Its been awhile, I know but a lot of things have happened and I just don’t have the time to do a lot of stuff – one of which is blogging. I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of first before I get back on the bandwagon and it being the new year although 19 days too late I have to clean up my act and make good on my promises most especially to myself.
Having said that, I can now move on to the important part – my New Year’s Resolution or my lack thereof. I don’t have a New Year’s Resolution, I stopped making one years and years ago. You see, I don’t want to make the New Year an excuse to make a “New Me” or a “Better Me”, it just wouldn’t work for me. But I am trying to make the best of myself not because its a whole new year but because I want to.
And I want to start by raising awareness and to at least do my part in giving the people of Haiti a voice. I won’t elaborate on the suffering because the television, internet and all types of media are full of that. I don’t want to rub salt to an already very open wound, all I want is to light a candle, offer prayers and give space for websites dedicated to alleviating the fear and suffering of Haiti.
I also want to share a miracle, two miracles in fact, amidst all the chaos and misery that is present worldwide and although this catastrophic event might seem like God’s fury to those in the midst of it (I would feel the same way), still God finds a way to show us that there is hope for us. Why else would He save two babies five and six days after the earthquake without food and water? Why save these innocent babies while countless others are suffering and thousands dead? Why indeed…
There is a reason for everything, we might not know it now but someday, somehow we’ll know and when we do, we won’t be as miserable and as hateful as now. Hate and sorrow are two emotions that go hand in hand, we all have to deal with it, we all have to experience it. But how you learn from it is your decision alone. I don’t know how I would fare if I am put in the same situation but this is all I can do for now – to light a virtual candle for all the dead, dying, suffering, wounded people especially the innocent children of Haiti.
For the children of Haiti
