ONLINE ASSIGNMENT 7  

                    (MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD)

Taken during ADORE 2015 at Patin-ay,  Prosperidad, 

Agusan Del Sur last March 10-11, 2015. I am on the

left side with my classmates in highschool.

  “Put God in the center and everything will come together”, this is what I believe in. As what my mother says, without God we can do nothing. He is everything who made all things possible. We are not a very religious Family who often go to church but we are a Family of faith who believe in God and serve Him to the best we can.

         

     I am a Filipinista as well as my Family, a girl who firmly believes in God no matter what. My relationship with God is wonderful. Many times in my life I have experienced down-heartedness. There comes a time when I’m really down because my grandfather was confined in the hospital because of having defect with his spleen. I was really affected with that because I’m one of the closest granddaughters to my Lola and Lolo. I think losing one of them is a great squall for me. They are very important to me for they are so good and very supportive. What I did is I pray so hard for my Lolo’s recovery, and God answered my prayers… our prayers. My grandfather has cured. Then, I’ve remember what is being said by the priest during one of his homily, “we don’t have to worry about anything instead we should pray for everything”.

         

       There is also a time when I questioned God why my parents separated, why is it that my father didn’t contact me, didn’t he love me? Or he doesn’t care about me. It’s really painful when you don’t know the real thing and you are afraid to ask someone who knows about it. Why it should be me? From that time onwards I began to gaze at the other side of life. I’ve realized that I am surrounded with extraordinary people, my family, friends, and God who loves me most, who understands and accepts me for who I am. I have to appreciate and enjoy everything that comes in my life so that in the end I will not regret. Therefore, there is no sense to be sad at all. Everything really happens for a reason, God knows about it. What he wants is for our own good for us to view different sides of life and to understand our existence fully.

         

     God is my protector, my inspiration, my crying shoulder, my healer and my comforter; ready to listen, help, love and care; the one who can bring greatness out of a great mess. Serving, trusting, and loving God are the things I can offer to Him fully to strengthen our relationship. Going to church on Sunday, attending activities about Him, giving thanks and praising Him is the best thing I’ve done for Him. I will keep myself in touch with Him for He is my life forever and ever.
