The Cycle of Emotion

 Today, I arrived in Ha Long a place so beautiful it feels almost unreal. The mountains are endless, the water sparkles with life, and the sky stretches beyond sight. Yet even in this paradise, my emotions still fluctuate. I remain uncertain of how I feel or how I’ll continue, but through prayer and faith, I know nothing is impossible.

Before anything else, a short prayer:

God, thank You for this day for the opportunity to experience what life has to offer in this beautiful place. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, one I wish everyone could see and feel. I began as a simple child with dreams that seemed impossible, but now I can say I’ve touched those dreams. I’ve explored the other side of the world, met beautiful souls, and seen Your creation in ways words can’t capture.

Still, Lord, my thoughts are scattered. My heart feels heavy, but my gratitude runs deep. Please protect my mother. Please protect my family. Please bless us financially so I may bring my mother here, closer to me. You’ve never failed to provide, even when I doubted. Thank You, Lord, for that.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Poem

As life shows, as life proves to one and all,

We see how easily one can fall.

Through prosperity and hope we share a common goal

To live life to the fullest, to keep our souls whole.

I come to You with faith and love,

To push with peace and not to shove.

The cycle of emotion can consume the soul,

Like pouring cereal into a bowl until it’s full.

I may not be confident in all I see,

But I promise my heart, my life, to Thee.

For through the storm and endless sea,

You’ve shown what love and grace can be.
