During my elementary days, I envied my classmates who wear eyeglasses. They looked like geniuses and smart kids. I could still remember I was asking my mom to buy me eyeglasses even when I have 20/20 vision. I would interview my classmates how does it feel to wear eyeglasses. One classmate of mine said, "Mahirap ang naka-eyeglasses!"
Two to three years ago, results of my eye checkup was my eyes are "astig" (as in astigmatic). I was advised to wear corrective eyeglasses. I was excited to wear eyeglasses. As I was wearing eyeglasses more often, I found out that eyeglasses are sort of obstruction on the face. I now fully understand my classmate's statement before. I hope and pray that my eyes won't be "astig" anymore. Funny me! I wonder if God is nodding his head and would scold me, "'Kala ko ba gusto mo ang naka-eyeglasses?!" I remember a Henry Blackaby's quote, "Oh God, if I ever give You a request and You have more to give me than I am asking, cancel my request!" :)
My brother likes hiphop/rnb sounds while driving. He would put down the car's windows plus have the audio's volume up plus matching wearing sunglasses equals 100 pogi points! My mom and I are quite annoyed with this style of his. I observed teenagers and young adults on the road and most of them have this style also. I guess this is just the trend. Recently, one sunny day while I was driving along traffic-free Katipunan Ave., a hiphop/rnb sound was played on the radio. I put down my car's windows plus have the audio's volume up. I said to myself, "Ah, ganito pala ang feeling!" I found out that hiphop/rnb is a good background music while driving. Hehe. I've learned that you'll never really know how it feels until you experience it yourself.
In life, sometimes we may feel that nobody really understands how we feel. We just have to remember that we have a God who understands us and He experienced it all. Hebrews 4:14-16 (The Message) says, "Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help."
