Going back to the basic

I’m still speechless and in awe of the things that happened yesterday. It was a great, solemn, and a meaningful day for me. It was my birthday! Thanks to everyone who greeted and prayed for me, thanks to a surprise party that was given to me by my friends (it was so intimate and definitely a memorable one) Thank you God for my family and friends… Thank you God for everything… All the glory is yours…

I’m just turned 26.. and for the past 25 years, there are so many things that I’m just thankful for… for the past 5 years, I’ve had my biggest ups and downs…  and for the past year, I’ve done so many decisions that are definitely became my turning points.

There are so many things that are running through my mind as I wrote this blog. Things that I am thankful for as I’ve said earlier but surely there are no regrets about the decisions that I’ve been making lately. For the past two years of struggles, hardships, and pains that I’ve been through well I really thank God for those, the countless situations that made feel down. I wouldn’t be a better person today (and still learning to be) if I haven’t gone through with those things. Truly experience is the best teacher.

As I continue to make decisions on how I run my life right now, some people would always think differently, as others would say we can’t please everybody. But as I move on, as I make decisions, I would always go back and ask on what does God really wants me to do… on where would He want me to be… some might disagree about it… some who would support it… but the most important thing is… I live to please God… I live to follow His call.

That’s when I finally realized that I need to go back to the basics… remembering the turning point of me accepting God… remembering on who I was before being a leader… remembering the passion that was given to me before I serve Him.

Change is unevitable, and the things that I’m really doing right now is part of me changing and moving forward to goal that God has set for me… reaching to it… pressing on… and focusing on it…

Moving on to a new chapter, I really thank God for blessing me with new opportunities… another chance of serving Him using the gifts, passion, and desire that He had given me… new reasons to serve Him and stand before Him… new places to go the distance of being a witness… a fresh start that would definitely keep and ignite the true passion within.

Going back is not an easy things… but if its the best way to move forward… to see the bigger perspective of living a life on a purpose… to continually serve Him without compromising… that’s what I’m gonna do… 

Going back doesn’t mean you have lived your life to the fullest… but rather, going back is the time when you look forward for more adventures… for more lessons… for a much new and deeper perspective… for a new beginnings.. 

It’s like a runner on a track, that goes on a strict training, on where he doesn’t have to go anywhere but on the starting line and continue to be trained aiming for the goal that was set for Him, and as he runs over and over again, new things are revealed to him and he will become more stronger, faster, and better athlete.

Now, for the 26th year of my life, I am more excited for new things that God will reveal to me… as I always say… greater things are yet to come… and there are greater things that needs to be done to advance His kingdom.

Next year 27th na… LOL!

God bless you all!
