running in circles

sometimes i feel like im running in circles. naalala ko what some people say... that life can be compared to a marathon... well, i guess if life is a marathon, then there must be something wrong with the track and field -- it must be made of wet sand :) anyway, seriously... seems like the questions im asking myself lately and the problems im facing were the same questions and problems i have encountered not too long ago... in fact, maybe just a few months or weeks ago... to be honest, it gets a little frustrating... especially since im not getting any younger :)

pero what's ironic is that, im still hopeful. i think it's an even crazier idea to give up on ourselves because there's a God who believes in us... the same God who is the Creator and Lord of this entire universe, would never think of giving up on us and who has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. truly an awesome God who remains faithful, no matter how unfaithful we sometimes can be...

i may really not know so much about life and much of how it goes, but here's something i know for sure: whenever i think of my problems and compare them to the God who is gracious and loving enough to allow us to call Him "our Father", somehow things seem a little less crazy and this track and field we're all running on (more like trudging on, really) become a lot less daunting. life may really be a marathon after all, and guess what, our number one cheer leader, the one who holds the banner that says "we can make it" is none other than the same all-knowing God in control of everything. if that is the case, then i guess i can make it through the finish line after all.
