BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

There is something that I want to write today. I am not sure what it is but I want to put into words all of my thoughts at this very moment.

I begin to appreciate my life lately despite the troubles around me. I am reminded again that not all questions raised have answers right now nor all problems can be solved immediately. For everything has its own time and has its own season as stated in the book of Ecclesiastes.

These past few days, I am so eager to get out into where I am right now. I begin to tell Him that I don't want this life and I want to rush into the next chapter of my life because I am not sure if I can still handle everything anymore. And because I am in a hurry, I begin to be frustrated to do the things that is not meant to be in the first place. I am trying to do something that is beyond what God has called me to do and that is the reason why I feel so tired lately. I begin to rush myself to the next chapter that I forget to appreciate the beauty of my life right now. 


But today, God has revealed to me again that wherever I am right now, He designed me to be here. He intended me to be here for a reason and I have to trust in Him completely. He is reminding me that to trust Him means worries and anxiousness should be removed in my life. Instead, it should be replaced with peace and joy that comes from Him. He wanted me to see the beauty of this season because everything is beautiful in its own time.

I should cherish each moment today because this is the place where God called me to do. Maybe I can't see progress in my life but I know that He is doing something with it for He has plans for me, plans to give me a hope and a future.

Because I am here, He wants me to bloom where He planted me. I am here for a reason and I should be fulfilling that mission. He had equipped me with all the things that I needed in order to do His will and bring glory to His name so there is no reason that I can't get out from where I am. He didn't want me to get out actually, He want me to get something out of my situation instead. And because of this, I should prepare myself to whatever the things that He is calling me to and not to do. 

A REMINDER

I am in a serious business with the Lord. I need His presence to manifest in my life these coming few days. I want to immerse myself with His word so that I will be guided in everything that is happening in my life.

I am not perfect but I have a perfect Father. I have a disorganize life right now, everything is in chaos that I no longer know what to do in order to move on. I am stuck into a situation where I am not sure if I can still get out without the help of my Father. I know that I have stumbled and I need Him to raise me up again.

I’ve been to heartaches after heartaches these past few years. Series of disappointments and frustrations came into my life that I am not sure if I can still get out of it. However, every time I think that I have a Father who has promises to me; I know that I can get out from where I am right now with confidence. Maybe I have hurt Him because of my stubbornness, foolishness and disobedience and I am really sorry because of it. But it will not be the reason that will hinder me to continue to trust in Him. Because I believe that nothing can ever separate me from His love through His Son, Jesus Christ. And I thank Him for it.

Today, I have decided to be focus on my relationship with Him. I am thirsty of Him and I want Him to fill my cup until it overflows. I desire no one but only Him in my life. May He direct me and lead me to the right path as I entrusted Him every area of my life. Even though what is happening to me is beyond my understanding, I put my faith into the Sovereign God who will never leave nor forsake me.

This entry will be a reminder to myself that no matter what I am going through, I will live a life of victory because of my Father’s love for me through His Son, Jesus Christ. Now, I have to live a life that would glorify Him because He certainly deserves all of my praise. This will be a reminder that I am in serious business with my Father.

I AM NOT YET SURE

If there is someone who gives his time for me and is willing to love me for being me despite my imperfection, will I give him a chance?

It’s been quite awhile since I had my heart broken and I am not sure if I am ready to plunge again into something dangerous but real called “falling in love”. I consider falling in love a danger because once I did it again, I am letting my heart at stake of the possibilities to be hurt and be broken into pieces again. But reality says that we cannot love without getting hurt because along the way, at some point or another, we will be hurt by the one we love or we will hurt them.

So the question for me right now lies on my willingness to be wounded again because of love. Am I really ready to take the risk of falling in love again despite the uncertainties of the future?Is this person worth the risk that I am about to take?

Maybe at this moment I am not yet sure of my answer.  But I am certain that one day the answer will just show before me.  

Let's heal the world... let's plant trees...

Recently, our company joined the tree growing festival in our city; it is an activity where all registered participants will plant a tree in different areas of Koronadal City. We are assigned to plant trees in the mountains of Brgy. Cacub.

We met at the royal bakeshop around 4:30 in the morning so that we can proceed immediately at the city hall where the assembly area of all the participants. We've waited there for almost two hours to watch the program until it has been finished. At the end of the program, all of the vehicles carrying all the participants proceeds to their areas. We immediately went to Brgy Cacub, it is an almost 30 minutes ride from the city hall.

When we proceed to Brgy. Cacub, the officer in charge demonstrated to us the proper way to plant the trees. After which, we walk to the mountainside and plant some trees. There is no specific number of trees to be planted per participant. We just need to finish to plant all the seedlings in our assigned area. As for my case, I only plant atleast four seedlings and I consider it a great accomplishment. Atleast, I've been part to heal the world again by planting trees in our city even just once in  a year. I just hope that the trees I've planted will grow.

Go Jan! Let your hands be used to save the earth!

Smile Joy! It's okay to be a krung krung. hahaha. :)

Pang ilang plant na yan?

Smile, Smile, Smile Me.
