Sometimes the only way to know love is to experience what love is not.
Whatever the question, challenge or decision, love is always the answer.
God is perfect love, and His desire is for us to model His character. Healing from hurts moves us closer to love

Akal a ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa Amerika ka akala nila madami kanang pera. Ang totoo, madami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka credit history ka, kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano. Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.
Aka la nila mayaman kana kase may kotse kana. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa Amerika maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow.Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa Amerika.
Akal a nila masarap ang buhay dito sa Amerika. Ang totoo puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka pwedeng tumambay sa kapit bahay kase busy din sila maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng pictures mo sa Disney, Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at iba pang attractions. Ang totoo kailangan mong ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong pinangbayad sa ticket.
Akala nila malaki na kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo malaki pag pinalit mo ng peso pero dolyar din ang gastos mo sa Amerika. Ibig sabihin, ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastosin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas, $1.00 sa Amerika, ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa Pilipinas P40.00. sa Amerika $6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000.00 sa Pilipinas, sa Amerika $1,000.00++
A kala nila buhay milyonaryo kana kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo. Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa Amerika, lalo na mga nurse. Mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas, madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pagdatin g ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo, pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng Amerika.Hindi sabihin dolyar ang sweldo mo yayaman kana, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa. Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay. Hindi pinupulot o pinipitas ang pera dito. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan!!!

What you got if you aint got love? The kind that you just wanna give away It's okay to open up Go ahead and let the light shine through I know it's hard on a rainy day You wanna shut the world out And just be left alone Don't run out on your faith
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing Is just a grain of sand What you've been out there searching for forever, Is in your hands When you figure out love is all that matters, after all It sure makes everything else Seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside A problem that seems so big, at the time It's like a river that's so wide It swallows you whole While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change And worryin' about all the wrong things Time's flying by, moving so fast You better make it count, cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing Is just a grain of sand What you've been out there searchin for forever Is in your hands Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all It sure makes everything else Seem so small
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing Is just a grain of sand What you've been out there searchin for forever Is in your hands Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all Oh it sure makes everything else Seem so small

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You're
I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean A vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love and watch me rise again Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea Would call out through the rain And calm the storm in me
I am Yours Whom shall I fear Whom shall I fear 'Cause I am Yours I am Yours
