iamnalani
i'm nalani--hawaiian name that means 'silence of the heavens.' not that i am silent. hah,fat chance!
when there's nothing more left to say....
i point them back to God.
i think it's rather wise than to make up things that i know very well aren't sufficient and effective. besides, if things are beyond my comprehension, i'm sure that's the best course of action (come to think of it, it's always the best thing to do).
just like this morning. i was talking to one of the young people at church. i initially thought that it was just one of those times when she'd just tell me her latest adventure. i was surprised when her pain on certain matters began pouring out. i could sense that it is very deep. more suprised i guess when tears started rolling down. i was at a loss for words. and i told her that. didn't know what to tell her that would be both comforting and biblical. hay. all i could do was that--point her back to God--and give her a brief hug. i hope she knows by now that if ever she needs someone to listen to her rants, i'm one of those who'll be willing to listen. i guess that's the best thing i could do when i do not know what to say--listen.
i wish there was more i could say to her. but yeah, that's better than acting to be profound when in reality, all that i could have said would be just words with no substance at all. yeah, and cliches.

august is about to end. tingnan mo nga naman, september na. more than half of the year has passed. and boy was i right when i said at the beginning of this year that this is going to be one heck of a year. looking back on the things that had happened, i could say that, indeed, this is one heck of a year!
four more months to go. ano pa kaya ang mga mangyayari? will i be brave enough to say, "bring it on!"?
guess so
(sabay pray na,"Lord, nandyan Ka naman eh!)
