Who's driving you crazy?

A city on a hill that can't be hidden because of its light.
The how-we-should-live.
We arrived to a nearby province up north of the Philippines by 3:30 in the morning. What about that? Waking up from your shallow sleep in a lazy boy and not knowing that we're there already. I did not know that the bus flew. Haha.

The city from top of the tops.
Chocolate of the top instead of cream of the top. Haha.
While on the road, I can't catch my sleep though I am in dire need of a rest from a week's work, and the anxy knowing that I have to leave for Baguio just eight hours before the scheduled departure from Manila.

I can't sleep because I don't trust the bus driver. Haha. Despite the reminder posted above in filipino, "Ako ay isang maingat na driver.".  In englsih, "I drive safely.".

I look at the windshield since we're on the first row, after a quick folding of the eyes. Though my mom advised me to take a nap, I guess she's telling me to have a real nap. But that didn't happen. I think because I encounter news every so often that falls of a cliff or bangs into a wall going up this region. In short, bad memories.

A cafe near the bus station.
I just included this though it didn't made sense why I did,
it's a note wall with a cafe on it. Hahaha!
I then thought of my relationship with the Lord.If I don't know Him, I won't trust Him. If I don't know of His track record in my life, I won't entrust my life to Him. The secret is. Knowing Him and Walking with Him. But that's not easy. It takes all of us. Anyway, He gave everything for us, didn't He?

Sunset before we go.
Praise God for His creations! Someone in awe over here!
Intimacy with Him. Remember His goodness and faithfulness to you and you'll learn how to trust Him. As how Abraham trusted God as he surrendered Isaac. Because though he sinned in the prior chapters before he learned to trust God, He now knew that God is faithful to provide a sacrifice. Moment by moment listening to God's still small voice and obedience.

It's hard because you have your preference but be still and we should know that He is God and He cared for us. Even the number of our hairs He knows, how much more our desires?

We arrived 3:30am at Baguio City with the coolest air I've ever felt in my entire life, prolly. With no sleep and that kind of weather? Perfect combination for flu. But praise God He strengthened me and I didn't get any cold.


Can you trust God to drive your life to the best that He wants? Absolutely.





In His Pursuit,
Michelle M. Aquino <3

P.S. I missed writing here. This was in the draft. May 2014. Hihi.

2021 Here We Are

I can compare my year with the Philippine Stock Exchange Index 2020. And I reallyjust want to get those candles up by being intimate with my relationship with Jesus.  I actually do not know if it is just me or I really matured this year. FINALLY MY PREFRONTAL CORTEX GOT DEVELOPED. Financially supporting my family even though they did not ask for it, managing the household while working online and battling my own life. I have actually shared some of those things in this blog this year. And as we fold the last day of this year, I just want to say that I am thankful to my King Jesus. If it haven’t been by Your grace, I do not know where I would be.  Salute to You, My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2021 is Yours. I am all Yours.  Michelle Aquino Because I do not know what photo to share, would love to share this letter from my mom in our summit 2019.

Consistency

  This would be how I would look like if asked what I would say to my younger self. Adding, I hope you obey God’s no consistently because it won’t get any easy as you get older.  Sometimes, because we know that God is Gracious, we would already spend our lives in the way we want it to go knowing that God forgives and He rescues. But as what we have been repeating in this blog, we cannot escape the unnecessary pains that we could have missed if we just chose to yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Consistency in your love for Jesus is difficult. A one-time high or a seasonal-high in basketball won’t give you the championship. It will just win you games but the goal is to not just win games, the goal is your whole self experiencing Christ and being transformed into His image.  I learned about myself that whenever I feel like I’ve had enough of God for the day, I would stop being in His presence and will just do my thing. I make Him a to-do list that after talking to Him for ...

Bitter or Better

Practice doesn’t make perfect… in relationships. I think every single person who has fallen to the trap of satan (I intended not to make it capital letter) that we have to try things to know what we can improve on in the future, which gives away part of us in waste in the process. All the people who have fallen to the trap would say “uhhh how I wish I could go back in that time and yell at my younger self and say, stop it, Michelle Aquino, just stop.” When we aren’t convinced of God’s goodness, we will not follow His design. When we don’t trust God’s goodness, we won’t listen to His instructions. When we doubt that all He wants for us is the best, we will not obey Him and thus suffer unnecessary pains. We are free to choose, but we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. In lawn tennis, volleyball or any other sport that gives the opponent the score when we make a mistake, they would always say, go for the next point. When we sin, humble ourselves, admit that we’ve sinned,...
