The past few days were filled with anxiety, confusion, nerve-wracking, pain-filled lazy days. I never went out of the apartment like I used to. I felt lonely and in pain. I got great job offers from good companies abroad, not to mention they are five star hotels. But, I felt like "He has more plans for me". I really felt so bad to refuse the offers. It was a very good opportunity to go abroad and gain a competitive advantage of having a work experience in a five star hotel. But again, the time was not right. I can't explain how I felt but I have to accept it and be strong. I have to have more faith in Him. Trust in Him and Believe that nothing is impossible through Him.
Prayers help me cope up with every difficult situation I encounter. I have this favorite church in Mactan Island where I always used to go and pray. I would always consult to God anything that bothers me. Then after every sharing, I would feel like my soul is free from all the negative vibes of the world. But what I have in this post are previous photos taken from one of Cebu's most religious places, Simala. I went there with my sister last year. It's a very holy place. There are special areas that will really feed your soul.
There are fresh flowers always in the church and their mass starts at 12 noon. They usually have only one mass per day or in special occasions two or more. It was Mama Mary's Birthday when we came there and it is also an important celebration there.
Mama Mary Halok is the most sacred place in there. Taking pictures is not allowed inside and also proper dress code should be observed to show respect to the place.
Everyone is free to express each one's religious beliefs and practices in the place.
There is a gallery of Mama Mary from different parts of the world in there.
Lighting candles play a very important role in our religious lives. Whatever one's religious practices are, still, the most important aspect is the faith within. Never forget to thank God everyday and always Reis Your Heart out in prayer. :)
