Resurrection

What timing could be more apt than today to "resurrect" my blog. Today is Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus.

I have been in hiatus for a little over a year. When I look back and analyze why I haven't checked in, I realized that I wasn't that busy that I didn't have the time. Maybe writing crossed my mind for a few times, but there wasn't really any compelling reason for me to scribble on something. Or maybe just have the energy to think of something to write about. So you are probably wondering what could be my compelling reason today to finally deciding to write a new post here. Quite honestly? Boredom! hahaha

As I ran through my rants, I am enlightened by a very timely and nice insight. As I have mentioned before, today is the resurrection of Jesus and I am "resurrecting" my blog as well. But the more significant point to this coincidence is its meaning. In my quick check to an online dictionary says resurrection is Jesus Christ's rising from the dead. Right. I have mentioned this already. Going back, its [resurrection's] implication is far greater than any lay person can connote it to. For me, I'd like to attribute it to another beginning and clean slate.  

Another Beginning

They say that life is like a book. When you open it, you will find different chapters. So I say resurrection is another beginning of a new chapter. As I am about to begin a new chapter of my life, I humbly thank the Lord for always filling my chapters with great stories of opportunities and taking chances.

The only thing that I planned in my life is to become a lawyer. After I got that, I surrendered my future to God's will. Maybe that's why I felt like cruising through this journey. I don't get stuck in a mud pit nor was I blown away by a tornado. I have been taking a stroll in the park, so to speak. It felt like everything is laid down for me and all I have to do is to follow.

Of course, it wasn't that easy. I have a few times resisted on "what's supposed to be" because I was afraid to jump off a cliff. But God has been patient with me. He allowed me to think things over and to conquer my fears.

Just like this new chapter I'm about to write in. It took me over a year to finally heed His call. Lucky me, He didn't get tired of hovering the opportunity over me. Instead He prepared me to be ready for His next challenge. And when I finally succumb to it, it felt right and I am at peace.  

Clean Slate

The resurrection of Jesus is the greatest symbol of starting life in a clean slate. When He rose from the dead, He gave us hope that we can start over anytime. When things aren't in God's way anymore, we can always take a pause and hit the refresh button and start clean again.
