I saw it.

You can’t deny.

I noticed.

You can’t hide.

I got it.

It’s noted.

We ran out of everything.

We ran out of words to tell how we care.

We ran out of random acts to show we love.

We ran out of time to be at each side.

We ran out of reason to hold on.

We ran out of hope so it’s good bye.

But we will never run out of reasons to rant.

James 2:17 💙

From Desert to Dessert

“The Lord your God wins victory after victory and is always with you. He celebrates and sings because of you, and he will refresh your life with his love.” – Zephaniah 3:17 (CEV)

I am so amazed.

My phone rang. It was not because someone is calling but because of the alarm I’ve set last night. This is the day, the long wait is over and I have waited for this day to come. Finally, after a year and a month, I will be holding the pencil to shade my dream.

I am not ready. Being unprepared, I’ve brought my reviewers along with me. What makes it more heavy, are my apprehensions, doubts, and fears that I also carried with me. It was a two-day test, with two subjects per day, and three hours per subject. It was a two-day test, but it feels like forever. Forever waiting. Forever answering. Forever reading. Forever shading. Forever seating. Forever searching. Forever praying. Forever…

It was really tough and while answering I can feel that my brain cells are not enough. I really wanted to cry in front of the answer sheet and test booklet but I can’t, I won’t.

My goal is to pass the exam. My goal is to get that three-letter title and put it after my name. My goal is not to answer those test items again. My goal is not to re-apply. My goal is to make my parents proud. My goal is to honor my God.

I am running out of everything- brain cells, courage, hope, joy, and confidence. I don’t have the strength to go on but I have to remind myself to keep going and keep the faith.

I am praying. I am praying before answering. I am praying during the test. I am praying after passing my paper. I am praying after the exam. And even after the results, I am praying.

I’ve searched for a miracle and I found it. I ask for His grace and God generously poured me. I ask for my name on the list, and He let me. Seven-Nine-Four of Three-Six-Nine-Zero. I saw my name. I close my eyes. And yes, my name was there.

I shout. I cry. I am very grateful. It feels like while walking in the desert, I saw a dessert. I am amazed. I am really blessed. The Lord never fails. In my weakness, He is my strength. In my doubts, He is my hope. In this world of ambiguity, He is the only certain.

I praise the Lord,my God, He never abandoned me. He led me to the place where my trust is without borders. He let me walk upon the water where my feet may fail.

My faith has led me to that place where I took the exam. And I will go back to that place again to get the reward of my faith.

Thank You Lord for bringing me to the desert where I found the best dessert.

You are able. Your love never fails.

My God is a God who wins victory after victory and He is with me.

Sometimes...

Some things are better left unsaid. And some words are better left unspoken. Sometimes it's better to keep tons of letters than to utter a single word. And at times, it's better to stare blankly than to look in the window of your soul.

The people who shine God's light from within don't need the spotlight. 😉

It goes on... (facebook memory)

A lot of things have happened. I may never have the chance to change these but I will always have the time to forget and move on. My journey goes on. People do come and go. Never waste any single moment of your life regretting on how you treasure the people around you because each of them has taught you good lessons in life. In the same way, never waste your time thinking of the people who left you as you travel. What was gone is gone. What’s not meant to be will never be meant to be. Trust God’s indisputable purpose in your life. His plans are better than yours. It is far better than you could ever imagine. Things will never come the way you want it coz it is the Lord who designs everything. When life knocks you down, remember that you are the pot and God is your Potter and you have to trust the Potter’s hands. When you feel broken, unfavored, disappointed, unappreciated, etc., remember that in your weakness, God’s power is made perfect. My friend, the journey goes on… you will never walk alone. God is with you, He will never leave you.

Where Have You Been?

I look around but no one is here. I can’t see anything except for this silhouette of a desolate being. Dimness dominates the place. Where are you?

I exclude myself from that place. I ran away from the falseness of this world. I thought you are keeping your eyes on me. But now, where are you?

I kept on searching. I never stop looking. I am crying in despair. I don’t know what to say apart from the words that I will never be tired of uttering- “where are you?”

I am completely weak. Fragility strikes my whole being. Susceptible as it may seem. I find no hope and courage to go on. I need you. Oh no, where are you?

I am laying down my arms with my knees falling down. I can’t fight for myself, anymore. With white flag raised, I am asking for the light tonight.

Lord, where have you been? Lead me to that place again. And before I close my eyes, I want to hear your still small voice.

Lord, please say “I am here”.

Jeremiah Chapter Seventeen Verse Nine

I’m confused. I pause for a while, then I asked myself again- “Am I?”

Confusion.

It happens when you can’t think clearly and decide plainly.

It usually occurs when you are unsure if you will take this path or the other.

It begins when you are weighing two things that are both important.

Anyway, it is normal, but it’s abnormal to stay and live with it.

Now, I urge you to go.

Go and think wisely.

Go and decide plainly.

Go and weigh things accurately.

Go. I said, go quickly.

I stepped my feet and run.

I am now running away from confusion and deceits.

I am starting to live the life the Lord has told me.

If this is beyond cure, then let it be.

Day 42 Exodus 32:1‐33:23; Matthew 26:69‐27:14; Psalm 33:1‐11; Proverbs 8:33‐36 God in a Box I read a book many years ago (Sorry, can’t remember the name of it...) that talked about how so many of us try to put God…

Embrace the beautiful uncertainty of your season of waiting, knowing that somehow, someday. someway, an answer is on its way (via 3 Things to Remember When You’re in a Season of Waiting)

How do you turn things over to God? Start by making the choice and declaring your resolve. Simply say, “Father, I choose to let You be God of this situation. I take my hands off. I trust You.” Then, choose to worship Him. Worship is one of the best ways to set your heart and mind in the right place. You can’t worry and worship at the same time! Worship is a sign that you are trusting God; worry is a sign that you are trying to control things.
