Canvas

It's been a month since I was very thirsty of the love of this world. It still comes sometimes. Like last night. I was very emotional thinking about the pain I have gone through this year. But, in the morning, truly joy comes in. Really praying and surrendering all your pains and disappointments to the Lord and allowing Him to comfort you.

I am doing this now while in the office on my sabbath day so I would not have to watch Ang Probinsyano haha jk but personally, I am truly praising God for allowing me to book another flight to Dumaguete to just rest and get off the Manila traffic and just spend time with my mom. Praying that I get to pray when we are there and not to thirst for love that doesn't quench.

I know that I am not where God wants me to be. I am pushing for what I want. Cause my whole life, I feel like I am considering others in my decisions and this time, I would want to be honest with God to do things on my own. But I know there is emptiness. I know that this is not where peace is. The peace that transcends all understanding.

First, in my career.

Second, with my heart.

I am so small in the midst of the deep sea, yet I am deeply loved by the Creator of it.

I have been very happy being in the ministry for five years now knowing that this is me obeying God's call for me. I would not have it any other way. Because I have experienced God deeper here. I wouldn't know where I would be if I didn't seek Him and obey Him. But as I study, I wanted to be used by God where it is hard soil. Where I could be used by Him outside of the ministry setting. If I will be effective in that way, I would love to go to law school and serve Him in every way and capacity I could.

I know I have sinned and invested time and emotions with a friend. And so, today, I would rather develop healthy friendships with people and stop investing unnecessary emotions and clinginess to them and just focus on my Jesus who supplies all my emotional needs. This is so nakakahiya and painful for my future husband as it is to my Lord and my God. So today, I just talk to Him and not on guys that I should get my security from. Nakatulong din pala. So for the next month, I pray that I continue to enjoy God's presence and that the Lord would protect me and my future husband to follow His design and His timing. To trust in Him writing our love story. And Him being honored. Despite of my desires, His desires above all. Because those are the best. <3

My mission trip in Dumaguete and Cebu helped me see how God loves me so much and how He wants what is best for me when He showed me love tangible through people and that I must also be a blessing to people and not be consumer lang.

May the canvas be painted by God alone.

As I wait, I trust You my God. I will obey and macimize this time to make you known.

If you ask God for Him to secure your heart, He would answer it, because that is His will for you and for me.

If it doesn’t hurt anymore, maybe you are not making a progress. I learned this as I gym and cycle.

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...
