Not My Will But Yours Be Done

When Jesus spoke these things He gave us an example that even we have "better" plans for ourselves, the Father's plan is alway the best for us. I have my short term and long term goals in my life.

In five years:
I will go San Francisco, stay with my uncle and auntie, work, live, enjoy singlehood.
I will save money for my future. For a business and a property.
I will travel the beautiful country that God made me a citizen of.
I will start studying again. Maybe a masters degree in business or take architecture.
I will live on my own. In my dream bachelor's pad.

In ten years:
I will be married to a wonderful lady.
I will probably earn enough or more to sustain my family.
I will continue my studies.
I will play with my young kids.
I will design our own house.
I will never stop loving my God.

I start to look at these goals and I think that: I can do this! But I will never forget from the lessons that God taught me, so far, that His will will remain. He is our God, the most powerful, He has seen the beginning and the end. I'm sure He already planned the best for my life to glorify Him back.

I list these "plans" and one day I will look back and see that what I have is different from what I've listed. But regardless of what will happen as long as I follow Jesus and His words, I will be in the safest and most secure place. I surrender my life to you, oh God. Use my life to glorify you alone.

Adding New Faith Goals for 2012

The year 2011 is over and I think this is a year that passed so quickly. But why? It is really this fast when you are a member of the working society? Because it went by so fast I wasn't able to keep all the faith goals that I set for 2011. But again by faith I'd like to keep that list and add some more. :) +1. By Faith, I'd like to tithe more that the expected 10% of my earnings/salary every Sunday and learn to bless others. +2. By Faith, I would like to bond more often and mentor the boys (disciples) entrusted to me. +3. By Faith, I can read the whole Bible in a year. (time to get me a new Bible reading plan. :p) +4. By Faith, I will work out, exercise and get into other sports. (I pray for strength, Lord) +5. By Faith, I will memorize the name of the people I meet and successfully match them with their faces. Hahaha +6. By Faith, I will widen my vocabulary and improve my grammar. :( +7. By Faith, I will read more than 10 books in 2012. :) I Pray that God will help me r

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
