No Reservations

Hello blog! HAHAHA. You don't start a blog like this, right? Haha.

I am really disappointed with how I am not getting better at anything. How I feel like I started from the top and now I am here. HAHAHA instead of started from the bottom now we're here. I found an article of mine about Christ-confidence last 2013. Linking it because this was a Planetshakers inspired blog because of their song I Just Want You and I just recently went to their Manila tour. And man, I wanted to go back on the right track.

You see, there are things in my life that I wanted to just control. I wanted to do certain things for me to be said to fit in. I like to do those things but I make it exaggerated. And so, I tend to forget other things because I am so focused on trying to do my best to fit in and end up losing because at the end of the day, the last say is God's.

I do not know how this blog will end. I am sorry that I don't do my outline as a good writer should. But you know, I am just pouring my heart out.

There are times that I want to quit what I do for the Lord comparing myself to others. Sometimes, I just want to disappear and just get myself together again but I do not want to do any other thing but to be with Jesus. Ayoko mag-movie. I want God's love to pour in to me again. I want to know Him deeper to the point that I would never be insecure to the point na okay lang ako na kaming dalawa na lang forever. Yung tipong wala kang gugustuhin kundi mapasaya ang Panginoon. That I would not love this world, the status and what others would tell of me. That I would be so content in Him and always be reminded of how small I am yet I am loved by Christ fully and I am safe in His arms.

I surrender. I think I will end this blog with this statement. How many times will I say this and how many times will I hear this in any and every message? Christian living is really about surrendering to Jesus Christ because He knows what is best. And my heart is deceitful so I would just pagkatiwala my heart to the One who can take care of it fully. To the One who would not break it. Lord, just keep my heart in your hands. Do not make it fall for anybody whom you do not want. Yun pala yun. Love life.

The more I know Him, the more I can trust Him. I will not reserve anything for myself to You because You deserve everything in me, kulang pa nga. <3


Lord God, please comfort the people who are reading this blog. Help us overcome our unbelief and help us trust You because You are Holy and You are Good. You are all I need. You are all I want.

In His Pursuit,
Michelle

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...

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 ...

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...
