A PATH OF FAITH

A pastor once said that living a life full of faith is not about living a life without troubles. In, fact a life of faith is a life of overcoming troubles. There will be many occasions in our life when our faith in and love for God will be tested. We may face devastating experiences or daily struggles that would change our belief in Him. Most often, these tests do not come only once in our lifetime. At times, they may become so numerous that we would be tempted to question why God would want us to suffer so much when He tells us that He loves us.

During these times, it is good to remind ourselves that God allows us to experience trials and sufferings to increase our faith and build up our perseverance, that we may become mature and complete individuals. As His followers, we are called to endure and overcome whatever comes into our path. The tests of faith are all part of God’s process of shaping and molding us into what He wants us to become - His soldiers. It is up to us to continue on the path God has laid out for us.

“What did I say about letting the chips fall where they may?”

The Casino scene was the most amazing way to end and bring Chair back to us. First Blair shows up as gorgeous as she never looked in the whole season, showing that Blair Wadorf is back, the confident, powerful, strong BW we used to know. Being sure of what she wants and how to get it. Being more sure than she’s ever been of the choice she made. As Chuck sees her, he doesn’t know what’s going on, what’s happening and how did that even happen. He is so clueless that looks so cute. Then B says “Thanks for the call” to Jack and C gets surprised by that and we fall for Jack again for being a hard Chair shipper. Then B says to C “You fought for me all year, I’ve come to fight for you” and “You said I always bet against you but this time I’m all in” and it’s the most amazing thing she could say to him. No need for the 3 words 8 letters again, she said it all just with that. And finally Chuck’s face. His expression so clueless, surprised, he didn’t say a single word in this scene and he did’t have to, just to see his face, amazed, confused by the fact that Blair, the love of his life, showed up in Paris and said those things to him, is the most sweet thing in the world. He’s never been this surprised before, and he doesn´t know what’s happening, what to do or say, he just stayed there, looking at Blair with the most sweet face he could ever made, and her looking at him, so secure of her choice. She has come to fight for him and this is what we have been waiting for, and may have not been a kiss or words coming from him, but it was worth it, so worth it. Her lines and his face was the best thing they could ever give to us after a year of waiting.

Pet names are a persistent remnant of childhood, a reminder that life is not always so serious, so formal, so complicated. They are a reminder, too, that one is not all things to all people.

She has the gift of accepting her life, he realizes that she has never wished she were anyone other than herself, raised in any other place, in any other way.

Remember that you and I made this journey, that we went together to a place where there was nowhere left to go.

Finally done with “The Namesake” by Jhumpa Lahiri.  “That’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”

Truth is nothing. What you believe to be true, is everything.

Bad love letters beg for love back. Good love letters ask for nothing.

“If I had one wish, it would be that your life brings you a taste of happiness you have brought to me. That you can feel what it’s like to love.” Just watched “Waiting for Forever”.
