2013: DECADE OF DESTINY



2012 was really good to me, not entirely but I managed to be sane and relax. Oh yes! Super relax, to the point that I missed out few things. I began to be comfortable on my situation. 

I ended my year with not so pleasant things, not what I expected but hey at least I enjoyed. Realizing I didn’t miss anything with my life. 

Every year, I have this “ritual” that every beginning of the year, I need to seek God’s promise for me this year and since that I had to many places, I felt that He let me to experience few things then “I’ll get back to you later, honey”. And when I get back home, I am certified couch potato! But still God is so good. He has his own ways, in His own time to speak with You. 

Well, few months to go and I’ll celebrate my quarter-life. I think this adds up with my frustration and being unfocused,  my “que sera sera” moment should be put on my shelf right now. Here are self-questions from Rick Warren that will help me to focus on my life. This might be rough for me, I will write with my all honesty!

FOCUS YOUR LIFE – The next ten years can be the greatest of your life. They can become a Decade of Destiny, where your life is focused and as a result, you‘re able to make an impact in all you do.
– Rick Warren

PRESENT POSITION:

Where am I now? In Copenhagen. Student.

Where are you spiritually? Thirsty and hungry.
                                Financially? Have credits and credit card
                                Emotionally? Ok.
                                Relationally? Alone but not lonely. Single.  
                                Physically? Process of trying to be look and 
                                                  feel good.
                                Occupationally? Have part-time work.

What would I like to change?
I want to keep the thirst and hunger for the Word. But financially, I want to get out with credits. I am ok emotionally. I can live and survive no fuss about I am always alone. Definitely, I want to have a relationship with someone. I am happy that finally I have this eagerness to look and feel good and work, oh yes, full time please!

SPECIFIC ABOUT YOUR FUTURE:

What do I want to be? Master Degree or Phd Degree holder. Project Manager. Permanent resident.

What do I want to do? Study. Travel. Work.

What do I want to have? Own Family. Own house. 
                                     Permanent and Decent Work.

Why do I want it? Talking about goals and life, this is what I imagine about life. Sounds shallow but having a degree and permanent work makes me feel that I am useful. This is not to boast around but this is self-satisfaction. To know that I live my life to the fullest.

GOD’S PROMISE: “Don’t look at your limitations; look at the promises of God”

Psalm 112[NLT]

1 Praise the Lord!

How joyful are those who fear the Lord
    and delight in obeying his commands.
2 Their children will be successful everywhere;
    an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
3 They themselves will be wealthy,
    and their good deeds will last forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly.
    They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
5 Good comes to those who lend money generously
    and conduct their business fairly.
6 Such people will not be overcome by evil.
    Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
7 They do not fear bad news;
    they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.
8 They are confident and fearless
    and can face their foes triumphantly.
9 They share freely and give generously to those in need.
    Their good deeds will be remembered forever.
    They will have influence and honor.
10 The wicked will see this and be infuriated.
    They will grind their teeth in anger;
    they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.
