Ting..tong...ting...tong....then suddenly.."SURRRPPPRISSSSEE!!!!!"you're puzzled!
Have you ever experienced that?
Sure you did.. i mean, it's not necessarily that someone come over and knocked your door and shouted "Surprise!'
what i mean is, when you finally feel your life has settled down, you find yourself a little peaceful for a while, suddenly another event come across! And that event is something big enough to make your thought upside down and you feel yourself experiencing kind of difficulty or obstacle. Or, suddenly a big news hit you and you are over joyed. That is what i meant by the word "Surprise!".
Regardless of how big or sad or bitter or happy or joyful an event have made you felt, you sometimes find yourself taken aback by surprise. Life as everyone knows is unpredictable. If we can foresee or know what happen tomorrow then we are not human. Right? Some fortune tellers tell you what your future would be, actually they themselves didn't know, they just make the statement and as you already set your mind to believe what they say, so you think your future will be exactly what they told you. hehehe...at least that is what i thought about fortune teller. No one could tell what future hold! Only Almighty GOD!
Anyway, back to surprise...so far, i have had experienced many kind of surprises in life. Being alive for more than 30 years now is such a blessing. Good and bad things happen taking turns and sometime at the same time.When bad things happen continuously one after another, i would feel so hopeless. In my life journey so far, i've made lot wrong things, made many spontaneous decisions, i've hurt many feelings and i have sinned to GOD. (Forgive me Father, i humbly ask) Those things though, i wish i've never made them, but i couldn't redo them and they are just a part of me that i should learn from, forget and eventually find myself to forgive myself. Surprises come in life not only result of own's decision and behavior but it comes with others that are closed to us including families and friends and also by strangers.
When i experienced a rather bitter and sour life's surprise...i used to wish to run away and put the surprise behind my back. I used not to care and pretended not being affected. That was when i was full of myself only think of myself. When i think of "Why should i care" i've become really selfish. Never want to understand others especially their feelings..But, now, i've come mature with time..i've faced many of that "bitter surprises" and they made me realized, running away or pretending nothing happen, never really solve the problem. In fact, never carry a problem alone in your shoulder...there are many good and trusted friend to share the the burden. Sharing and voicing out problem will lighten the burden.
Now, when "This Big Surprise" visiting me again i am more calm, peaceful and face it with courage! I have many friends who support me with their prayers and I know that because i believe God is at Work! He will never leave me alone to face this surprise and there is NO greater surprise than He is.
Life's surprise is Nothing in God! He is the Greatest!
Me, Myselft and I----- Please keep than in mind...A.L.W.A.Y.S!!!!
