Sometimes I wish...

We're halfway through our Blog Hop



I'm the 14th among 28 beautiful souls participating in this event.
I wrote this as I read Mary's post over her blog Living with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease .
I am humbled and touched by your kindness Mary. You are so loved BS!
Thank you!
I used to ask God for enormous things like a 'stigmata' (either on my left or right hand). Just like the one San Francesco and Padre Pio had...

Or 
an apparition from an angel ... 

 I thought it might help me gain respect from other people...

or perhaps God will protect me from life's harsh realities because I bear Christ's wounds...


Sometimes I wish...

God has preserved me from childhood traumas...
then it would've been easier to relate with other people...

Anzi...

I wish all children would be loved for their worth ~ 
and selfishness will be banished from this world...
-----

Sometimes I wish...

I could've been more sincere...
then I could've saved a lot of people from unnecessary pain.

-----

Sometimes I wish...

People know the difference between enough and too much.
Then we'll learn to give and create space for others.

-----

I reflected...

I do bear Christ's wounds in my brokenness.
 If I had been spared of all the dramas, I wouldn't even care so much. 
I would be blind to God's loving mercy and abundant graces.

All my experiences led me here
with the children...
outside the walls...
----
God weaves a beautiful tapestry, e v e r y single moment
even with the loose threads.
And my history is written in the pages of God's book forever
without edits.




Now it's time to bow down and put my dear friend on the limelight...

She's one of the most gracious lady photographers I met in the blog world.
She has introduced me to new places in Europe along with the different cultures
in her blog Nelmitravel.

One thing common about us is ~ 
we both love
Africa :)

lots of love! 




What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if the trials of this life
The rains, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
~ Blessings, Laura Story Lyrics ~
