Intersections of Life

I am sure I am not the only person who passes through Life's intersections. Intersections of Life are those times when you are faced with decisions you know will affect your future. Maybe a university to enroll in, a company to apply in, your career path, your life partner, etc. Your intersections can be subjective depending on the person. Maybe a choice where to eat rice or not is a big thing for oneself but has minimal or no importance to some.

I can say that now, year 2012, I am again facing intersections in Life. I know that my life was already planned out by God even before I was born. Now this is the hard part, It is me begging for wisdom to choose the right path. I am not saying that I am in control of my life. Each decision I make can affect other people's life and I know that in whatever path I choose God will allow me to Glorify Him.
Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his ways, but the Lord establishes his steps."
In my heart I know I need to weigh all the possibilities available. And from that I know what I want to do. What pulls me back is this. How will I do this? Who will help me? Why me?

Allow me to give you a peek in my life's intersection. My dream is to become a pastor. Because of the truths the Bible hold, I really long to make these know to all people. ALL! This is why sometimes I cringe when Biblical truth is minimized and sometimes not made known to people during a preaching. I sigh at the lost opportunities presented for the people to have a better grasp of the Bible. Okay, now I want to become a pastor. This means a lot. I will have to drop my job, go in Bible school (which I know I cannot afford), rely in God how to have money, repel girls I like, give up my worldly dreams. If I do this I also know that I wont live out my fancy dream of having cars, properties, gadgets, etc. but I know that this will give greater glory to God. I somehow think I was made to become a full-time worker of God. Is it now? How will I know if I am fit for the job?

Indeed, I need wisdom. I know that the God yesterday, today and forever deserves my ALL. I have a little favor, would you please pray for me as I try to decide which way to go in my Life's Intersection. Thanks!
I Corinthians 12:6 "and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone."

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?

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.

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...
