PURPOSE DRIVEN DESTINATION
Time after time, days go by, weeks run out, and years count the timeline of our existence. So far, it's been three decades of life, and the journey continues. Hopefully, I can go another five, maybe even six or seven decades, by His grace.
My purpose here is known, and I am only just beginning to piece the puzzle together. It has been difficult to gather the pieces, and trust me, it's even more challenging to fit them into place. They say nothing comes easy, but you will never truly understand this saying until you reach that point where you are striving to assemble your pieces, searching relentlessly to solve the mystery called LIFE.
One thing remains constant: GOD. You must stay true to Him, to His words, and to yourself. Hopefully, you will arrive at your destination at the right time. I am far from where I am destined to be, but these three incredible decades of assembling the pieces have only been preparation for the journey ahead.
Now, I am on my way. I must continue to stay true to the constant, the unchanging K—God (Many people grow too comfortable along the way and simply ignore Him)—without whom I wouldn’t have come this far.
Yes! PEACE (Perfect Peace), LOVE (True Love in its purest, undiluted form), and FAITH (Absolute Faith). Without these, you will find yourself merely going around in circles. These are not the end of the journey, but they are the essentials—the vitamins of existence.
Your Cave (If you don’t have one, you should) is the ideal place to truly know yourself. It is where you can regularly and realistically examine the workings of your mind and heart. When evaluating our progress as individuals, we often focus on external factors—social position, influence, popularity, wealth, and educational attainment. And yes, these are indeed important metrics for measuring material success, something many have achieved.
However, internal factors are far more critical in assessing personal growth as a human being. Honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, pure generosity, absence of vanity, contentment, and the willingness to serve others—qualities within reach of every soul—form the foundation of one’s spiritual life.
Who Are You?
Are You True to Yourself and Your God?
Are You at Peace with Yourself?
Remember, a saint is a sinner (the one who admits to being a sinner) who keeps on trying.

Ooooooooops!!!
Just like yesterday, I got a message from her. It came as a surprise—yet devastating news. But I allowed time to play its part, to let it sink in, really sink in. Yeah! It eventually did, and I started seeing myself in a new image, a new figure, a new status—perhaps a new man.
The feeling was indescribable. I wasn’t sad; I wouldn’t say I was happy even though I was, but it wasn’t complete happiness. I thought about where I was coming from, where I was, wishing I could have changed things and made them happen the way I planned. So, I wasn’t in the middle; I was closer to happiness than anything else. I was overwhelmed at the same time, so I shed tears of joy!
It’s a gift. Yeah, a wonderful gift from God. I felt it wasn’t the right time, but I wanted it. I wasn’t prepared. I was caught napping—at my lowest. A period when I was just trying to gather my pieces and bits. I had some of them but didn't know where to place them. And then the news came—it was sometime towards the end of August 2013.
It made me! That news made me who I am today, different from who I was last year. Exactly one year ago, I was homeless, unmarried, not man enough—blind to so many things. I just lived! Now, I have a purpose for living. I have a home, not just a roof over my head. I have a friend, and that friend is now my wife. 😄 All in one year! I’m blessed; God blessed me with all these within a year.
So, today, exactly one year after the first news, I received the same news again. This time, it’s instant good news! The feeling is different. I danced around the living room with butterflies singing in my belly while I moved to the rhythmic tunes. I really can’t wait to see you... sobs (The writer became so emotional, his hands too shaky to continue writing). 😜

Been a Minute
Putting pen to screen again and again after a very loooooong time [Yeah, as long as the number of "Os" in LONG]. My handwriting looks weird, i don't even know how to trace my letters anymore to discover the way my handwriting used to look like.
But I'm going to try hard, I will try my best to get back to the best look again.
Welcome back to my blog, i promise not to go away for too long again... :D
Glad to have you here.
I have changed too, just to let you know. Nooooo, i'm a better person now, matured and married too.
Good to be back.
