Sua Escolha

First Week: Love God, Love Others
First week topic
Elevate UST students in a dramatization of the first topic of your call.

Your call! A São Paulo-native guest translated it to sua escolha, in our weekly bible study at UST we called Truth Thursday, even the name was our. In every moment, we decide. From who to marry to what to wear for the day. From complex to simple things. The question is will you make the right decision.




Are there areas in your life that don't show you love God? How can you love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength this week?

If we will have a recorder of your mind, will it show Jesus? If not, will you allow God to reign over everything in you?

Will you obey Him? That is how we love.
Second week about our security is in the Lord.
I've always thought of myself less, insecure and comparing to other people but the Lord made me know that I am His beloved child and so I am secure in His love and I don't have to compare myself with other people because it is not anymore up to me if others prosper. What is that with you, Michelle? The Lord reminded me to focus on Him and in my development and relationship with Him by loving others and considering others better than myself.

 
 Know how God sees you and act on it. Since God is gracious, extend that grace to others.
God's opinion is the only thing that matters.

Our hearts are deceitful above all else. If that isn't surrendered to the Lord's will, it will show itself despite of your efforts to conceal it. The Holy Spirit is the One who can help us please the Lord in our actions, words and thoughts.

Third week: Purity and Marriage
In Purity, there is joy.
In His arms is pleasure forever.
His Word will remain.
And so, be the best for God's best-- Jesus. Use our time, talents and treasure for Him. To please Him for eternity and that is, as for me and our home, our lasting pursuit.

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 per

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 got sick. This has

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
