Chalk the bar

I love this photo even though I fell asleep. Haha.
Why am I always sleeping this past few days in pictures? Haha.

Where is God leading you? Listen to God's leading.
Success is being excellent where God has placed you.

One Gospel 2014.



"Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will listen to the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we listen to the voice of the LORD our God." Jeremiah 42:6

God's blessing does not depend on the place. As long as we are under God's will. Jeremiah has never been a book I would excitedly read because he is the weeping prophet and I feel like (especially the first part) it's all about consequences and wrath of God because of God handing over the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Babylonians. But, God reminded me here that He is the Most High. He is in control. We don't have to make our own way for salvation from the situation we are in. Just like in Jeremiah 42, all the commanders of the forces asked Jeremiah if they can go to Egypt. They are informed from the beginning that God would restore their lands again but still they wanted to ask God through Jeremiah and they promised to listen whether it pleases what they want or it doesn't.

God told them in verse 11 not to be afraid. But still, despite the promises of God's mercy, compassion, deliverance, restoration, they chose not to obey. They went their way. Broken promised by the people.

God knew that they would fail Him yet, His promise remained to those who obeyed. To those who trusted God's promises though it wasn't seen at the moment.

The chapter ended in consequences of their disobedience.

Even though God's commandments doesn't make sense (in the world's view), continue chalking the bar. Practice walking with Him.

Even though you've messed up, stand up and do it all over again (not the sin). Chalk the bar.


From Michelle with love. <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...

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 yo...
