Thursday, March 08, 2012. Oftentimes, it is hard to learn to be dependent on someone else. Especially if you have spent most of your adult life being independent. Many things that you have taken for granted now become precious. It is a lesson on humility. I am learning to accept the goodness of people here. Thank God that there are still people like that. And hopefully, someday soon, I too will be able to pass forward the goodness that I received and give it to those who are in need. An apple a day.

http://swimmingjega.blogspot.com/2011/12/driving.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. I have been practicing how to drive the past few months. It's fun and frightening at the same time. I remember the first time when my husband brought me to a university parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. There were no cars so it was safe (for others! I was able to practice driving at 25 miles/hour. For a newbie like me, that was terrifying! I could feel the motor revving up and it made me feel shaky. Driving is one of those things I wanted to learn as part of my bucket list...

Thursday, September 09, 2010. Time does not heal. We’ve heard of the old adage : Time heals. I learned though (thanks to Boundless! That it is not true. It is not time which heals us. It is God. We have heard of many stories wherein decades would pass by yet a hurt person would not be able to forgive another person or even himself/herself. Thankful that God created time. Most importantly, that He could heal pain. Any pain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my world. My site. My mind. An apple a day.

Thursday, April 14, 2011. Or when an organization feeds hundreds of hungry people or sends poor kids to school? I know though that little things matter. Even by just forwarding a website. Or giving a book. A book (The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson) I gave to this same friend fell into the hands of her brother. His dreams were reawakened. He decided to shift his career direction and is now going through training to pursue his dreams in computer art. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Members of my universe.

...: Just a piece in the Story
http://swimmingjega.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-piece-in-story.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Just a piece in the Story. Yet, I know that God is concerned about my personal story. How? From Bible stories. Jesus took time to talk to a Samaritan woman, who wrongfully lived with five men, so that she would receive the Living water. He called on to Zacchaeus and visited his house so that this tax collector could repent and give back what he took. Jesus personally spoke to Saul for him to change from the wrong path to the True Way to follow God. Just a piece in the Story.

Tuesday, November 01, 2011. So here it is, one of my meanderings. I want to write something each day, especially the first time experiences but somehow I can’t put them into pretty words. But who said that they should be pretty? C and I am very happy. It was 7. I was raking leaves a few days ago. I never thought I. Would do that one day. But there I was, making 5 piles of dry leaves. There is some satisfaction from doing some hard labor (hard? Exercise pa kamo hehehe. 10:42 AM, November 02, 2011. In a Pi...

Wednesday, December 28, 2011. It is a little late for posting but here is the turkey we had for Thanksgiving. It weighed around 22 pounds! That is almost 10 kilos! Just imagine how heavy it was! Happily, 9 people shared in eating half of it and the rest were eaten by us for the next 3 days! I heard so much about how people eat too much on Thanksgiving. Maybe it was just our group but I think we showed some moderation and just ate a little more than usual. Thursday, December 22, 2011. Then, we started dri...
