Looking back, Living today and Moving forward

Hello girls! This blog has been very quiet and silent for five months, I wonder why. Let me guess the reasons why we haven’t been blogging here:

1.      I’m busy with my work and your both busy with your acads. (hehe, sinong niloko natin?!)

2.      We’re busy with God. (Synonym: Pasaway nanaman tayo, at nag-dodobol time na naman si Lord sa atin…hehe)

3.      Floating mode. (In tagalog: lutang in a positive and negative way)

4.      Nakalimutan natin ang spelling ng ISHSHAH (haha, madalas eto dahilan ko!)

5.      Wala lang. Mas masarap mag-kwento ng live over devil’s food cake and bottomless iced tea…with matching guitar and violin background.

Let me share to you some of my thoughts…(di na naman kasi ako makatulog)

Looking back…

Looking back to the first year that we were together, we saw how God enabled us to experience great and mighty things through His Spirit. We were able to see visions, dreams and also receive prophecies and words of wisdom. Every week, there’s a new revelation for us. Most of the time it was interconnected, as if God is weaving a story behind each event.

We were drunk. Filled with the Spirit. Embraced with passion.

Each of us had a share of God’s promise and portion of the land. God revealed to us our future calling and niche. It was overwhelming to know that God would entrust us to do those things in the future.

I know we’re all excited to get there.

Living today…

Where ever you are, be all there. –Jim Elliot

I know it’s hard to see the horizon when the glass starts to mist and blur. God never promised that our journey towards the portion of our land would be easy. We may not see the horizon now, but be sure that it is and will always be there. Just like the song (which according to kuya iking was Ptr. Eniong’s composition);

Because He say so, So I believe…

Remove all doubts, all questions, all fears,

Because He say so, so I believe…

(Sorry ito lang yung part na memorized ko, swak-na-swak kasi sa akin..)

Right now, I know that we’re all experiencing struggles in our lives, it maybe in our acads, ministries, family, work, love life and even our relationship with Him. Take heart because God knows the right weight of the cross that we have to carry…not too light, so that we will not be complacent and not too heavy to break our backs and give up the journey.

I remembered an illustration I read in one of my devotionals, according to the author, God wants us to have a balanced diet. Sometimes He will allow us to eat oreos and milk, ice cream and Cadbury chocolates, He lets us eat to our hearts content. But there will be days that we have to eat vegetables, hard to swallow but important to the body.

Let’s live TODAY.

We should not be stuck with the past and wallow on the things that happened. At the same time, let us not overlook TODAY because our eyes are already in the future.

God gave us promises set for the future. But He also gave us roads, avenues and highways for us to get there. Make sure that your travel towards your promise land will be as important as receiving and claiming the promise.

Moving forward…

Honestly, nobody knows the exact future. Bcel’s ‘future’  can be two years from now…charm’s can be next month or mine can be tomorrow.

It’s indefinite. Only God knows our future and in that knowledge includes the time frame.

We just have to be ready, always alert and alive, never lazy and in slumber. I would like to encourage us to be like the soldiers in red alert.

Let us not give up correcting and rebuking one another because that will keep us in the right road. We are accountable for each other. Our love for each other should go beyond having good times and experiencing heavenly things. We have to learn to love each other, to drag each other in the light when one of us is cradling ugliness and darkness.

I was so blessed with our breakfast last Wednesday. Our stories, our tones, and even how we looked at things really changed. I thank the Lord for that and I’m looking forward for more things to come, in our friendship, in our personal lives and more importantly, in our relationship with our Saviour.

To my two sisters and disciple, I take joy in witnessing your maturity and growth. I love you both. J
