I wasn’t able to write for a very long time. Well, maybe because
I had other ways to express my emotions rather than writing it. 2013 is almost
over and as it is ending, I guess it is also my time to write in this blog once
again. My 2013 is one of the superb years that I can have; I had a great time
and most of my prayers are answered.
I always had my prayer and fasting every start of the year. Along
with it, I also have written my faith goals. Looking back at those goals, I am
so amazed on how God planned for my life. I just wanna share here the things
happened to me this 2013.
On my Career:
At the very start of 2013, I was promoted as Planning and
Evaluation Supervisor. But during the first two weeks of January, I still wrote
in my faith goals that this year I still pray for promotion in my career and an
opportunity to grow in other areas. I don’t
know how it will happen since I am just promoted recently, but still I decided
to write it down knowing that God will be in charge and not me. As to my
surprise, at the middle of the year, I am promoted as the HR & Admin Chief
at my workplace. This is a promotion and really an opportunity to grow for me
On my Personal Life:
It has been my faith goal this year that I can have
opportunity to travel abroad. Knowing that I don’t have enough money left in my
pocket and I don’t even have my own passport made me think that this is such an
impossible thing to happen. But as the year goes by, a chance came as a
surprise when my boyfriend told me that he wanted to go to his cousin’s wedding
at Thailand and he wanted me to come with him. So, we decided to visit Thailand
after a very short notice.
On my Relationships:
It is always my prayer that I would improve my relational
skills. This year, I am so blessed that I could spend more bonding moments with
my family. The death of my “apong” and “tatay” made me clode with them more. Also,
my relationship with my boyfriend has been stronger as we continue to build
memories and moments together.
On my Finances:
I thank God for all the financial blessing He provided me
this year. My advancement in career means advancement on my finances. This
year, I was able to give a share to my mom and to other people. I hope that
more blessings will also come next year.
On my Family’s Health:
I remember praying for the health of my mom who is diagnosed
with a myoma. She had a very big myoma on the previous years and the doctor
already advised for an operation. However my mom had a followed check up this
year and to the surprise of the doctor, it had decreased. Hopefully, It will be
lesser next year.
On my Spiritual Life:
I know that one of my goals this year is to have a
consistent prayer life and to start a ministry in my area. However, I’ve been
so busy this year that I wasn’t able to do this. However, I’ve started to put a
little effort to be back at the time I am so active in the church. I tried to
show my family the importance of prayer as we pray together before meals and
especially those moments that my family really needs one. I remember praying
with my mother especially during the hard times this year.
I have just written here some of my faith goals this 2013
which has been answered. Without Him, it is impossible for me to have those
blessings. At the end of each day, I know
that it is my Father in heaven who provides for me and who will continue to
give his grace and mercy in my life. And
at the end of each year, the greatest blessing is the gift of salvation through
Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to have Him in my life this year for without
Him, I am nothing. 2013 is indeed amazing as we cling on to His promises for He who promised is faithful.
