In the great mystery we call life, everything comes with ease with God’s guidance. However, there are forces that drive us away from the light. Caught in great confusion and in sheer aghast, they rob everything that God has planned for us. If only there were no difficulties in life, we would not have faltered in following the right path. But of course, asking an easy life is asking for the impossible. Everyone has their own struggles. Though some face the same struggles, how they feel about these differs in degree. As we spiral down in our journey, the desperation to call for help suffocates us. We want someone to hear this silent desperation; however, we fear that no one is willing to help us. Thereafter, we ask for God’s guidance. But, we’ve grown too impatient to wait for any signs of it. Patience – An Essential for God’s Guidance Succumbing to the evil of this world corrupts all the virtues we possess. Thus, getting back on the right path becomes more difficult than ever. Yet, little do we realize that God never abandons us. He sends help, yet our negative mindset fails to recognize them. Hence, we grow spiteful to Him as we think he no longer cares for His children. This is where patience comes in. Patience is an essential virtue that should never wane. If we allow evil to prevail and take over us, our patience would run so thin that we attack all the good things in this world with cynicism and spite. Help may not come as instantaneously as we expect. This is why we have to endure the trials that come along. God’s guidance from that hellhole will manifest in your vision, so stay patient. After all, you have to be acquainted with the dark side of the world for life to be fully appreciated. One can only hear the guidance of the Lord if one opens his heart to Him. Resist the threat of supreme evil and fill your heart with thoughts of a fulfilling life—a life with God. He will always be there to lend a helping hand. Reach out. Read the full article

The past few days, there's this certain thought that really muddled me up. My husband and I decided to permanently move to his hometown in Pampanga. It was one of the toughest decision I had to make - leaving home. And by leaving home, it meant that I have to leave also my current job. For the past three months, I have accepted the fact that I have to leave home, but to leave my work? It was tough. Luckily, I received this job offer from this certain company located in his hometown. One thursday night, I was so determined to file my resignation the next day, but before doing so, I asked God if I was doing the right thing. The next morning, I woke up with a heavy heart, separation anxiety hit me so hard. I cried buckets of tears that morning that I have to call in sick to work. Suddenly, I felt so confused I really do not know what to do. So I gave it another day to rethink it all through. I asked my parents, my husband, my siblings what to do. We prayed and asked God for signs and answers. After much considerable thought, I have declined the offer. I know it wasn't for me. Blessed that I am, there had been recent transitions and lateral movements at work, and I was given the opportunity to transfer to Pampanga branch! Meaning, I won't have to leave my company just to move in to his hometown. God is indeed so good! :)
