Insect Bite

It's been a while since I tried writing here. Been to a mission trip and now facing the reality of my vow to the Lord at the start of this year. Compared to last year, my character has been under refinery this past few months. I felt like I've arrived and so pride cost me and has put shame on my Savior and Lord. 

Early this year, I wanted to make my year clear from any idol and so vowed to the Lord to follow and love Him alone, literally, no other man. No adultery. 

Balance of everything.
I've been praying about this for two years now and I always get my Lord down because of me not standing my ground. When my heart broke late this year, I went to my knees and was reminded by what I told the Lord early this year. I broke His heart again. I don't want to hurt Him again and I know that I should die to myself and live for Him alone.

So, I resolved with the Lord to wait for him for another year, 2017 for Jesus. It hurts but if I trust Him that He will bring him on His time and way. 

Develop my self, learn and experience new things.
Be humble.
Develop new relationships and strengthen old friendships.
Enjoy singlehood before the sun sets and face a new day.
May I live for the Lord's vision for me alone. If that man doesn't wait for me to be complete in Him alone, I trust the Lord that He knows best. I surrender. 

Today, I got bitten by insects at home after praying. I have this pillow under our study table and would kneel in that pillow and pray but after I prayed, I got red hands and legs. I was so hurt but I know that my time with the Lord is better than the bites though it still hurts until now. 

Dear God, I pray that I would enjoy You more in my life and make the most out of my time of being single and all my life to You laser-focused. May I exemplify a life glorifying and pleasing to You my Lover and Friend. You are my Greatest and Only Reward. Lord, may I have You forever. I am Yours.

In Your Pursuit,

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...
