Thought that falling in love is
Limited to a person
But there's more to it...
As love is deep and vast
That reaches even far away
From possibilities, way hard to imagine.
I fell in love with a place
Where I called myself a stranger
Yet became a lover
As my soul learned...
To care, share
And not fear.
This time marks the 8th year
Since I stepped in
To a place unfamiliar to me
But later on...
Became my home
CEBU, it is! 😂
I left Cebu last January 2020
Decided to be back to my hometown
Longing to see my family
Yet my heart was torn...
I fell in love with Cebu
That even leaving was heartbreaking.
I could tell back then
Seeing Cebu again
Would still take time to happen
God is calling me back to my hometown
For a long term, if the Lord wills...
Then a few months after, pandemic came.
Never expected this became serious
Thanks be to God
That I'm back to my hometown
Since the end of January
However, Cebu still holds a special place
in my heart. ❤
Cebu is like my real home
Where I met some people
Who knew the real me.
Welcomed me, accepted me, loved me
When I met them
It's like I saw God shining on their faces.
Ever since I was young
I used to dream
Traveling around the world
Not just spectacular sights
But more so I could meet
Different people and cultures.
Then God brought me to Cebu
Just one place
Yet God let me experience
Meeting locals and internationals
This was what I was dreaming of
God granted it and I couldn't ask for more.
Last January was my birthday
And the best gift I ever received?
Was sharing great moments
With those people in Cebu
I was grateful and thankful for
Though meeting them all was impossible! 😂
I am not really good in expressing myself
To the people I love
I may come off insensitive at times
Pretending not to care but I do
I just maybe have a different way
Of showing my affection! 😁
That's why I love writing
Though not really into it
Coz in this way...
I can express myself
Seriously and sincerely 😂
Especially to the people I treasure. ❤
I've been planning to write about Cebu
Ever since I left last January
I even failed to send some personal letters
To those people I cherish there
Coz' I couldn't help my tears 😢
So I just left them with prayers...
Only God could hear.
This writing I offer...
To all the people I met in Cebu
Including those people God used ❤
For me to be there. 😀
I thank the Lord
To the school where I learned
To the churches where I grew
To the workplaces where I thrived.
Not because of me...
But everything had happened
All by Christ's strength and for His glory!
Thanks to all the people He let me meet
and became a part of me. ❤
I hope to see you again 🙏
Sorry for this long overdue-writing 😂
I pray we'll meet face-to-face someday ❤
I thank God for your life!
Your life matters to God.
Your life is a blessing to me.
May your life continue to bless others
for God's glory! 🙏❤🙌
