God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Healing of the Past process

Upon reading my Devotional book entitled Great Days with great Lives (GDGL) today in Exodus 4: 27-28, I was reminded in my session with my Ms. Chelo Mapano a Psychologists, who will help me in my healing of the past process. The test is all about the need of companion. I know how does it feel to be alone like Moses. No one can take a break And listen to you. Nobody can tap you at the back and say, Can we talk for a moment? How are you my dear? Can you share your burdens/concerns? That we pray for it. 

How I wish to be comforted, to be embraced by someone then pray for me. all through my life, I was struggling in myself. Settling things alone, all fighting alone.

Then I dare myself one day, to earnestly pray to God fro a buddy system- back up. I prayed day and night, Mondays up to Sundays...I never stopped praying until such time that |I became one of the LDP batch14. There in our Christian Youth Leaders Admission's Week (CYLAW) 2009, where I felt that I was one of the final set of Leadership Development Program (LDP) Scholars of Compassion Philippines already. and the P.I.N.O.Y (orientation) comes, I can't believe it, that as I earnestly pray to God for a buddy, School or university to be enrolled in- an opportunity to pursue my tertiary education will come true. Thank you Lord for providing everything I need, as your daughter.
