These weeks has been a trully 'university days' for me: classes, homeworks, assignments, papers, work hours and friendship times. At times, I smile so widely and enjoy this so much, since I know that this kind of crowd, busy and noisy days and nights, I hardly find in my small village which also my [neighbor's] farmland (by the way I was vegetable gardener!), where the youths of my age would be so far away in the days helping their parents cultivating their paddy fields (although sometimes I came along with them). However, I also feel sometimes to be over-loaded and overwhelmed here. But whatever I feel and think about what's happening with me right now, I realize that God has been very very faithful, firm, powerful, strong, loving, caring, and simply to say: He is everything for me.
And it is always a joy for me to keep this in my mind. In the mornings when I feel it'd be very hard to wake up, because I was so so tired and I'd think that it's better for continue sleeping :P, but by simply trusting in the Lord--that He is Faithful God both in the darkest and gloomiest days and in delightful ones, in the nights when I was anxious with the PSAL Physics project and Pedagogy microteaching plan--, then One thing is always to be priority, to trust Him and obey His Loving Will.
In every single laugther or tear, in every single smile or whimper, He is everywhere present. That also means whenever and wherever we are doing, we are always in one of this position: to obey or to rebel, to trust or to doubt, to heed or to ignore... Therefore, asking for God's mercy with contrition and humility must be in our days. "What is not in the light is all dark; likewise without humility there is nothing in a man but darkness alone."(St. Seraphim of Sarov) Yes, in everything, even in the sligthest matter. I would like to borrow Romanos' term for this: “all of us do witness” . And I am reminded by our Holy Fathers that our days are the days for repentace!
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner!
