“Getting Smaller in Smaller Things”

FAYE ESQUILLO

Meditation with Fr. Francis Ongkingco, Woodrose School Chaplain

This meditation so resonates with me.  Three things I realized.

I realized that another essential item that made me survive my ordeals last year was my decision to move forward one step at a time. Instead of thinking about my future plans, I prayed to God for signs.

Second, when I decided to open up again, I rediscovered the awe and wonder I have always felt before with things and situations around me. I now appreciate again even the “small and simple” things.

Third, when I decided to share my story, my thoughts, and my feelings instead of doing my best not to expose myself and feel vulnerable, I realized my higher purpose.

I continue to thank God for the gift of life.
