Well, time flies so fast. This applies to
whom they've indulged themselves to do many things. Tracking back after a year
that had passed, I've maximized myself on what are the other things that I can
probably possible to do, letting my frustrations to be vanished for a while as
I do the basics of getting it done, and reverting to some life lessons which
had given me insights in the past but contemplating it on a whole new different
perspective than how I understood it back then.
Life, as I pondered it has made me realized that it will never
falter to educate us. Our God, on the other hand, in His orchestration makes
things worked out for our benefit so that we may fully grasp and totally
experience the truth of His word and the reality of His existence.
And that can only happen through experience. As we enter certain
situations in life, this gives us the opportunity, whatever approach it may
come to us, to grow, understand, and to open the eyes of our ignorance. Going
it on a more profound level, it gives us the chance and the ability to confirm,
conform and apply the things we knew in our lives.
I thank God for His incomparable faithfulness in my life as He has let
me passed through those things that I've gone through. Those moments where I
became happy and sad, disappointed and satisfied, bittersweet moments where I
had to face the consequences of my failures and mistakes and the blessings that
I've received as I follow and served Him faithfully, enjoyed life in its
fullest in my former years and became contented in life as I and my family
understand the reality of how hard it is to live with insufficiencies, the
times of suffering and refreshing. Placed me also to the people who really
cared about me and to those who just want to utilize me which made my integrity
and character put into practice towards them.
Discussing the details comprehensively might make you tedious but what
my point is let God be glorified by those moments treasuring it as a precious
jewel in my life. Besides, I don't want it to be dramatic. Ahe. :)
Anyways. Going back.
These things became the catalyst. The people that God has also connected
to me have contributed to the strengthening of my views in life. Giving my
credits first to my parents, and to all the people who knew me that loved,
rebuked, disciplined, corrected, helped, supported, trusted, believed and
inspired me in one ways or another. This paragraph will probably not end if
I'll name you one by one.
Those reasons that I've stated earlier has enabled me to discover
certain truths that became firmly established, as I confirm it through the Word
of God, conform it to my mind, and apply it in my life. It gained me such
wisdom that's God-guided. And those experiences really harnessed me like a gold
that passes on a furnace, purifying its imperfections that it may exhibit its
full radiance and have its own preferred value. And God has impressed me that I
am more worth than gold. And my life can bring more impact figuratively than a
gold bar can do materially as I give my life to others.
And so I learned that as I grow in life, I should never forget what God,
through those experiences, have taught me. For it will guide me in what
direction I should have to take in my life and walk upon the destined purpose
that He has prepared for me. Those lessons I've learned cannot be exchanged for
anything.
Relating it in our daily lives, we should never forget the pains and the
sufferings that you and I have endured in life. Never forget that crucial
moment it came to your senses that you should ponder a particular thing you've
learned seriously as if it slapped your face to awaken yourself. Those small
yet important moments of enlightenment that propelled you to widen your views
in life. For this will not only remind you, it will urge you acting as a
driving force to do what's necessary, right and just. Considering it also when
you think you have to quit and give up, and as you attain to live without
regrets.
Above all our pursuits in life, we must
take it on ourselves that it must significantly lived to glorify God. And it's
not complicated as it seems. Such reason brought me to share what I learned in my nineteen years of existence. Live simply. Honor God and His word. Acquire
wisdom. Be open to correction. Apply what's best. Do it best. Remain humble.
Give all the glory to God. Give much. Push your limits. Do great exploits,
Serve others exceptionally well. Invest in relationships. Don't stop planting.
Balance everything. Enjoy life with God.
I assure you, no circumstances, trials, nor the enemy, can steal
the things God has sealed for us and even the things we learned. Just apply it
always.
And in my case, being a fifth-of-a-century-old person now, I'll take
those things seriously than how I took it before.
Dates are observed. Years are remembered. Yet these are worth more
celebrating when we know that what we have learned in life gives us rewarding
benefits. And we know that we are getting nearer and nearer in the place where
God wants us to be as we grow in years.
This is what God has imparted in me as I've celebrated my birthday
simply. I told myself, "birthday
ko na pala, di ko na namalayan." Ahe.
As God adds years in my life, I know he will add extravagant life in
this another year that God has given to me. :D

I will
expect and demand on what God has promised in my life.
Panibagong
taon ulit, Lord. Samahan mo ko ulit.
Salamat Kuya Rean, at kela Mamang Kox at Madam Pearl.
Your financial seed helped me a lot, and made my birthday to be remembered even though I myself didn't took my day too special.
