The Old Path... My Home

It's been almost 5 years since I really "got home". But how did I really got home?

I really didn't like it at first. It was way back 1997 when my brother asked me to take a peek to what he was watching (I guess that was in IBC 13). My first reaction was "AY, NAGMUMURA!!!" (in English, "Oh, he tells defamatory words!"). I didn't watch that program again.

1998, my husband was actually switching TV channels when he caught RJTV 29. I didn't know that he was watching that guy, and he was fond of listening to him. I watched TV w/ him, and from then I never sleep until I finish the program. My day is not complete, as if I really can't sleep w/o watching it.

For 2 years I've been a constant listener/viewer of that program. I even attended an exposition once with my sister-in-law (she invited me) in 1999. I really don't know what happened, but sometime in November 2000, we met my husband's bestfriend in a mall where he works, and he invited us to attend the indoctrination session. I agreed, but my husband didn't want to... he said he isn't ready yet. I attended the indoctrination sessions, I finished them, and decided that I want to go home... as in I really want to go back home. The big day finally arrived, unfortunately I had a freak accident... boiling water poured over 1/5 of my total Body Surface Area. It was actually after a month when I really got to get back home.

It has been almost 5 years now that I am home. Life has never been so good... but it has never been so easy. But still, I'm glad and very fortunate that I am with my REAL family, with a FATHER who guides us towards the right path, which is THE OLD PATH.

There has been my tribulations, but there has been my failures, too. My carnal weakness has brought me down. But with His mercy and help, here I am, still standing to the ground. He has been a sturdy wall where I can hold on to. And these things made me a better and stronger person.

This just proves that there is Someone up there more powerful and ever-knowing than I am, that I am a nobody, that I am not perfect either.

The Old Path... This is really the way towards home.

I never want to leave home anymore.
