New Life, New Beginnings

So, it's been a long time.

Yes, it has really been a long time :-) I have just made four blog posts (including this one) in four years -- one in each year. I do not really know what prompted me to blog again. I guess, I've just really missed doing this. I have finally decided to get back to my computer and write again. Hopefully, this would not be the last time you would hear from me this year. 

With the decision to revive this old blog of mine is also the radical resolution to revamp this not only in look but also in content. For those of you who have followed this blog for the past eight years (if there's anyone following at all.. LOL!), you might have noticed the change in title. Fantasies and Realities -- as I have named it before -- no longer exists as you have known it. Though, you could still find some of its contents here. The contents of Fantasies and Realities was more on the things that I used to love, opinions and reflections of things that don't really matter in life but somehow mattered to me, random thoughts, inspirational messages, community issues, musings of an immature teenager/young adult, and even jokes. I couldn't help but be amused of the things that I used to write about. Most of those things were really useless (only very few made sense to me). This is the main reason why I decided to change the name -- because I want this blog to talk about things that do matter. So, I have named this new blog "SOJOURN". 

Why "Sojourn"?

Well, I have finally come to the realization that life here on earth is just temporary. It is not just short, it is fleeting. As fleeting as it is, our lives have a purpose. And I strongly believe that mine has too. So, I'm trying to make use and maximize my access to technology and some knowledge in order to make even a small impact to people whether I know them or not. I don't know if anybody would ever read my blog let alone stumble into it. But I do know this, I need to use whatever little talent I have and whatever resource that I have in order to obey the God that I serve. 

So, from now on, all the posts in this blog will aim at nothing but to glorify my Lord Jesus Christ. May all of you who happen to come across this blog would be able to read some of its contents and be touched by God in your heart. 

Enjoy reading!

Note: As of the moment, I have not made any new post except for this one. I am aiming to post something at least once a week, every Saturday perhaps. The blogs that are currently posted here were old ones written many years ago which I didn't delete just for the purpose of preserving whatever work I have done before. If you know of any blog that I have posted before which you could no longer find, be advised that I have already deleted it due to unknown authorship. Thanks :-)

A Letter to Elisha Joelle Samarah

My Dearest Elisha, I promised myself that I would write about this day since the very first time I saw your cute tiny face at the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital where I delivered you. I told myself that I would chronicle the events so you would understand how great God is in your life and how you have come to be a miracle in your father and I's lives. However, I cannot tell you everything now for the story of how you came to be is too long for you to understand at the moment and too difficult for me to explain in writing. But, I'm going to try nonetheless, soon, little by little, and hopefully, the chronicles would be complete when you are old enough to comprehend. For now, let me just remember the sweetest yet the most difficult day of my life.  Your father and I did not expect you to come at that point in our lives. I, especially, wanted to achieve a lot of things and did not even think about settling down anytime soon. When I found out that I was pre...

Romans 1 is Genesis 3 Explained

Hello again! This blog became dormant again and now it’s going to have a reboot. I know that the last time this blog had a reboot way back two years ago I promised to write more often. Sorry guys, I wasn’t able to follow through with this promise due to busyness and just simply the distractions of life. This time I’m not going to promise anymore but what I’m going to do for sure is to try to write more often. Though I know, the entries would only come if and only if I cannot fight the urge to write. So here you go, I’m writing again. For those who visited this blog for the very first time, let me tell you that this actually started back when I was still in college. Back then, it was a very personal space and the things that were shared here were very personal things. So, if you try to go through the archive, you might find some things that are quite immature and some thoughts that I may or may not necessarily believe right at this moment. This was the very reason why I decide...

Dead to Sin

I have a confession to make. I sin.  That's hardly a surprise actually. All of us sin. However, the degree upon which we feel the shame and the guilt of sin vary from one person to another. Others feel a guilt so terrible that they condemn themselves while others feel sorry for what they have done but are able to shrug it off at the next moment. Probably for the most of us, we don't even realize that we have sinned.  I have learned nonetheless that there are some sins that you can easily avoid while there are others that make you struggle so hard you almost always want to give up. The sins that can be seen externally most often are the ones that are easy to overcome. But the sins that lurk in your heart -- the ones that other people wouldn't even know that you have (and most often than not you don't even know you have) -- are the ones that would make you think twice about your character. Then, one day, a thing or a person or a circumstance, causes that sin hi...
