for a reason. On the brighter side, no matter how divided nations are, in times of crisis people are coming together. I guess bad things brings out the good in people. Maybe it’s God’s plan to let us all know that there is kindness in all of us no matter how bad we think we are. I will be such a hypocrite if I will say that I never questioned God’s will because I did, many times. I wonder why he let something so evil happen to those who do not deserve them? Why he take away the ones we love? Too many why’s and questions left unanswered until one day we will realize that he have reasons that maybe we refuse to accept because it’s not what we want. We ask God to lead yet we have doubts and fears at the back of our minds. I guess the hardest thing to do is to fully surrender. We worry too much and not trust the process.
Here’s to a new month full of hope, the world will rise again and all the unpleasant things that is happening around us will only make us braver. Let’s spread love and not the virus.
