I am not religious...Just In Love

Early morning just before 8am, i received a text message...my very first message of my first day of the week...a message that awoken me completely and helped me stay awake for the rest of the day. (Just like a bucket of cold water splashed on my face).

It was a question.

"Are you really religious? Nakakatawa ka naman. Hindi ka nahihiya. Baka sabihin nila sobra ka religious. Tapos gusto mo din yung mga maka-Diyos. Wow naman. (sarcastic) OA ni Pacquiao sa pagpray e. Si Gary okay lang, pero ayoko ng puro sa Diyos ang kanta. Gawa mo?

In english: Are you religious? It's funny. Are you not ashamed? People might say you are being too religious. Then you also like people who are Godly. Wow (sarcastic). Pacquiao is over reacting when praying. Gary is okay. But i don't like songs that are mostly for God. What are you doing?

Here's my answer: "I am not religious, I just love the Lord."

To my dear friend,

As a Born Again Christian, i don't really have a religion. I don't even follow any religious rituals or customs or anything. But i do have a relationship with God as my father, with Jesus as my Savior and with Holy Spirit as my guide and protector. I hope i made that clear. I pray every time and anytime of the day. When i pray, i talk to God like a daughter talking to her Daddy. He also happens to be my bestfriend...so when i pray to God i tell Him my feelings and simple things about my day, although i know He can see me. It's that simple.

I don't see Pacquiao, a World Boxing Champion and Gary Valenciano, a World Class Performer as religious also. All i know is they love God and they are not ashamed to show that to other people and they are blessed! Well you see...if you will be ashamed of God...He will be ashamed of you as well.

I admire them. I honestly do.

And from what i see, there are less and less people who are like them... who still believe in God, who do what is right...who follows what is good, who think of others other than themselves. And that's the reason too why the World is at its..."worst"
People now are blinded by their own "gods" - fame, money and material stuffs.

I have proven my point.

Enough said.

Parang may idea ako sino nagtanong ng ganito? Si Ms Bag girl noh. Bitch talaga yun.

After my nap, my mom asked me to accompany  her to the grocery store to again find some alcohol, canned goods and frozen food to help us ...
