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

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.

Palindrome

Bakit ka ba fearful? A palindrome is s omething that when you put it backwards will give you the same result. The longest palindrome word in existence is  tattarrattat according to google which is  a chemical term meaning to remove tartrates. Been drafting this since last week but the original draft was years ago. I never got the chance to finish  it. And I pray that tonight, I get to finish what I started. I am past way my bed time or actually no, because I have been watching the world cup up until 3am last night and 5am the other night. Lakas. In english, strong 😂✌🏽💪🏽. Please excuse me for my being informal with my emojis.  On a serious note, I really do not know where tonight’s blog is going to end up. I would at times just think of something to write about when I am not ready to write and now that I am in front of my phone typing, I have nothing to say. What a life. I just thought tonight while watching the basketball brawl in FIBA World Cup Qua...

Short

In a short span of time that I got to know Tita has really impacted my life. I shall try to share specific things here so that I get to record how she has encouraged me. The only picture we got together.  I shall start with why the title is short. We were going to minister to a place where our mission trip team went a month prior my mom and I’s visit. We were walking and she made ayos my shorts after it was creased.  That was I think the first time I knew she cared.   I am usually jittery when meeting the mom of the man that I like. But with her, she made me feel comfortable. Pero at first, natakot din ako kasi I know na di ako umaarte like kung sino talaga ako, yun ang ipapakita ko. I don’t set my best foot forward because I know eventually, she would know me and she would know who I really am. I am very takot not to be accepted. Lalo na that is my fear— to not be liked by my future mother-in-law if the Lord wills. But on our vacation time, we got the news that she ...
