hey LOG,
you know things hasn't been too good for me. Its depressing nowadays and life is hanging by a thread.
Yet there are many things still to be done for the church and all and I am so grateful for those who have stepped up and those who have always been giving their all to the community. I am sorry if yall have seen the fire inside of me die a little, that is because I gave most of it away and now its just in the middle of growing it once more. It has been a great trial for me this Lent I must say and a cross so heavy to carry. Its finally Holy Week and I really hope I can rise in Christ again.
I was disappointed though, going for Stations week after week and seeing very little loggers there, but I see every other community there, together and worshipping God together. Think it has been a while since LOG went for a mass together - last time was Christmas. I ask myself, where is everyone? I go to church in the hope of having dinner with you guys after stations, but I end up just going off alone, walking to boundary road and take bus home.
Maybe we should think about where is LOG in our lives? There are people who have put in so much effort to keep the community going, and these people need the support of the other members as well. I think it isn't a place where we come every Sunday to try and receive something but it is where we give. Having said this, it is up to the person how much one wants to give and how much one expects to receive - the crux of human relationships.
I went for mass at IHM on sunday and I looked around. it dawned onto me that perhaps everyone I see deep down inside, there is hurt, loneliness or any other form of emotions that can overwhelm a person sometimes. It just calls out for people to reach out to them. Perhaps each one of us in LOG has something to share, and something we want to keep and something deep down that is hurting. we just need to reach out and share, and thats called community.
