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.

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 ...

Insect Bite

It's been a while since I tried writing here. Been to a mission trip and now facing the reality of my vow to the Lord at the start of this year. Compared to last year, my character has been under refinery this past few months. I felt like I've arrived and so pride cost me and has put shame on my Savior and Lord.  Early this year, I wanted to make my year clear from any idol and so vowed to the Lord to follow and love Him alone, literally, no other man. No adultery.  Balance of everything. I've been praying about this for two years now and I always get my Lord down because of me not standing my ground. When my heart broke late this year, I went to my knees and was reminded by what I told the Lord early this year. I broke His heart again. I don't want to hurt Him again and I know that I should die to myself and live for Him alone. So, I resolved with the Lord to wait for him for another year, 2017 for Jesus. It hurts but if I trust Him that He will bring...
