Success..Success..Success

Joshua 1:8
Hebrews 6:12

Nowadays, success is the measure of your whole being. People measure how successful you are and draw a conclusion of who and what you are.

"Success is a journey, not destination; the doing is often more important than the outcome" (Arthur Ashe)

This teaches us the virtue of faith and patience. Faith is believing, but patience is the decision to keep on believing until those promises are realized.

And the understanding of value of time is necessary. Success happens overnight.

Luke 10: 25-36
Amos 5

1. Grace sees
2. Grace crosses the road
3. Grace brings life
4. Grace gives
5. Grace abounds

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6)

Again, I was reminded the good works that He's doing and still not yet done. My heart right now is filled with thanksgiving and praises, from the opportunity to study to scholarship to part time work. I am not the brightest and smartest person, people always say that but for me without Him I cannot do anything. I am blessed and favored!

On my 5th year here, I'd like to do something responsible.  I was travelling a lot. I mean a lot. I was my goal last year and now I fulfilled it. I will travel less and save more. Thinking of business and house, I think I need to think of that right now.

I didnt regret anything from my past. Everything has its own time. And now its the time to be fulfill His good work within me.

One step higher

3 January 2014

I lost my job last November 2013. Mixed emotions, happy and sad. Happy because finally I got out on that kind of job and sad because that's the only job I know for 4 years. And now I am a full-time student which is I really cant imagine that I am doing for the rest of my life. I am a multi tasker. I can juggle things on my hand and having only one thing makes me insane. I can get a job, right away! The job that I mastered for longest time, no need to talk and think but this is not who I am!

My challenge for myself this month, I will find a job. It doesnt matter if I dont earn as much what I had before but something I will proud of and something that I will gain experience and knowledge. If I can't then I will go home to the Philippines and start my life again. But this time, I can say there's dignity on what I am doing.

Apettite

 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness. (1 Peter 2:2,3)

As the year starts, listing my wants and new year's resolution (okay, i dont have), it is now the time to dig my shoes on the ground. I came across this lyrics and it perfect! This will be my prayer:

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior" (OCEAN, Hilsong) 


POINTS TO PONDER:
 
The last two days of my Morocco vacation, I got diarrhea. I barely ate nothing, only water. I felt so weak and hopeless so I decided to go home in Copenhagen. I lost my apeettite on foods but forced myself to eat else I something worse will happen. Everyday, don't loose apettite in His word. We might not realized that we become malnourished spiritual and feel exhausted and tired everyday. This is our bread and wine. Like baby, crave milk, cry for noursihment.

On my side trip in Volubolis and Meknes in Morocco, I met these two superb people that left words of wisdom while having conversation. Jessica, a Costa Rican girl who is woking in Istanbul as a teacher. As she says, "I want to be happy with or without money." And our Moroccan driver, it was raining and we were all wet and cold and he said "Rain is good. It is good for everybody for the plants, animals and people. If it is good for yourself only, then it is not good. If its good for everybody then it is good"

Also, while I am on travel I am thinking how to have a legacy then someone told me that the greatest legacy that you could have is to raise up a child that will be beneficial to the society. Point! Now, I am praying for my legacy! :)

First day of 2014

1 January 2014

The best way that I can express my thoughts are through writings. I am not the best writer, blogger or novelist but everybody can write so I will relive again my blog and write every day to spit out what’s between my ears.

I realized that this is my 5^th years celebrating Christmas and New Year away from my family and friends. And I got tired of it. I am on the 10^th day of Morocco travel and spent Christmas by sleeping early and I am supposed to spend the New Year in Milan, Italy but I decided to go to Copenhagen and spend it with my second family here. I promised myself that this will be my last Christmas out in the street and spend it well with my family. I’ll go home this Christmas and New Year with side trip in Japan.

As I’m seeking God’s message for me this year, I encountered this verse and I am familiar with this.

For I am about to do something new.
    See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
    I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. (Isaiah 43:19)

I know I got this message before and why I am getting this one again. I don’t know. But for now, I’m keeping this one.

And while I am having my devotion time, one thing that came out, I prayed: “Let me dream Your dreams. A dream that comes from you not from my desire. ” Maybe I realized that I am always dreaming for myself not asking is this the dream of God for me still. 

1.       To get work ASAP!

2.       Pass with flying colors

3.       Start processing my PR

4.       Start my helping others project

5.       Vacation to PH side trip in Japan

For now, this is all I know.

 My ultimate goal this year, fill this alkansya for my vacation. Amen! :)
