When you don't get what you think you deserve

Entitlement.

We always want to get the most out of our spending that's why we always say, be a wise shopper. That's why we want SALE because they cut down prices. That's why we prioritize the steak area in a buffet restaurant.

My flight was cancelled going back to Manila from a one hour and a half plane ride province. I bet it would since the airport has no light in its airstrip, I had the feeling that when it was delayed, I would accept the free accommodation they're offering. That would be fun!

I checked-in and asked me if I wanted to take the earlier flight but I opted not to since my friends are taking the last fly out plane, but in another airline. Wrong move.

I heard the announcement. Hurried in the ground personnel and as I plan to book my hotel, my friend told me to change airline since I'm meeting with my mom in the airport and they waited for me. So, I changed airline. Little knowing that the airline isn't that cozy unlike my original airline. Wrong decision. I never wanted to get to that aircraft ever again. I even unfollowed them on twitter. Hihi.

Lesson: Don't try to manipulate things for your own gain. It usually becomes worse.I won't even enjoy my stay in the hotel since I am the only one among my colleagues whose flight was cancelled. Just like going to heaven, I don't want to go there for the sake of its beauty but for the beauty of my Master.

I arrived in Manila around 7pm and saw my mom after five days of summit. It was worth it.

I wanted to email complaint to PAL but I chose to email them (because God rebuked me) with commendation for their service and ground personnel. We can choose to control our emotions. And where God will be most glorified, when people see Jesus in us. Choose to surrender.

This world will tell us otherwise but take heart, this world will fade.

In His Pusuit,

Michelle Aquino

Pray for me to continue walking with Him in Truth. Thanks! Send yours as well at michelleaquino13@gmail.com/ michellleaquino@gmail.com

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,...
