My Bucket List

I don't have a lot of bucket list in this world but I only have this six bucket list that I want to do. So here it goes.

1.Travel around the world - This has been my dream since I am young; to see the world and enjoy and plunge into the beauty of God's creation. In fact, I tried to get a "tourism" course so that I can travel but I am happy that I did not get it since I am now a happy Industrial Engineer. Though I did not end up as a "tourism" graduate, I believe that anyone can travel regardless of their course as long as they make it as their goal. I end up travelling the Philippines when I am still in my teenage years. I went to Pangasinan, Iloilo, Boracay, Baguio, Sagada, Tagaytay, Quezon, Laguna, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Palawan, and Surigao. And I am still planning to go to Bohol, Ilocos, and Camiguin. My first trip out of the country last 2013 in Thailand is awesome. I still want to go to other countries if my finances warrants me to do such as South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and explore Europe. I hope I will have my chance on this.  

2. Maintain a blog - I know that this is already checked in my bucket list but I am not a writer so I also find it hard to write entries here. So, maintaining this blog is a challenge to me.

3. Write a book - I want to start this while I am young and where my mind is full of ideas and full of creativity. I hope I can write one, even I am the only person who will read it as of the moment. Because I am sure, that someday my book will be read by someone from the future when he/she stumbles upon it. 

4. Marry the person I love and loves me - I am a woman, whose heart wants to be captivated. I want love and romance and I would like to marry the person I love and also loves me.

5. Build an awesome family - If one of my bucket list is to marry, then it is also my dream to build an awesome family. A family where I could be a wife and a mother to my children. We will do things together and live an awesome life where God will be the center of it.

6. Live a meaningful life that honors God - I want to live a life where people remember me as the one who honors God. It maybe hard for it is challenging, knowing the fact that people knows me for having a hard heart. But I know and I believe that it is the grace of God that I can live a life that is meaningful and wonderful.

I know that I can only do these things with the grace of God. I believe that He will let me have all of this in this life time. 

A CRY FOR A PRAYER

It’s been three years since I went back in the province. Cities, tall buildings, train stations, jeepneys, long walks, and crowded place are now unfamiliar to me. In just a short span of time, many things change including myself.

When I am living in the metropolitan area, I am sure of who I am. I know that I am a child of God and I know that I am obeying Him. But now that I live here in the province where everything seems to be comfortable; my ride from our home to office is hassle free, the place I live has all the facilities and amenities that I need, I can spend my free hours with my loved ones and I think I have a career ahead of me, but I became spiritually stagnant. Sad to say but the truth is I am spiritually unhealthy.

I know that I have my own choice to change everything, I have to turn back to Him not because I am obliged to but because I desire to. My spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. I need a church here in the province where I can grow spiritually and be full of Him that all I want in this life is to share Him to other people. I need the fire of others so that I won’t be losing my own. But it’s hard to find it here, I just wish that my church from the metropolitan area shall plant a church here so that I can join.

I am not proud of this that I post it here, but I guess I need your help to pray for me that I will be burningly hot again in praising and worshiping His name. I know that I can start it on my own, I can start reading again His word consistently every day for I am trying to do it for several times already, but after a few times, I begin to wander in the opposite direction and lost it again. That is why I need you to pray for me, I need you to stop the enemy from stopping me to do it, I need your prayers.

Today, while writing this, I am hungry of Him and thirsty of Him. I pray that He will lead me to the right path, and guide me. I still believe that whatever He started in me, He shall put it in completion. I know that I am a work in progress but I also to know that I am responsible to respond on the things He is showing me. And I am decided that my respond will always be Yes to Him.  I just pray that He will give me strength to say No to the enemy and give me all the resources I need to be consistent in this walk with Him. I know that He can and He will. Again, please pray for me.
