I didn’t know that depression could lead to bad eating habits until I experienced it in college. I was underweight, heartbroken, and depressed. I had broken up with my first love because I knew it was the right thing to do. It was too early for a serious relationship.

Sa larangan ng pag-ibig, dapat hindi puro puso ang pinapairal — dapat UTAK din.

I don’t believe in the saying “Follow your heart.” Guess what, the bible tells us that the heart is the most deceiptful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). It is desperately wicked. It is only concerned about how it feels. It doesn’t know the concept of what’s right or wrong. It doesn’t have eyes to see the distorted truth. Most of the time, it is selfish and only knows what feels good now. It doesn’t care about future consequences.

During my most heartbreaking days, I dealt with the pain in silence. The boy didn’t know how much I loved him. I prayed for God’s healing and restoration. Ten months later, I was back on my feet again — stronger, better, wiser.

Many years later, I looked back….and all I could remember was the boy’s name. Joey Albert was so right in her song when she said “I remember the boy, but I don’t remember the feeling anymore…” LOL.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. – Proverbs 3:5-7

Undoubtedly, God’s plans is way beyond our understanding! Good things happen to those who patiently wait. Let God lead our hearts and we will never go wrong.

I thank God every single day for blessing me with a husband that I prayed for. I am so glad I waited.
