In a dream, GOD told me, that I could pick up
any man I like from His field. BUT I have to
choose only one. Once na nakapili na ako, I
have to raise my hand as a signal that I finally
found him, then go back to GOD for praise. But
NO!!! May isa pang kondisyon -- I could never
turn back. Once nalampasan ko, I should move
on. So sabi ko, GOD surely won't give me rotten
crops of men. I have been a good daughter and I
deserve to be with a good man. I was confident
I'll get the best pick.
So my journey began. As I went through the
field, nakita ko ang iba't ibang klase ng
lalake. Some were tempting me to pick them up.
And some were indeed tempting to pick up. Pero
sabi ko, baka may mas gwapo, mas mabait, mas
matalino, mas masipag, mas mahal ako sa dulo ng
field na ito. So I let go. Once. Twice.
Thrice. I believed fervently that in the end of
the field is my prince, waiting for me with open
arms.
Then I saw a man. He looked at me straight in
the eye and blew a kiss . Our gazes met and I
don't know why, pero there was something in him
that I longed for. I felt as if something was
drawing me to him. Pero di pwede. I have to
make it to the end of the field. Baka sabihin
ni God, atat ako chaka wala akong patience.
Naisip ko If habang lumalayo ako, nakakakita ako
ng ganitong klase ng lalake, baka as I move
further eh may mas hihigit pa sa kanya.
Until, I reached the end of the field. And wala
akong nakita!!!
GOD asked me, "Di ba napakakulit mo, araw-araw
na ginawa ng Diyos...ay, ako pala yun... eh
nagdadasal ka na magkaroon ng perfect partner in
life, bakit ngayon wala kang dala. My crops are
all fresh and good. There is nothing there not
ready and good for picking."
I answered, "I thought I would see someone at
the end of the field . Eh dyuskupo, wala na
pala . I thought that each step I took brought
me closer to perfection when in fact, each step
brought me closer to nothingness. I remembered
that man who was looking at me. I know he's the
one but I let him go, believing na there's
someone better at the end of the field. Oh,
darn it!"
God said, "I'm sorry my child, but I have given
you enough time to choose. You should face
reality and its consequences."
With my head bowed down I said, "I'm sorry I
wasn't brave enough to raise my hand in the
middle of the field and commit myself to
someone. I was not ready to face the challenges
of life with someone I thought was of lesser
value than me...I'm sorry."
Nagising akong umiiyak, saying sorry to GOD and
feeling sorry for my self and my life. Then I
realized that GOD is giving me another chance to
choose but not in His field but in the field of
uncertainty. Now, I'm thinking about that man
in the field, the man I felt was for me,
wondering what might have been if I raised my
hand the moment I saw him.
Then it hit me. What is the meaning of all my
hardship to be successful and wealthy? I may
become the most powerful and successful person
on earth but if I don't have that someone whom
i will share my love and happiness with, then it
will not be worth anything.
Para sa ating lahat 'to. Think about it. We
are not getting any younger. Explore GOD's
field. I'm sure nanjan lang sha sa tabi-tabi.
Maaring in the beginning, in the middle or in
the end. It's for you to find out. But most
importantly, it's for you to choose. It's a
part of the whole concept of love. It's a risk
you have to take, a decision you have to make.
And once you have decided on it, there's no
turning back. Bear in mind that with this comes
the courage to raise your hand and declare that
you've found your match, whether you're at the
beginning, in the middle or at the end of your
journey. Or else, you'll regret it.
