Travelling is Healing: Lakewood, Zamboanga Del Sur

The Refreshing Breeze Healed My Broken Wings

I’m a person who’s fond of travelling from different kinds of places. It’s a way for me to relax and breathe non-contaminated air at least for a day or week. Travelling to Lakewood, Zamboanga Del Sur was not the usual FUN I expected on a trip but it was HEALING to staunch the wounds and fix these broken wings.

It was the moment and time of my life that I had to experience great downfall. I was so downcast that I could not stand on my feet and I had no desire to eat my meals. It was the moment where I locked myself in my room and could not managed to get a little peek of sunlight.

My family especially my aunts had arranged a surprise trip for me at Alindahaw, Lakewood, Zamboanga Del Sur. They came by my apartment and I was surprised that they needed me to come for the trip and it was for me to breathe after a whole lot of choking. I was not really ready for the trip but I wanted to get out and travel far from that prison, I went without any hesitation.

As we arrived at Alindahaw, I was amazed by the massive lake infront of us. The shapes of green mountains surrounded the whole lake and lively trees dancing with the wind. I felt ease inside me and my eyes was captured my the various forms of clouds that played on the blue sky.

I was in awe of the beauty that surrounded me. I was grateful of the trip my family gave that made me eradicate every inch of negativity and frustration in my innermost being. The birds sang their songs and made me sing along. The wind embraced me with its coolness and gentleness as if it knows how downcast I’ve been in days. The lake said its greeting with calmness and power that made this frown of mine turn into a sweet beautiful smile.

This trip reminded me of how sovereign my God is and despite the adversities I’ve been through He pulled me back int His loving arms and embraced me with the creations He made. T’was the day I came to a realization that my Father had purpose and He knew what was best for me. Things may happen in a way that I do not agree or I despise but the Lord made me realize that those No’s closed those doors that would lead me to destruction and calamity.

There I realize that despite of the doors He had to close, His promise for me even to us all in Jeremiah 29:11 will remain. My God knows what’s best for me and He had plans for me to prosper and not to harm me. He had plans for me in the future and hope to persevere for whatever goals and plans He has in-store for me. This is how travelling healed these broken wings.
