Two years ago, I decided to accept a new work assignment in Benguet.
At first, my parents were hesitant, but they supported me. The mission organization set up a field office here and I really enjoyed working with the youth and the local people. I missed my work at Esther's Home but Rachel graciously accepted to take charge indefinitely. And I'm really happy to know that she's doing very well.
I still visit Today's Hope when I have time whenever I report to the main office. The Boy's Home was constructed already and I heard that the DGN Construction Company is now renovating the Girls' Home in Laguna. It surprised me that Daniel did what he planned. I remember him saying that he was praying to help in the reconstruction of the Girl's Home. I'll have to thank him when I have the chance.
"Hi, Faith. I'm so sorry I'm late." Thea said.
"Oh, you're just in time."
Thea's my friend since primary school. She transferred in Benguet a year before me. She told me that she fell in love with this place and with that she was convincing me to settle here. Surprisingly, the mission organization expanded its program to the youth of Benguet and here I am. And I thanked God, my adjustment could never be easier without this wonderful lady. And maybe, this is where I really meant to be.
Today Rachel will come to visit me. She said we'll just meet at the museum.
At the museum, I noticed a new frame placed on a small table near the window. It was different. I knew this because almost everyday, Thea and I will pass by to go to the coffee shop located at the lower ground of the museum. Inside the wooden frame were two poems written side by side. I'm familiar with the poems...
I Will Wait
You'd been leaving soon
And I don't know what to say
I wanted to hold you
Just for another day
The memories we shared
Will never be forgotten
Your smiles and laughter
Are here to linger
In my heart,
I wanted you to stay
But I understand
That you must go again
This is only for a while
That I know
Just promise me you'll come back
I will wait for you
Whenever you're alone
Just remember I'm just here
Standing still....
I am praying
May the Lord protect you
In everything you do...
May He always guide you
Wherever you may go
May you always be reminded
Of this love from above
As we wait for the moment
To embrace our hearts...
For the One Who Waits

SpiritualLetting go is so easy for some but not for me. I don't know but my heart is just so stubborn. I don't easily give up. It takes me a very long time to let go. My eyes can always see the other side of the story. A flicker of light in the candle gives...
