Yessir!

When God says so, do so.

I am a stone-head. If you could have any other superlative for hard-headed, please tag it to me. I never wanted to yield. When some rules are implemented, I always want to go against it because I don't want to go with where people are. I always wanted to be in white when everybody are in black. No dictation.

God has told me to surrender "what-I-want-to-hold-back" back then. I tried to ignore the red flags and went head on. Consequences reaped. I don't want it to happen ever again.

So, how do you follow what God says? When we don't do what we know we should do is the greatest tragedy. What's the sense of spending time in God's word listening to Him when after listening we won't do what He says.

First, humble ourselves to God that we cannot do it on our own. Great news is that His grace is available and is perfect and sufficient for us.

Next, repent and break off from the bondages that you were in by rebuking the spirits you believed that weren't true.

Follow Jesus completely. Know His truth and spend more time with Him because He is the Truth so that when the lies of satan comes knocking, you will not fall into his lies. Don't entertain his lies by filtering what you input in your mind, eyes and ears.

Pray. Know that you're always in His presence. That even when I'll be with Jesus alone forever, I would rather choose it than be with my dream and know that God is grieving. Oplan: Make Him Smile

Say no to sin. Say Yes to Jesus! Moment by Moment Surrender.




In His Pursuit,
Michelle Aquino

Back to Basics

This is how I look like most of the week. On my screen talking to people—- virtually. This quarantine season has changed my life- a bunch. It brought me back to reality- doing the basics. I practiced my calligraphy drills, I learned how to piano, helped in the chores more than ever, bought meds and groceries for the family, got sick with the government (thankfully, didn’t get subpoenaed), helped our neighbors and driver, guards and juliets at work, shared the gospel to a bike  boy whom I rode for consecutively, read, did some arts, cleaned the house for n number of times, worked out AND CLUNG ON TO JESUS. This season taught me that I have no good thing apatrt from Christ. And that good thing is only Christ. And I would not know that if I don’t surrender to His Lordship and His will. I would have bad dreams night after night, but I have to fight it off in the morning and walk with Jesus again. It is a conscious effort to guard what I think of and fix my gaze on the author and...

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 ...

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...
