Lately I've realized that I haven't been as good with fighting off diseases as I used to be in the past. Well, there was a time before that in which I used to struggle with some other types of infections as well. As my blog follower put it, in a sense, I also need to 'clean out' my body (from germs) as well...
He's paid our dues...
[Verse 1]
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakeS
I've made a few
I've come through...
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakeS
I've made a few
I've come through...
We'll keep on fighting till the end...
Have time for losers...Cause we are the champions...of His world...
['His' Queen]

So....basically I've come to the realization that I've been pretty much having almost seven years of silence on this blog. Does that mean 'the dark Knight' has disappeared? Did some believe perhaps he perished? Or maybe God was helping him to 'take out the trash'...? It can be amazing sometimes what your community can do for you in service when you are also faithfully serve your community...sometimes that is just how you gotta as the movie says 'attack life', how to "stay in control of the game when the puck isn't yours..." it takes both doing the Work of God while doing his Will and it'll all be (Ducks)Worthwhile :)
As my spiritual director put it, "sometimes God can speak very loudly through your circumstances" and I did understand the main point the Lord wanted to get across was that 'you cannot stay at seminary because of J...' and it took me many a years to discern his will behind that and in the meantime I have been prayerfully trying to serve him to the best of my ability given my limited spiritual and physical resources. In essence I had sort of become the dark Knight, but also the anti-version because I had been 'exiled' (probably a little harsher sounding than I think it should be) from seminary and also had very limited material resources compared to Bruce Wayne in the movies.
Interestingly enough in the years that followed my 'exile', there have been a lot of legal charges and scandals that took place in my local church and either I was as the recent TV series The Good Place put it 'the kink in the system' or maybe as I now try to look at the good/God side of these events, maybe God's like: "Oh believe me my beloved son, there are much more publicly humiliating sins you could have committed and try not to look too severely at your own sin, just continue being faithful to me 'in little...' As well, your aspiration to continue to seek my face in marriage and to be married before your return to seminary is in fact a noble one..."
iSaveTheLastDance: "It was my stupid prayer that God will make it abundantly clear as to who I should marry so that I can honor Him in this area and I wanted so badly for it to come true..."
"It maybe can still come true..." ['A' Friend]
