Leksyon sa Eleksyon

So, I'll be back in sharing in this blog what I am learning from the Lord. I wanted to post my draft re the Philippine elections but I know that it would not please the Lord and might hurt people with how I constructed it so I am making a new one now that I am calmed down from the results.

It is hard to handle extreme joy of Vico Sotto, our city's new mayor, winning and seeing the senatorial race filled with the senators that I am not sang-ayon to be in the legislative body and that is extreme sadness.

I pity myself and this nation. What brought us here?

I would rant on twitter my disappointment and my joy after a while. Baka nga mabaliw na ako neto e. Pero with this, I wanted to get to know God more. I wanted to come to the Lord. I wanted to just tell God how I feel. How disappointed I am. How I feel helpless. That I cannot do anything. That I wanted to do another job that would be more significant. God showed me how dumi my heart is again. How selfish I am. How proud I am. How grave my sins against God is.

This is where I want to share what God impressed on my heart.

First, it starts with me. How disciplined I am. How I help the people around me. What I am doing with what God has given me. Where has God has led me. Are we living with integrity in small things? Start small. Listen to God and obey Him. Be excellent with where I am now. We all want a better Philippines.

Second, do not depend on people. Trust God. Not for them but for God's glory. Maybe the elected officials are not the ones I am pulling for but God has His plan. He is Good in the good times and bad. He is the same God who elected Vico and the ones whom I do not want to win but God allowed it to happen so I can still trust the character of who allowed it to happen. The creator of the universe. Balik tayo sa Kanya.

Third, surrender to Him. Love Him. Serve Him joyfully. Even if the things I am praying for won't happen, He is Perfect. I am loved by Him. He protects.

So, I will walk with Him step by step. Until I see Him face to face. Despite the pain, despite the things that I want won't happen. I lay down my life. God, You are my God. I give You my heart and all my desires. You know best. He knows the future. He placed me here, this is the best. He loves.

Prayed for this and I surrender this as well knowing that God is in control, that I should continue to do what is right even if no one knows about it, that I should not lose hope of this country being better. I would want to continue educating the unlearned. That I should follow Christ in this sinful world that reminds me that in the end, Christ is victorious, that in the end, God rewards.


In His Pursuit,
Michelle Aquino

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.

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...

Hacked But Not Crushed

I value privacy the most (who would not?), at least for my life since I met the LORD (but now that I’m writing this, I don’t think I can still stand to my first claimed statement). I don’t use my facebook and so someone used it. It was a Friday, around 5:30PM, while I was in our leader’s training and about to start our prayer time when my dgroup leader for the longest time called and told me the discouraging news that I was hacked on facebook. I quickly asked the place I was in if they have a wifi, but they don’t give it to customers. The thing with me is, I don’t have that free facebook thing because I’m preventing myself from scrolling through the pages on my free times and  I’m keeping myself away from unnecessary posting of events publicly, I chose not to. I praise the Lord for my disciple who has a facebook and so I logged in, deleted the not-pleasing-to-the-Lord post and changed my password. I felt so down. I felt like it was my fault. Is that what Jesus feels whenever I t...
