Christmas season, yay!
Honestly, I've never really been a fan of the tradition of simbang gabi. I couldn't even remember completing it even way back when I was still an altar server.
But this year, I choose to be different. This year, I am determined to complete all the 9 days. I am not after the wishes to be granted after. I am after thoroughly preparing myself for Jesus' coming.
As a lay-servant, my relationship with the Lord is but normal. There are times when I am completely devoted and times when I completely falter away. I am but human anyway. But these past two years have been bring me back to my senses. Studying in DBCS has definitely made me realized how blessed, loved, and grateful I am and should be for all the wonderful things that He has never failed to give me.
I used to believe in wishes. But I know right now that wishes are but the tip of the iceberg. When it all comes down to it, prayers are still the best way to believe in Him.
So here's to days 1 to 9 of simbang gabi, here's to a more meaningful preparation for His coming.
