Keystroke Journal

The year 2019 has been a challenging year but by God ‘s grace He made me go through it all. I now have to learn how to deal with this life-changing event every day. I don’t know for how long will this be the new normal but I know that God gives me strength through Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that I can be at peace despite having felt like I have been tossed back and forth by a raging sea; however, I am like that rock in the middle of the ocean that shall not be moved nor will I let the raging water currents erode my foundation.    There will be ups and downs; days of struggles and moments of giving up but in Christ alone will I put my trust.

I was quite surprised at first when I saw how people reacted about the recent earthquake because I'm used to these tremors in my home country -- and then I learned that it was the first time for almost everyone here in the east coast so that explains their unexpected reactions. Now, that is really something because it tells me that east coast's building structures and the people aren't prepared for earthquakes which explains some reports of buildings with cracks and people's "shocked" reactions. I was on the street when it happened so I didn't feel it. What was strange though was when I saw the birds flying up high abruptly as if something disturbed them. And then I heard people shout as they come out of the office buildings. At first, I thought there was a fire only to realize that it was an earthquake when I saw the lamp posts swaying wildly, back and forth. Oh well, I learned the following morning that there was a 4-point something aftershock at aro...

I hear the birds busily chirp outside the window, Spring time is just around the corner. I feel the gentle breeze of the wind as I stepped out, Spring time is just around the corner. Patches of green grass start to sprout as I gazed around, Spring time is just around the corner. Beautiful Daffodils and Violets spring up as I stooped down, Spring time is just around the corner. The glowing sun is up the whole day as I marvel God’s greatness, Spring time is just around the corner. Today is a hopeful beginning of a new season as I thank God For spring time is just around the corner.
