When Jesus Say Yes Nobody Can't Say No

I was really puzzled what to write about our c'ship! It was God who allowed us to be here and all I can say is praise Him! Yes, there were factors why they won but how can you reconcile the will of God versus the skill of the basketball gods?

I can still remember the time while I was sitting in a bench at our school just this basketball season which is the first term of this school year, I glared at our trophy keeping and I just prayed about us getting the championship this year. At the time, you can't really say that we'll win, I promise you! No one will bet on us even the Nationalians won't say we'll win this year's title. We just lost our superstar this year. Who'll carry us through? And I remembered an incident where I told my La Salle and UST friends that this season is ours. Not boasting but sort of yes haha, I don't know why I put my faith in what God impressed on my heart to pray for. When you believe and not doubt, you'll receive what you ask from God if it pleases Him and if it's His will. So, know His will. If we are His, we'll know His leading because the sheep knows the voice of his Shepherd.

To be honest, I don't believe we had the best line-up in UAAP (University Athletics Association of the Philippines) and until now that we have the best college hoops in the Philippines, I believe it is Jesus who brought us here. You can stop reading if you don't believe God exists. (((:

I'll go a bit far from where I was discussing. This is a bit personal and I trust you guys reading this blog that I'm accountable to the Lord and to a set of girls plus the whole world. HAHA. It's hard not to listen to the world, not to listen to satan and his lies. Why? Because most of the time, they're sugarcoated and you really have to take that tough decision to take the 100% truth and not the 90% truth and 10% lie.

I trust God about the future and I don't have to manipulate it. Should we end up together, it would be a miss to not have spent my first finals experience with him but I believe we should preserve those good times in God's time and way and not me initiating it or planning it. Whoever you are, I really would love to see concerts, movies, basketball, volleyball games with you and I'm sorry that I wasn't able to bring you earlier. Don't worry, I didn't get the rookie jitters in our game earlier. I've resolved with the Lord to be joyful whatever the result may be. God is good whether we win or lose. I'm not saying this because we won today but we didn't get the title for sixty years and I know the feeling of losing. If ever you're not the man, it's all the more that I should've not brought you with me. As Paul said in his letter to Timothy, he believes God will keep what he entrusted to Him until that day. That we have to finish the race God has set before us and those are our priorities. My shoutout to You!

As I wait, I won't listen to satan, prepare myself, grow in the Lord, pray, surrender, trust, obey and do His work. Until that day that He'll get me from where I am now and be joined to His will.

Thanks to all those who prayed with us to bag the c'ship! All glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ! <3


From Michelle with Love.

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 ...

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 ...
