3 long months have passed since I left my work. I was then very excited to have my much awaited break since ages. I was always tired then, coming off from 3 different kinds of work in just one day. I thought, it was finally the time for me to take a rest and reflect on myself. Relax, and spend time with my family.
True enough, after 3 months of staying at home and doing stuff I normally couldn’t do (watch movies, sleep for 10 hours and just stare at the sunset) still, I can’t stay that I’m satisfied. Not that I still want more vacation but this workaholic spirit in me is now splurging and makes me feel (honestly) a bit paranoid and pressured of what’s yet to come.
A month from now, classes will resume, and I, as a teacher only have one school to work in (UMak) and that’s even part time, 2 working days in a week. What am I supposed to do with the rest of my days? Here is where all the pressure and anxieties come in. How can I pay the monthly bills? What will I do with the rest of the days? How can I continue studying and support myself and my family? All these questions come to my mind and it’s really and honestly bogging me up.
I was suddenly reminded of the word that the Lord gave me when I was about to make the decision of leaving Talkpia. Go out, I will be with you. I promise you blessings (Haggai 2:4-5). The Lord has promised to be with me. Not only that, he also has promised to bless me once I go and step out in faith of him. But, now that I’m in this situation.. when waiting seems to be the hardest thing to do, what do I cling on to? Where will I hold on?
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
Being still with my creator, being faithful in Him in the midst of this situation, seems very challenging. But like what I always say, it’s all our choice. It’s my decision. It’s my choice to be with Him, to wait for Him and be faithful in whatever HE will do in my life. I may not see His plans now and my plans may not be His plans but I know that the Lord will lead me to where I can bring more glory and honor to His name. I can only see a part of the whole plan the Lord has in store for me. A challenge,YES but I have a bigger God.
Psalm 20:4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
The Lord knows the desire of my heart and I am faithful and in His perfect time, I will be lead to the campus where I can administer to more students and co-teachers. And now, through God’s grace, I have decided to stay in the boat, be with Him in this walk, be patient and be still.
Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

YOU CHOOSE THE GIRL, DON’T LET THE GIRL CHOOSE YOU.
This is manhood stuff that you dont see in chick flicks where the girl usually picks the man. The man chooses. The man pursues. The man runs after the girl and not the other way around.
Here is a brotherly advice for women: “Sister – if your…
| Me (in a tizzy) : | God, can I ask you something? |
| GOD: | Sure. |
| Me: | Promise you won't get mad? |
| GOD: | I promise. |
| Me (frustrated): | Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today? |
| GOD: | What do you mean? |
| Me: | Well I woke up late, |
| GOD: | Yes. |
| Me: | My car took forever to start, |
| GOD: | Okay.... |
| Me (growling): | At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait |
| GOD: | Hmmmm.. |
| Me: | On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call |
| GOD: | All right. |
| Me (loudly): | And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work. Nothing went right today! Why did you do that? |
| GOD: | Well let me see..... the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that. |
| Me (humbled): | Oh... |
| GOD: | I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that might have hit you if you were on the road. |
| Me (ashamed): | ............ |
| GOD: | The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work. |
| Me (embarrassed): | Oh..... |
| GOD: | Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered. |
| Me (softly): | I see God. |
| GOD: | Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark. |
| Me: | I'm sorry God. |
| GOD: | Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.........in all things, the good and the bad |
| Me: | I will trust you God. |
| GOD: | And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan |
| Me: | I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today. |
| GOD: | You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children. |
Antagal ko ng hindi nkakapagpost dito..And I didn’t expect that you would be the reason for me to post something like this here..
Pero ayun nga.. I just want to express my extreme happiness over what the Lord has done to you and to your life now. Though we’re directing our paths towards completely different ways, now I know that we have one common end and that is Jesus Christ.
Four years back, we were so young and innocent yet so full of hopes and dreams. We dreamt of our future together and sort of everything and the like. Pero God’s will na din tlga na after those four-*wala ako maisip na word* years, we ended up parting ways.
Four years, kala nila tayo na tlga, sagot ko, kala ko din kame na eh haha.. Though those years were challenging, and at times heart-breaking, thank you still, thank you for being one of the reasons why I am this one strong woman of faith now.
Though you may never have the chance to read this, I just want you to know that I am thankful for what you have done in my life. I am not this kind of person I am right now if not for you and our juvenile commitment. You may not know that I am still proud that you are the kind of man God gave me to be with; an honest person that you are.
Words are not enough for me to express how thankful I am to our Lord that He has called me out when I was in the midst of everything. And now, again, I am so overwhelmed that you have finally found your home; and that is in our Lord, Jesus. I am proud of you. We may not be together anymore, nor maybe in the future.. but I just want you to know that you’ll always have a special place in this existing soul of mine. Thank you.
Wherever you are, whatever you may be doing, I know that you’ll be great because you’re now in His custody. I am hoping for nothing but the best to be bestowed upon you. Great career, great health, great relationship with Him, and of course in God’s time, I know that He will show you the woman who will be your better half and will lead you more to Jesus.
This may be the first and the last time I’ll be blogging about you, about us, and again. Thank you. Thank you for being a part of this soul.
