Life without evaluation will be shallow
I
start my reflection with this sentence life without evaluation will be shallow,
that is true. To see what I have done in the past, how I live my life and grow in a certain aspects are the means to grow better as a person neither for
religious or lay people. As a religious sister I consider these aspects so
important, since I am staying in the community where diversity is. Thank you
also for the concern to have this evaluation though in a short time yet
generally I am able to share what are the things I need to improve more, what
are the growth that I gained regarding human growth, following Christ and
challenges that I confront in daily live. Honestly to live in the community is
not easy just like turning my palm as I want yet at the same time that is a
home where I can learn so many things, where I come to know so many things regarding
my attitudes, others culture, knowledge through sharing, where I can nurture
oneself regarding talents, my capacity in doing something new for me especially
where I can nurture my spiritual life. There is joy, sadness, pains, happiness
that sometimes I don’t understand why I have to experience. The Lord is very
kind, He never leave those who called upon Him and that is my experience many
times especially when I fell that nobody is beside me, that is the time I
depend more myself to Him, that I stand together with Him, I am never alone.
There are so many things I need to see more as the essential of this life,
though sometimes my eyes so blur only the shadow that I could see but putting
the trust always at His hand, hoping that everything will be done in the right
time as He wills for each one. Special thanks to Sr Anas, for your availability
in listening to all of us, and encouraging words to move on, yet the actor is
all of us to do so, we are responsible for ourselves. May God bless all our
good intentions a long this year, this small things is just beginning for all
of us in order to have the bigger one. Congratulations for all the juniors.
Viva Claretianas.
With warm greetings
