Chloe’s Inbox – Nothing is too hard for God

  Hi DJ,

  It’s been years since I wrote you a letter. Things are quite the same for me and my kids. Only now, my daughter is already working and my son is less than hundred units away from finishing his business management at La Salle. I hope my letter deserves a few minutes of your time. To start with, I am really a loser. I wasn’t able to make good of whatever I venture into. My self-worth is long gone. I made a lot of bad choices. I come to believe I am really a piece of sh**. To cut a tiring story short, I am now useless because of my spine condition, my friend who takes care of me together with my two kids seem to be so tired of doing so. She’s almost the same age as me. So I understand she’s not so happy doing all things in the house. This house is ours but we’ve been contemplating of leaving it. We’ve been abandoned for almost 8 years now. What kept me from leaving is that I don’t think I can afford to rent. My kids share the same thought. But an aunt of mine said we should transfer. I’m lacking the courage to do so now that I’m not so good. But if I suddenly leave this world, I would want that my kids would be in a place free of their father’s traces, as they too share the sentiment of leaving everything behind. Should we stay and be free from rent burdens or just stay. By the way, our place is three to four hours commute—one way to Makati where my daughter works and two (2) hours to my son’s school. This might seem petty but believe me, even this petty problem I can’t seem to decide on anymore. Thank you. More power. God bless.

  Hi Ms. R!

  Tell you what, one thing I’ve realized last week, as in, na-realize ko when Star City was gutted by fire at nadamay ang studios namin, I realized that our lives can change in the blink of an eye. Well, I am not different from all of you. I too have my own challenges, at home, at work, with myself. And I believe that I am able to cope because when things are starting to eat me up and I get scared…. I pray. And I just tell God, that I am nothing apart from Him and that I can never really handle things alone. There are things I don’t understand, things that scares the living daylights out of me kapag iniisip ko. I’m a chronic worrier you know. But when I start to pray, I am reminded to put everything in God’s hands. I understand you worry too much. You’ve worried enough, this is the best time you increase your faith. Talk to God as if He is just beside you. Sa lahat ng oras at lahat ng bagay sa buhay mo. Ask Him to decide for you on the things you can’t decide on. It’s as simple as that yet we make things so complicated by overthinking about everything. Your kids are all grown. At least, hindi na sila maliliit na bata. Magtulungan kayo. And just as you help each other, pray together. There is nothing God won’t be able to handle. God bless.
