Have faith. Take courage.

...because your faith flourishes ever more. -2 Thessalonians 1:3

It was heartbreaking to watch the news today. Indeed, heaven is shedding buckets, mourning for the tragedy that had transpired in Quirino Grandstand. Innocent lives claimed, traumatized hearts and spirits remain.

It is during times like this that the Lord calls us to let our faith in Him flourish even more. We might have the usual "Why, Lord?" question plaguing our minds right now. But I am led to hold such thoughts and just go down on my knees and pray for our country, for the hurt, for the bereaved, for the broken, and the lost such as Mendoza.

Our God is bigger than all of this.
Jesus, calm the storm in all of us.

Ciao!

PS. Please pray for Rye who is down with fever right now. He lives alone in Palawan and obviously, I can't fly there tonight.

Lord, please touch Rye with Your healing grace at this very moment. Take care of Him for me. Amen.
