Lost In Space

By: Gay Erebias


I still stumble and fall, but at least now, I know where to run.


Back when I was younger, little and an innocent child, I already have this imagination nga naglutaw ko sa kawanangan every time ginaisip nako nga wala na ang kalibutan,like “Aha na lang man ko? Aha man ko dapat muadto kung wala na ang tanan?” Kana gyud sya na thought nga dili nako gusto mahunahunaan, kay guol ug sakit kaayo siya pamalandungan.


So, fast forward pag-abot na nako ug highschool and senior high years, I did things nga dili makapalipay sa Ginoo, in order to divert my attention from thinking about asa man gyud ko maadto.


It felt like the worldly things were my only escape and I let the idea of “you only live once” and “go with the flow” corrupt my mind.


Na apply nako siya sa mali na pamaagi and it caused me to avoid things nga dili nako gusto mahibal-an. Nagpaka-buta ang nagpaka-bungol ko sauna.


Pag-abot ug college, I met people from y2dn, and lifegroup was introduced to me. I had my first personal encounter with God. It is more than just knowing a new religion. It is about having a relationship with the Lord, the Lover of my soul. God really paved the way for me. He heard my prayer pag abot nakog Davao City nga “Lord gusto ko magpa-duol sa imuha”. I didn’t even utter those words from my mouth. That was just my heart's desire. I longed for an answer to who I really am. What is my purpose in this world?


I would say na dili nako kaya kung ako ra. Siya gyud nag sustain sa tanang aspeto sa akong kinabuhi, sa pag-eskwela, sa pamilya, sa pag deal og mga tao and sa pag deal sa akong emotions.


I am far from being a perfect Christian. No one is perfect, but with God, we can walk on the path to perfection. Yes, we all make mistakes, and God loves imperfect people (Romans 5:8). He came for us, sinners, and His love for us weighs more than our flaws. That’s why every day I am holding God’s hand, and He made me appreciate life more nga mura ko ug ga-practice og langoy nga sa kadaghan man ug balud ang importante kuyog ug gigunitan ko sa Ginoo.
I hope and pray that in every situation, you will find fortress in God’s presence, kay sa iyaha ra gyud nato mabati ang tinud-anay nga gugma ug sa dihang mag sugod nata sa atong pakig-relasyon sa iyaha, diha sad nato mahibal-an ang atong identity.

Sa akong paglakaw kauban ang Ginoo, nahibal-an nako akong purpose. Sa akong pakig-relasyon sa Iyaha, nabati nako ang Iyang dakong gugma. Daghan og gina ingon ang kalibutan kung kinsa gyud ko (kasagaran mga bakak), pero I prefer to listen to God kay Siya man nag buhat sa akoa. I am His child and I can always run to my Father anytime.
