Typhoon Yolanda

I can't even begin how to do my post on this very tragic news in the Philippines. Every time I watch news, my heart bleeds and aches and the worst part of it is I cannot do any little help. The only thing I can do is to cry my heart out and sympathize with what the victims of yolanda are going through right now. I didn't write this to discuss about the donations and help, nor the suffering of all those people. I keep on praying and bugging HIM eventhough Im aware how HE must be really busy right now hearing all those anguish, questions and painful plea for help. I will not stop bugging HIM. I will not stop crying until my eyes run dry. I want to do this not just for the people who need them, it's more for me as I know that I have so little ways of extending my help to them. Let me take this chance to ask for your help to say a silent prayer for those who doesn't have any ways of seeing a silver lining on this tragedy.

I know that many have questioned why this is happening to our country, to our world. Some might have asked God why He let this happen. I may be one of those people who got tons of questions in my head. We may not get the answers to all these but I know for sure that God will help us find the way to overcome these pain and struggles. Don't we always just look back at some of the painful memories in our past where some we just laugh it off or some we were still in awe on how we manage to get off that mess or some still brought us pain. May God shine His light upon the victims of yolanda. May the souls of those who never survived find peace and love in God's hands. I pray more for those who survived, eventhough they're alive, couldn't find it a "good thing" that they survived to see what is now in front of them, to see what was left of what they used to call home, to see how many loved ones they lost, to see the grief from all the corners of where they were standing now. This isn't a movie that you can stop crying after 2 and a half hours. It may take a lot more than that to get over this kind of experience. But I hope that I will still and will always prays for them.

But you are stronger, stronger than you know
