Weekend

I am still bothered about how I felt last Saturday about leaving my family going to Baguio with friends. Reality dawned on me that I was leaving my family for a time. How much more if I leave my family to be joined to my future husband. I am learning since the beginning of time to be secure in God and to live for Him alone. But I always go back to it. I feel like I am going back to my old self that I wanted attention and affection from people. Which only Christ satisfies.

I've always dreamt of having a nice love story written by God and yet there are times that I want to do it myself. Balancing God's work and your responsibility is almost hard to weigh. Just like being your unique God-designed self to being Christ-like. But only by His grace.

In our weekend getaway, I saw how I am such a sinner. God humbled me and I pray that He would continue to humble and prune me into His image. I saw how I needed Him financially, physically, in leading people to Him and most importantly how I am far from what He wants me to be as a woman.

And with the trip, I realized how judgmental I am. That I need to think of the best in people and not jump into conclusions but to love people even though they are different from what I want. That God has loved me while I am unloveable. And I am still not.

We watched Black Panther and I was amazed how God showed my heart when I felt like being insecure again while inside the movie house knowing that I am seated right next to none. But, God assured me that He is with me and that I can get my joy from Him and not from people. Maybe they can make me kilig but it is God's love that stays forever. Despite of how I look or smell. HAHA.

I am excited how the Lord would unfold His purposes. For now, I want to be in love with Him alone. I just want to do what He calls me now and that is to pour out my life, energy, efforts and resources to discipling the next generation for Jesus.

I know this blog was very magulo and not cohesive due to my no sleep today. I entered the office at 430am and leaving 11pm? HAHA. It is my prayer that my life will be about living for Jesus and His purposes and not mine. That in the future, I would be a suitable helpmate to my future husband.

I just teared up in the bus going back to Manila from Baguio as I thought of leaving. And at the end of the day, I do not want to leave Jesus Christ but to always be in His presence. That is Heaven to me.

This wasn't the first or the second time that I lost the opportunity to just do what I want, to just go where it feels good. But, I know that I am not made for this world. That I am made to please and glorify my Father in Heaven. His sending of Jesus Christ on the cross, I guess did not feel good as well. So whether or not I missed the opportunity for what I want, I didn't want to miss His heart for me because I am pretty sure that His love for me is perfect and nothing is crooked in Him.

Will this be the end of the week?

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...
