graces

I just finished my oral exam in Cultural anthropology. Thank you Lord for the wisdom! I am now free as a bird! Whew! It has been a tough semester.But God’s grace has really been overflowing.

Ok so, what’s with the oral exam! Whoa! Mass destruction? Of course not. I actually enjoyed it.I don’t know, i was actually teary eyed while I was talking to my professor. Kasi he asked me something and it was actually a bonus question, niya: “What is this thing that keeps you going?”

“It reminded me of the movie August Rush and the last quotation it said: “Music is all around us all we have to do is listen”

I found it really difficult to find the answer because I wasn’t really listening.I was just too busy asking that I didn’t realized the answer was already there. I tried to listen to what my heart was shouting. It was too loud that I couldn’t imagine it’s going to be hard for me to hear it.

It was my passion to serve God. It was my passion burning for God. He keeps me going that no matter how many times I tried to escape, I always get back to where he wanted me to be. He is my music. I tried to list down all my talents once again, but this time not for inventory. I realized that the reason why I wasn’t ablt to find myself on those talents was because I didn’t included the real purpose why I was doing those things and why I was able to do those things.

 The last question would be; Where is this passion taking me through? I don’t know, just like Evan, He was able to find his family and his hope became a reality. As with me I am also hopeful that someday, my passion for God will bring me to something I really desire most. And that of is according to His plan. I haven’t figured it out yet. I may not have seen it yet but I have the certainty and hope that it would be something great for me. And soon He will reveal it. I will be able to know myself more because he will gradually envision it to me. I just have to open my eyes and listen very carefully. And most of all Obey.”

While I was telling him all of those, he was smiling I can see that he was very satisfied with what I have been saying. Then he said ” that was really inspiring grace, I hope that others from your generation would also find their “parolas”, that thing in which they could look back to not in a negative way but to look back so that they wouldn’t be misled.Bagay na baga sayo yung pangalan mo grace of God.”

Then upon going out from the classroom, feeling ko babagsak ang luha ko. God has been really great and I have felt His love overflowing taaga. All the changes in my life, lahat ng achievements ko, everything na meron ako, it does not belong to me. It is His. Pinahiram niya lang sa akin lahat ng ito. Lord, I love you so much!! I give it al back to you!! Lahat ng glory!! You deserve it God!! YOU ARE REALLY GOOD!!!

So how did this day went? So far so good. Well, it’s a brand new day and I thank God for a new beginning.

I started the day by hearing God’s voice through my devotion, and prayer. Then, even though I don’t have a class today, I still have so much things to accomplish. You see it’s only two weeks before finals, it’s kinda freaking me out, but I know God is always in control, so I just let go of it and let God. Well, I have to finish 2 papers today, and I have to review for 3 exams. I kinda feel lazy. Ugh! I really hate that feeling but you see, I have to fight this laziness!

So what are the highlights today? Oh! I met a new friend and she was just my age! And she’s also a Christian She’s from Canada. It really feels so great having new friends everyday. I actually talked to our guidance counselor last week and she told me about this little thing called “RAPPORT”. Well it has something to do with building relationships, and it’s really important especially for us humans. It reminded me of Proverbs 18:1 it says there; “Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out all sound judgment”

Anyway, I was the one who cooked for our lunch today. I really need to develop my cooking skills more. I gotta be prepared :)) It’s called “Cheese and Corn Chowder with Moringa”. It’s really appetizing and nutritious. You can leave a message if you want to have the recipe:)

That’s all for today! :) To God be all the glory!

ALP @ Lyceum Culinary Institute.

Just cooked 5 dishes from North American Cuisine.

‘twas such an amazing experience. I had another certificate. A really great preparation before we enter the industry after a year :) I am so excited. I was really able to learn a lot in just one day. I really love learning. Investing on this kind of seminar is so optimal. :)

Overcoming my worst enemy; a confession

As I spend more time with the Lord, I began to gradually know myself. You see, God is showing a big picture of a facade of the hereafter. He has huge plans for me, but He wants me to do something in order to see the mosaic of that big picture vividly. God is always reminding me of how blessed and how loved I am. I can see His grace and favors pouring out on me. I can see the potentials He has given me.

But you see, the more I see it clearly, the more burdens in my heart tend to arise.  I feel guilty. It feels like I am being negligent on reinforcing and utilizing those potentials in a practical way.

I AM LAZY!and I AM NOT PROUD ABOUT IT! Actually, I hate it and it really feels so bad. It was like drugs that once you let it rule over you, you’ll find it hard to get away from it!

I gotta  long list of “to dos” and I wanna give it my best shot.It is somehow what God has intended me to do.

I want to be productive. I have to prepare myself for the future. The fruits might be good looking and might look sweet in the eyes of others, but every time I taste it, it’s not what many thinks it is. I feel like I don’t really deserve it.I can’t feel the real satisfaction, it might be a success as what many tends to see it, but it’s not.It feels like my efforts are not enough. I know I can still do better that what I am used to.I was just complacent and lazy.

My youth days are about to be over. Soon enough I will enter a new stage in my life. I gotta prepare for it. I don’t want my remaining youth days to be spoiled. It has to be spent productively!

I always have to remind myself; “Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically”- Romans 12:11

Lord please help me overcome this enemy!
