Freedom

NBA slipped off my hands. The once-in-a-lifetime dream. I thought I can finally live it out.
FOMO- I have drafted this, and I think I have duplicated my draft because I was able to post a FOMO post a long time ago. I drafted this, 10/9/13. I am thinking of applying for courtside for the sake of FOMO but I do not want to miss out on God’s plan, so whatever His will is.

I am cleaning up my drafts and trying to continue them before I start anew. I was asked by my disciple how I destress and I was shocked that she asked that. She really throws questions that are out of the box, if I may describe my meetigs with her. I sometimes like it, if I know the answer but most of the time, I do not know what to answer so I grabbed my sandwich, my favorite veggie delight from subway, and bit some to think and blurted out, how I am not good in accountability. No one wants accountability. No one wants to reveal their weaknesses. I have been watching the world cup and it is very hard how the coaches are planning how to deal with their weaknesses and not flaunt them. The same with the social media. One of the reasons I am not a social media poster is because of the fact that I might stumble somebody else and I might get addicted to the likes and affirmation of people which I know is my weakness. I do not want masking myself with filters that are in reality doesn’t exist. Plus the fact that I need to answer the comments of people. Please do not get me wrong, I would love to connect to people but it is taxing for me to answer every single comment publicly which i am thinking of the others seeing the comment as well so I would rather have private convos but sometimes I don’t feel luke talking as well. The bottomline that the Lord has been speaking to me is HUMILITY. I am very proud that is why I asked God to break me and lo, He did. He took all the things that I get my security on and I was freed. I just knew this week that Exodus was about freedom. The Philippines has just celebrated our Independence Day last week and my exodus in Exodus has been a timely theme. I have been freed by God from my past and I do not have to go back to it and now, He is leading me to Him- the promised land. Of course, I have my thoughts of His promises but now, it is letting Him decide for me. Because no one else is like God. 

This week has been painful physically but emotional pain is hurtful than my cough. But, the Lord reminded me to mourn before Him and allow Him to comfort me and not look on the wrong places. To not fear about missing out as long as I am where God has called me. So, I am praying for education certification as I prepare for the future homeschooling of my children and praying for how to earn extra to save up for the future. 

I also learned that God wants me to be myself and not be pressured by others but to trust that the Lord loves me so!

Lord, we thank You because You are our life and You are on Your throne, high and exalted. I thank You because You are All- Powerful, You are our Provider, You are our Redeemer, You are our victory and banner. Be magnified! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

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.

Consistency

  This would be how I would look like if asked what I would say to my younger self. Adding, I hope you obey God’s no consistently because it won’t get any easy as you get older.  Sometimes, because we know that God is Gracious, we would already spend our lives in the way we want it to go knowing that God forgives and He rescues. But as what we have been repeating in this blog, we cannot escape the unnecessary pains that we could have missed if we just chose to yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Consistency in your love for Jesus is difficult. A one-time high or a seasonal-high in basketball won’t give you the championship. It will just win you games but the goal is to not just win games, the goal is your whole self experiencing Christ and being transformed into His image.  I learned about myself that whenever I feel like I’ve had enough of God for the day, I would stop being in His presence and will just do my thing. I make Him a to-do list that after talking to Him for ...

Bitter or Better

Practice doesn’t make perfect… in relationships. I think every single person who has fallen to the trap of satan (I intended not to make it capital letter) that we have to try things to know what we can improve on in the future, which gives away part of us in waste in the process. All the people who have fallen to the trap would say “uhhh how I wish I could go back in that time and yell at my younger self and say, stop it, Michelle Aquino, just stop.” When we aren’t convinced of God’s goodness, we will not follow His design. When we don’t trust God’s goodness, we won’t listen to His instructions. When we doubt that all He wants for us is the best, we will not obey Him and thus suffer unnecessary pains. We are free to choose, but we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. In lawn tennis, volleyball or any other sport that gives the opponent the score when we make a mistake, they would always say, go for the next point. When we sin, humble ourselves, admit that we’ve sinned,...
