You Raise Me Up

Kids, this is a good song/prayer. :)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I am down and oh, my soul, so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

There is no life, no life without it's hunger

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly

But when you come and I am filled with wonder

Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

My Day

Hey Kids,

Let me share with you how my days go by.

I wake up around between 5:00am to 6:30am, depending on what time I slept or if Iya wakes up early.

I prepare for work from 6:30am to around 7:30am to 8:30am. This includes breakfast, taking a bath, getting dressed. But it could also include looking after your dad (giving his meds, preparing his breakfast, making coffee, etc) or either one of you (giving milk, playing around, etc).

After which, I go to work. I am currently finishing a trilogy novel that your dad bought for me so I read this on the bus. I know doing this is not good for my eyes, but it's the only time I got for this – apart from the bathroom ofcourse, but that's another story.

I get to work and send a message to your dad, saying I got here safe. Always let your dad know where you are, just so he doesn't worry, okay?

If I don't have meetings, while working on my laptop, I listen to a podcast. Right now, I'm following the Victory Church's University Belt Youth Group podcast. They are not Catholic, yes, but they help me understand the Bible. So as long as I am confident in my Catholic faith, I should be okay. (More on religion discussions when you grow up okay?)

If I get bored of the Christian podcast, I listen to music. Also, just last night, I downloaded a video podcast on learning Spanish. I can't watch while working so I just listen and catch glimpses if I need to understand the words. I listen to these two alternately with the Victory podcast, depending on my mood.

When all work is done, I travel home and listen to podcasts again. I realize I no longer have time to develop myself so I use the travel time to enrich myself. That, or I sleep on the way, because I sooo lack quality sleep nowadays.

When I get home, I finally have time to eat dinner and talk to dad and play with you. I no longer do work since this is the only time we have. We stay in until around 12mn or until 1:30 to 2:30am. And the cycle starts again.

My day is full, but I love that we still have time together. I wish to do better. Maybe when you get older, we can do more things together, right?

Love you, Kids.

If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!
