Im Coming Back

The title of this blog has 2 meanings.

First is that Im back to blogging my thoughts. I guess I still want to blog just for my own sake since I have a lot in my mind that sometimes I dont get to share to anyone. Im not a lonely type of a person but still there will be thoughts, realizations, dreams, experiences that I would like to share. So after days of weeks of being absent blogging, Im here again!

Second is "I am coming back" is a statement that Jesus said long before. And in the book of Revelations He even said that He is coming SOON! And last Saturday, January 23, I had the opportunity to attend a youth conference where Joel Rosenberg spoke. He is one an American author and also a very faithful servant of the Lord. He has the passion of studying and talking about End Times, the biblical way. Ever wondered when Jesus is coming back? Well I haven't thought of that much until now. I now understand why we need to prepare for His return. The signs that are all stated in the Bible is coming true and definitely we are nearing until Jesus returns. I love how Joel addressed the youth to start living a life that is pleasing and glorifying since this is not a good time fooling around getting buried in deep sin.

Personally, I still stick to my Life goal which is to Glorify God in all I do. I constantly pray for this since it is only through God's power that I can do this. I also live in Jesus' mercy and forgiveness which gives me strength and hope. I want to remain glorifying Him if ever He returns here. You know Jesus will come like the lighting and no one will know except God the Father (read Matthew 24). I want to be ready, laser focus on Him alone. I learned a lot even in the aspect of my love life.

Yes I want to experience a life of marriage. But I learned that I just need to be so into God and His word. I prayed that He would just let my love life "sleep" and that He would just wake it up when I am ready. While waiting for her, I will totally make my life Christ centered. I also pray that my future wife also does the same. I pray that we will glorify God together. First separately but some time later, Together.

It Is Not Always About Academics

In a recent exchange of text messages with my friend, I was brought to another part in my life when I was in my elementary level. I entered a christian school as a grade 2 student and didn't care much about academics. I guess that is natural for kids at that age. I remember the times that I started learning how to type properly and play games using stairs called "A B C." But one thing that I will never forget is the end of 2 nd grade. It is a tradition that awards will be given to academic achievers and be recognized at the end of a school year. I never felt so left out that afternoon when all my friends we being called since they have achieved high grades. I never knew what my grades were that school year and I bet it wasn't low but I felt that I was a dumb kid. I cried running towards my father when I told him that I was not included in the top 10. I think he said something like "try harder next year" ' coz it was instilled in me that I would do a lo...
