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.

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...

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 ...
