"Wake me up, when September ends."
I was awoke....
The rain waters have not yet subsided, and there are still paces which are continuously suffering from human-deep flood, they don't know when will it subside, when will it be gone. And yet another one comes in, in fact Quiel has already entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and will in fact, expected to cause damages again and again.
My country, the Philippines, constantly visited by 20 or so storms every year, is still struggling from the past week's experience, horrible experience. Struggling to solve the problems, with billions of pesos worth of damaged crops and infrastructures, and lives, my country, devastated though, still wakes up each morning and manage to smile and hope for a better tomorrow. Natural calamities, like storms and earthquakes, are normal occurrences and my people are used to experience them, but suddenly, Pedring came, and like Ondoy and Peping a couple of years ago, we were surprised by the deathly effect.
Houses were submerged, the rivers swollen, the dams released waters, lives were lost, infrastructures destroyed, crops damaged.
When will all these end? I even don't know the answer. Is it a nature's wrath? I don't know the answer.
What I know is that prayers will help us. In the midst of all these, God is our refuge and our strength. He will never let His good people down.
PRAY
