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.

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 ...

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 ...
