Those Eyes

Trying times yet again, she mumbled.

She knows it too well that she should rejoice because she's being tested like no other. Sleepless nights (or mornings), countless journal entries, non stop crying and unceasingly praying. These are all part of her usual trying times. Incidentally, this is also the time when she is alone. The journey, she realized, is not that easy compared to those she has encountered before.

As she tackles every drama thrown on her, she knows some hands hold her up but these hands can only do so for awhile. For some reason, they never really stayed for good. Time and time again, she ended up having to face all these alone.

She looked at her self in the mirror and she saw nobody else but her. The same old sad eyes about to wither but she can sense some hope in those eyes too. That soul is still hopeful yet almost drained.

She's been reading back and again the book of Corinthians - "when I am weak, I am strong." The words used in NIV was a resounding jolt that He is with the weak. That His strength is obvious with those who call upon His name and seek His righteousness.

She may be down and out now but in time, she will emerge to be the person she's meant to be.

Just wait.

One day, you will be proud.
