go where you are most moved to love

i was browsing my 2005 posts awhile ago for no particular reason and stumbled on the quote "go where you are most moved to love." i searched for it in google, because until now i can't remember where i got the quote. it's probably from college, but i wanted to know who the author is.

i was surprised and amused to find that the top result for the quote.... was written by me! hahaha.. such a laughable treat! nope, it wasn't my 2005 post here - my blog didn't even show up in the results (due to its inactive state?). it's actually my comment on a friend's controversial blog entry entitled Should I Stay or Should I Go:

just a few points:
we are all unique. what works for some (e.g. living simply, living abroad, putting a religious spin on everything) will not necessarily work for others. let’s respect one another’s individuality and review what we post to make sure we’re not (or we don’t seem to be) passing quick and uncalled-for judgments.

to address the blog entry:
all we can do is try our best. and of course, this is not enough. but if we know that we already did our part (the discerning, the planning, the preparing), then we can just let go of the worries and let God take care of the rest (the challenges, the opportunities to serve Him, the things we need to iron out, etc). kerol i believe you’ve done your job on this already. feel what’s in the heart. if you feel the need to experience something different, then go. if there’s a sense of something that needs to be taken care of in the Philippines, then stay. just make a choice and present it to Him. go where you are most moved to love. ;)

some excess thoughts…
we have to recognize our strengths and weaknesses, and live life maximizing our strengths and talents. then if things still don’t work, just continue moving on. keep the faith that it’s better to have gone out to try the unknown than to be stuck in the comfort zone. and believe that there’s a good reason for whatever turns out in the end. =)

dinibdib ko na, kasi as you know, i also have a similar question in my mind right now..

funny how you search for something, and discover an entirely different thing in the process.. ;)
