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.

Freedom

Grace. I don’t deserve it. This covid pandemic has somewhat hardened my heart. It has shown my worst. And I believe that this is what really is inside me which haven’t surfaced until now. My flaws were magnified and it has sounded an alarm that I need to work on myself. That because of the too many work that needs attention, I had set myself aside. Whil reading a book on emotionally healthy spirituality, it has shown me that I am no superwoman. That I cannot change the world. That I can only do so much. And God is after my being with Him more than doing things for Him. So that is what I am planning to do as this year closes. But before that, I would love to go back to what happened last July why I started this blog with one word. Birthdays have never been a big deal for me. I enjoy having my birthday with no one knowing about it except my family. Maybe because I didn’t want to expect. I grew up loving my birthdays because of my family. But, there came a point in our life where we strug...

Hacked But Not Crushed

I value privacy the most (who would not?), at least for my life since I met the LORD (but now that I’m writing this, I don’t think I can still stand to my first claimed statement). I don’t use my facebook and so someone used it. It was a Friday, around 5:30PM, while I was in our leader’s training and about to start our prayer time when my dgroup leader for the longest time called and told me the discouraging news that I was hacked on facebook. I quickly asked the place I was in if they have a wifi, but they don’t give it to customers. The thing with me is, I don’t have that free facebook thing because I’m preventing myself from scrolling through the pages on my free times and  I’m keeping myself away from unnecessary posting of events publicly, I chose not to. I praise the Lord for my disciple who has a facebook and so I logged in, deleted the not-pleasing-to-the-Lord post and changed my password. I felt so down. I felt like it was my fault. Is that what Jesus feels whenever I t...
