Devastated-a single word that could define the situation we are in right now. Metro Manila almost brushed out from the Philippine map because of Ondoy. People from different walks of life were all affected. Different stories of survival and heroism are heard. It's really heart-breaking to hear those sob stories. I admit, it really makes me cry hearing them again and again. But every person has their own way of coping with what had happened. some just laugh at them as a defense mechanism, others become apathetic because of trauma. But for me the most inappropriate attitude is to lose hope. Yes we can't blame them to do so but there is also we can do to keep their faith.
Hope is always there. You just have to believe and reach out for it. Never stop believing that everything's going to be fine in God's own time. Just keep the faith. I know it's easy for me to say these things because I'm not one of the victims. But mind you, I'm also in a situation right now where I was about to lose hope. It's the same thing but only in different package. But then, I realized, we are all lucky enough because we did not lose our own lives compare to those who did. We are still breathing and we are waking up everyday and seeing the sun shines that i know symbolizes a new day to live. Let's be all thankful for that!
I heard someone said, "Whatever is taken away from you, it will be given back to you, in two folds." Very true! God took away those things for a reason. We may never know his reason for now but someday, somehow it will be revealed. And i know when that days comes, we will all smile and say that, "God is so, so good! God will never give us problems we can't handle. He knows that we are strong enough to face these challenges. Remember that, "Worrying is a sin". Believe in the power of prayers and have faith in Him. Just follow Him and He will take the lead. Hope will come SOOn, very very SOON!

And I think the best definition of HOPE is this:
