_ _ _ _, It is!

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! 🙏❤🙌
