a helping hand
i just turned a year older last week. it was a very simple and quiet celebration and i was happy. but life does not seem to tire from giving us challenges, no? i guess that's the essence of living and breathing--being able to overcome your weaknesses and fight the battles that life has for you.. but as i see it now, it doesn't hurt to ask for help especially from those you know will try their best to help you.
today, i received an email about helping hands. here is the quote:
Today, God wants you to know that if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
i find myself crying when i think about my problems and how things would be lighter if my dad is still around.. his hands are what i would want to hold onto during times like these but i know that there are other people in my circle that are willing to extend theirs. today, my former boss proved that his hands are what i need to solve one of my problems. i am thankful that God put me here so that i could meet someone as willing and helpful as my former boss. i will forever remember his kindness and generosity wherever life takes me.
i can't help but cry. i'm such a softy and i hate it!! hehe. i have to hate it because there is a bigger problem that i'll have to face soon and i can't afford to be a softy and emotional right now.. i can't let my enemies see my tears! that is my battle cry.
so for those struggling, at a point of breaking down, feeling helpless and alone, please know that God is also doing something to help you in His own way--just ask Him for His hands to help you because He will always help you despite the dark clouds that surround you.
