“ His-STORY repeats in Me”

I Made it Through the Rain

They say “history repeats itself”.

If so, would it be okey if stories would just keep on  repeating over and over? 

Would we ever learn from stories which seem to be the same again and again? 

Well for one, i have this story;  I’ll just share it briefly — so just guess  who this character is!

Still remember these lines?:           

“We dreamers have our ways

of facing rainy days

and somehow we survive..” 

– this has been her secret theme song from that one night when she had to make one major decision in her life. In the stillness of dawn, while gazing thoughtfully at her sleeping kids, she bravely told herself:  “i’d still be here until my “baby” grows up!”

Just like other cancer-stories which we keep on hearing now and again, those tears of wanting to survive made her breakthrough those pains which were doubled & even tripled when some unkind intentions tried to add to her injury.  Nevertheless, each quiet time with God which were all deep & sincere, gave her the power to look strong & take note, “pretty” even in “not so obvious” synthetic hair.

God never changed!

For three years now, God’s unfailing promise of love made her chase her fears away.

Just like any other story,  survival posts as happy ending. But what I’ve learned: God cannot really change! That impossibility of Elizabeth, giving birth to John despite old-age in today’s gospel in Lk 1:57-66, 80 , is the same miracle that He is trying to perform until this time. “His-story” of love is something we can really hold on to – a story which He allows to be repeated in each of us; an experience which we can share to others to fulfill our vocation of bringing others close to God; and most specially, a story which brings me to realization that God’s LOVE is an assurance that CANCER IS LIMITED!

That song which lingers in the heart: “I’ve Made it Through The Rain”! — is that song which would bring difference in a usually told ordinary story#
