life is a storm, fight through it.

The leaves on the trees grew their colors apart. The temperature is dropping. We’re starting to warm up our cars and cover ourselves in warm clothes. We could see ourselves breathing where ever is cold. The bears are hibernating. The snow is coming toward us. Winter is beckoning for me. No matter if we love it or not, the days will go by. Cherish what you have now. Tomorrow isn’t a guarantee.

There are so much things I wanted to share but then, I lost a track of it. I wish I still am able to write my blogs daily like its a journal. I used to write everything that is on my mind. I also realize that back then, beside school, I stayed home. My parents don’t let me to go out and socialize unless if its a Mormon activity. So then, I was lonely. The papers and pen are what kept me sane. Music and movies too. And now, I’m not lonely anymore. I went out when I want to. Nobody can tell me that I can’t. So that I’m doing things when I went out, I am busy. Where is the time for me to write all of my thoughts now? It’s gone. I miss that habit of writing. I know its never too late to bring it back but then, I’m happy where I am now, nevertheless.

One thing I’d like to share about from my road trip from home to Utah… I was so confident about this trip and I knew I’ll be happy with whatever I’m going to do while I’m at Utah. Before I left, I said several prayers in a row – non stop. I don’t know why but I did. When I hopped into my car, I was SOOOO thrilled to leave already. Little did I know, at the beginning of the road trip, I drove through the freakiest storm of my life. I’ve never experienced it before. It felt like a hurricane attacked the area. My car was trying to get out of the control. I can feel it with my steering wheel, tires and everything. I couldn’t even see 3 foot further than my car. It was SOO foggy that all I see are grey and white. It was also pouring so hard that my car went off the track several times. I believed that it’s a bit flooded. Not to mention this but the winds blew so hard. My car were tipping at some points. I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do but to say my prayer was the first thing that came to my mind. I turned off my radio and started to say my prayer while I was driving. All of the sudden, the storm faded away and I can feel I’m in the completed control of my car. I felt peace but then, I saw cars and trucks were parking on the side of the highway like they’re still stuck in the storm. The first thing I thought was, “Why didn’t they keep going and beat the storm?”

Its just like life. When it gets so hard, why did we stop and wait til someone saves us? Why can’t we fight through it? No matter if you’re feeling alone, you’re never alone. We all are a lot stronger than we think we are. God may not take the obstacles and problems away just because its hard for us. When we face one of them, all we can do is to pray and ask the Lord to help us to get through it. Never hide from them and wait for an angel to come to get you. If you want to get out, the only way you can do is to go through it.

You are the warrior of life, Fight it!
