Took Me A While

When you do the right things for others yet it is not appreciated.

I believed so many lies of satan with just 24 hours after knowing how filled you are. Have you experienced that? One minute you are filled the second to it you are totally controlled by yourself and I call this being controlled by the evil knowing that we are spiritual beings.

First, when everybody have deserted you, know that God is near. When you feel like the whole world has gone against you, that is not true. When the people that you have helped do not reciprocate it.

Sharing with you an excerpt from The Bondage Breaker of Neil T. Anderson that I read after feeling so down.

Sacrifice the Temporal to Gain the Eternal
Possibly the greatest sign of spiritual maturity is the ability to postpone rewards. Hebrews
11:24-26 says: "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to
enjoy the passing pleasures of sin; considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward." It is far better to know that we
are the children of God than to gain anything that the world calls valuable. Even if
following Christ results in hardships in this life, He will make it right in eternity.
Satan's ultimate lie is that you are capable of being the god of your own life, and
his ultimate bondage is getting you to live as though his lie is truth. Satan is out to usurp
God's place in your life. And whenever you live independent of God, focusing on
yourself instead of on the cross, preferring material and temporal values to spiritual and
eternal values, he has succeeded. The world's solution to this conflict of identity is to
inflate the ego while denying God the opportunity to take His rightful place as Lord.
Satan couldn't be more pleased—that was his plan from the beginning.


We have to be reminded that we are God's children. That we have the authority to cast the bad spirits in us. As we serve Christ, who you are must always take precedence over what you do.

Last holy week, my sister and I served the Coron people through medical mission. I shared the gospel while my sister looked at their physical well-being. But, sometimes as we serve God, we forget Him. That we are first His.

Sometimes also, I would feel like I don't belong to any group. That is why I wanted to just build friendships outside of church. But I was reminded that wherever we are, we should still be follower of Christ. As we plan for a surf outside of Manila, it is my prayer that we get to know God more and to honor God in our friendships. That satan would not have a foothold in us.

Will share some of the photos from Coron, Palawan.

As we were on the plane, I was reminded how small I am compared to my big God who created all these.
As we made our way into the hills, the plane made iwas and it made our stomachs to be uncomfy.
As I iwas to what God doesn't want to not be a consequence, it will be uncomfy
but I know God, You won't let me go as I say no.

The simplicity of a poblacion.

Our God's Great design.

The vastness of the sea is God's love for us.

This made me in awe.

Wherever you look, God's Greatness.

Our God is our Rock.

The waters have always scared me but knowing I have my lifejacket, I have the Lord, I have nothing to be worried about.

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...
