Back in His Loving Arms Again
by Mary Agnes Marasigan
I was then a graduate of the CLS, regularly attending the Action Group (AG) and is a member of the Social Action Team when I encountered a special event in my life. My life was okey, I am happy, busy and contented until I acquired an infection that made me absent in school for two weeks. I was confined and I thought that I was going to die. I was so frightened that my sickness would lead to a horrible one. Thank God it didn't. This isn't the story yet, intro ko pa lang ito.
On my first day back to school from the hospital, the atmosphere inside our classroom was not the same anymore. I just don't know why. When I met my professors, they told me that I have to exert extra effort for me to maintain my grades. I decided to devote 100% of my time to my studies. I wasn't able to attend the AG regularly and I wasn't able to join in the outreaches of the Social Action. I also forgot to give time for Him. At that time, I am confident that I can do it all by myself, no need of parents, friends, prayers and God.
I was able to do all my home works and I passed all my exams. I was happy to get what I wanted for myself. But in the middle of this happiness that I am enjoying, I found myself longing for something. I do not know what it was. I searched for someone who could offer me love and someone I can share my happiness with.
I thought I found that someone and that I had fun when I'm with him but deep inside of me, I felt alone. I do feel I have loved the man so much but still, I don't understand this feeling that confuses me and made me feel guilty. I attended our AG again in search for answers. I don't know it it's just coincidence or if God really answered me because the topic of the AG led to stories about early relationships and priorities. I analyzed those things as soon as I got home. I decided to stick with him because I wasn't totally affected but then I felt God wanted to tell me it isn't my time yet. When I got my class cards, I just can't believe what I saw. My grades are super low and I can't accept it. Because of this, I decided to end my relationship with him.
From then on, I realized that I need my family, my friends, and especially God. As of now, I plan to continue serving Him and to continue searching for Him and His plans for me. And now, with the help of my brothers and sisters in CYA, I'm back lying in His loving arms again.
To you, Lord, I entrust myself.
