Until...

This Sunday, on our church's worship service, I was again reminded of my purpose. The message of God delivered by our Senior Pastor, rekindled that I lost. The fire that burns to do everything in all excellence.

The message I heard was strengthened by the video that happened to appear on my Youtube frontpage. A podcast named 'KwentoJuan' and they have the famous millennial influencer Jericho Arceo as their guest speaker.

The question that once was flooding my mind was slowly set into peace just like the story on how God calmed the raging ocean written in the Bible. I cannot put into words how grateful I am that I have a God who teaches me not just to strive but to thrive.

He keeps on reminding me that we aren't only destined to work hard but we are also designed to prosper, but, that prosperity can never be achieved in an instance. Prosperity isn't as easy as getting it overnight but we should understand that it will only be attained with facing struggles and hardships, and releasing our strongholds because all of that will teach us lessons. Lessons which will change our mindset about living everything not just to please people but to do everything for God's glory that it may cause a great holistic breakthrough in our lives. Also, a lesson that left a rhema in my heart was when they say "Substance over Status. Character over Intellect." and I cannot forget the quote by C.S. Lewis, "Education without values makes man a clever devil". A sentence that is self-explanatory.

These lessons I've learned from the people who speaks life and the messages God is teaching me were the reasons of mine in conquering my daily life with full confidence. To do every single actions not to please people but to glorify God.

Mahirap tanggapin pero ito ang katotohanan.

Madalas sa buhay inuubos natin ang ating lakas sa mga bagay na hindi tayo sigurado, walang eksaktong plano, tinatahak kahit pa alam na delikado. Totoo naman kasi na sobrang sarap magmahal at napakasarap sa pakiramdam ng alam mong may kahit isang tao pinapahalagahan ka. Pero sapat ba na puso lang ang dapat na pairalin?

Para sa akin, dito nagsisimula lahat ng gulo, sa puntong puro damdamin at emosyon nalang ang kumikilos at di na nagagawang panaigin ang itinuturo ng isip na tama. Ito rin marahil ang nagiging ugat ng mga bagay na lahat ng taong nagmamahal ay ayaw maranasan, ang lokohin at bigla nalang maiwanan. Sa oras na lahat ng kilig ay unti-unti nang naglalaho dito mapapaisip tayo, "Siya ba talaga yung tamang tao? Bakit siya nagbago?". Ito ang nagiging resulta ng PUSO higit sa ISIP. Di tayo nagiging bukas sa mga posibilidad at di malawak ang ating pang-intindi sa mga pagbabago na pwedeng mangyari bukas dahil nakatuon lang tayo sa kung anong nararamdaman natin.

Kung inyong panonoorin ang kantang Paubaya na likhang musika ni Moira Dela Torre, matutunghayan natin na napakahalaga ng PAGPAPAUBAYA hindi lang sa taong minamahal mo ngunit PAGPAPAUBAYA sa Kanya ng buhay mo, dahil sa dulo Siya lamang ang makapagsasabi ng kung anong patutunguhan mo. Lakipan ng pagpapatawad, pagpapalaya at ng matinding panalangin ang ating mga PAUBAYA.

Oo't mahirap labanan ang itinadhana, ngunit wala ng mas sasarap pa sa pagmamahal na ang hanggana'y hindi pagpapaubaya.

Traveling in Times of Pandemic

"You're off to great places, today is your day" - Dr. Seuss

Life has never been so much fun every time we still got to find ways in enjoying it even though we are in the middle of unwanted circumstances. It is by nature that we possess such a great heart of joyfulness despite of the challenges we are facing. Heart-melting it is to see how people, especially nowadays at time of Covid-19 pandemic, are able to push through adventures which proves how joy and pleasure-seekers we are as humans.

But of course, traveling amidst pandemic gives us the duty in being responsible with our actions that we may not add to the crisis that our world is, right now. Also, traveling isn't just about visiting different places worldwide but sometimes this is also connected with our personal agendas and work-related trips.
