Ever had one of those days when you think you have just seen everything? This was all a joke to me when it started, but I actually find it now so "bloggable", and in my lone moments, I must admit, could be quite a boggle. Let me start with Monday.

Monday was when I first saw Andi. As Anna's friend, I have been waiting for this precious one to come out of her tummy for nine loooong months. I saw my friend [and JA] change her lifestyle in many ways just for Andi. I saw her [and JA] give up many things too just because it might not be good for Andi. I saw her through pains she could not control, still because of Andi. Many things were about Andi. And now that she is born, it's still Andi. Andi, Andi, Andi. I realized that from the time Andi was conceived and formed inside of the body, God had already made her special. Until I saw her face for real and be in awe of how I can just see both JA and Anna at once in such a tiny, tiny face, and how delicate the process of making, delivering, [and now] attending to her is, it was the only time I experienced the truth of how we all are "fearfully and wonderfully made"; none of us an exception, because just like Andi, we were all made and born into the world the same way.

I think Monday was tiring enough that I decided to go for a movie. Then, I never saw it. I had encountered something that was larger than what I thought I could handle. I was really asking God why He was giving me all sorts of things that were beyond my power. An overwhelming feeling of inadequacy enveloped me. By 11pm, [I didn't think but] I was definitely exhausted. I prayed myself to sleep...only to find myself recalling more from the weekend ago. My heart was heavy, grieving for a lot of the things I saw. The only thing I knew at that point was that I don't know anything except for God. That was more than what sleepasil can do to give me good and restful sleep despite everything.

Then come Tuesday, when I dropped by St. Luke's to see my friend who has Meningitis. He was unconscious the whole time I was in London. Honestly, a lot thought that he would not survive it...but he did and I thanked our God of second chances. I learned that he acquired this illness from drinking an expired stress tablet. It's funny how that made me realize what a little mistake, a little misconception, a little negligence could do....It can actually kill you. And you eventually find out that the little wrong that has become your judgment, is just a sum of all the previous similar ones- big and small- you have doine or neglected or justified in the past. After all, my friend took that medicine because he was stressed. His wife said that prior to this unfortunate event, he hasn't been sleeping for a week. He was over working....and he took that pill (and therefore, that fate!) at work and was too tired to check for the expiry date.  He is on his second month now of being in the hospital, and though it definitely costs them a lot, I am glad to find out that he's recovering and that aside from the way the Lord, for them, provides, they also have a growing knowledge of Him. I guess that's all that matters.

This very same Tuesday, one of the girls I kinda counsel, came with me to the house, and sometimes, the things I say, I wonder, feels like they are much better said to the air than to her, but...you don't leave anyone out in the rain, right? That's just not what Jesus would do. For another night, I was exhausted.

Wednesday, I witnessed someone who just has so much love to give and to receive, but was waiting on someone who just didn't give it. Again, I stand by this person knowing that I was once this blinded by the kind of love that I knew. It took some crushing before I got that one does not know love until they know Jesus. Until then, I can only be a quiet and patient friend who loves at all times. I admit, it ticks me off to have to hear about others' madness and cruelty, and it's hard to consistently put to practice what I believe in but...by God's grace, I am able to get by.

Still Wednesday, I went to a wake. I see that the dead has not, but a lot has woken up. Death will always remind you of how fleeting everything is, how numbered your days are, how grace can just hold each other up. I didn't stay very long there, but I was glad to be able to come.

I went straight to visit JA and Anna after that. They're already back home, and as I knocked on their door, I immediately noticed that what was once a living room filled with my nonsense kwentos (stories), is now of Andi's cries. Everything was just...different. Like overnight, it all became like that. I went home realizing again how all of us, as babies, along with joy and wonder, can also bring about a drastic change like that in our parents' lives. We are that special. The world has to make room for each and every one of us whether the world likes it or not.

Now, it's Thursday and the only thing I can make out of the past three days, is that while God is so good to have allowed me to watch and learn from all, doesn't mean I am able to solve the hows and whys behind them. God is a great mystery, and in seasons of omniscience, I grow to love Him more for his omnipotence; And in times wherein I feel like I can't take in any more than what I know, I can be rest assured that the only answer is in the almighty God.
