“UMAYOS KA!”


ni Mike Sanchez

Ibig sabihin nito, “Behave yourself!” Madalas itong sinasabi ng Nanay ko pag ngumangawa ako sa kaiiyak.

Sa English, “hold yourself together”. It means to be calm and regain control of your emotions and actions.

Minsan, ibig din sabihin nito,”ayusin mo itsura mo”.

Dahil hindi napagbigyan ang gusto ko, nagwawala ako, up to the point na nakakahiya na ang itsura ko.

Pang bata nga lang ba ang ugaling ito?

I can remember a painful moment in my life when God did not give what I was praying for, and it left me devastated. I didn’t kept myself together. I lost control of my actions. I rebelled against God.

I may have looked good in the outside- japorms, nice car. But on the inside, I’m a mess. Nakakahiya itsura ko.

God delivered those same words my mom said.

“𝑺𝒔𝒉𝒉𝒉. π‘²π’‚π’π’Žπ’‚ π’Œπ’‚ π’π’‚π’π’ˆ. 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒅 π’šπ’π’–π’“π’”π’†π’π’‡ π’•π’π’ˆπ’†π’•π’‰π’†π’“. 𝑴𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒍 π’Œπ’Šπ’•π’‚.”

God loved me during those moments that I look disgusting.

This same love is the reason why I learned to love myself. If God was able to love me this way, there must really be something loveable in me.

Is your life in a mess, right now?

Hindi mo maayos 100% ang sarili mo nang mag-isa. Di rin kaya yan ng mga self-help books, o kahit na mga TED Talks.

You can’t keep yourself together.

You need Jesus to hold you together. β€œπ‘―π’† π’Šπ’” 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆπ’”, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 π’Šπ’ π’‰π’Šπ’Ž 𝒂𝒍𝒍 π’•π’‰π’Šπ’π’ˆπ’” 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅 π’•π’π’ˆπ’†π’•π’‰π’†π’“.” – π‘ͺπ’π’π’π’”π’”π’Šπ’‚π’π’” 1:17
