Everything is so abstract, yet laws have been established proving that these things do exist and really do whatever our textbooks say. Same thing with our faith, we believe in Him even if we don't see Him because we see the tangible effects. Just like we see the bubbles fizzing out of a vinegar and baking soda chemical reaction, we see how He works in our lives through the beautiful things around us. We don't see Him, but we know He's there. We know He makes things happen."
I can't remember the last time anybody sent me a nice, non-pompous, non-chain message text about God. I hate how people send me those messages that say any derivative of this SMS: "Send this to 10 people if you believe in Jesus. Blah blah blah." Somehow, it feels hollow, and let's face it, it's truly a waste of effort and prepaid. So it's weird (or serendipitous) how I encountered this quote in a blog of an acquaintance, someone I hardly know. But it's something that I didn't know that I needed to hear. I believe assurances more when it's something I don't ask for. Stumbling upon the quote was my tiny blessing for today; I need an unasked for reminder once in awhile that He's still out there.
You probably didn't peg me as the religious type; and it's true, I'm hardly the Virgin Mary. Far from it. But I do believe in something, or someone, bigger than me. It's both the one that pegs me down to the ground when I get too arrogant and/or reckless for my own good, and one that lifts me up to believe the possibilities. And that can't be a bad thing, right?
Maybe a little chemistry lesson is what I need right now.
Oh yeah, first day back in DLSU today (It was the land of the overdressed and numerous FROSHIES. I've never seen so much people in SJ Walk.) . Hello CommArts stress, yet again. I can't believe I'm in my junior year already.
