Lessons on waiting

Been wanting to write something for quite sometime now, pero I can't find it in me yet to do it.. masakit pa rin yata. Thank God for an awesome friend who sent  a throwback email today. It was something that I sent way back 2011, and I am sharing this now because this is one lesson that I am having a really hard time with.  Why wasn't I warned that growing up is like this? :) Life's Most Difficult Lesson Learning to Confidently Wait for the Lord By Charles F. Stanley Lessons are an ongoing part of life. Although an academic education comes to an end, we never cease learning vital spiritual lessons. The truths that God teaches us are invaluable and practical because they affect our character development, choices, and lifestyle. Their influence reaches beyond our earthly lifetimes all the way into eternity. One of the most difficult faith lessons we will ever learn is to wait upon the Lord. Maybe you are facing a critical decision and don’t know which way to go...

Pasko Paksiw Pasko Paksiw

Magpapasko na naman. Kung iisipin objectively, without any religious biases, isang routine lang naman talaga ito. Paulit-ulit na nangyayari at paulit ulit na ginagawa; panahon ito ng mga bonuses at isang avenue para sa media at businesses para kumita ng malaking pera dahil soceity calls for everyone to give--peer pressure kumbaga. Nakakahiya naman kasing hindi magbigay kapag binigyan ka ng isang over zealous  Christmas filled officemate or friend ng regalo.  Give LOVE daw on Christmas day, pero most of the time hindi naman LOVE ang inaanticipate natin, mas inaanticipate pa usually ang gifts. Kaya nga maraming perang umiikot sa panahong ito. In my case, isa lamang akong consumer, nagaantay ng bonus at nagiisip ng mga bagay na pagkakagastusan. Routine. Ganito ako palagi. Kasama din sa routine ko tuwing pasko ang iba ibang reaksyon ko towards it. May mga kapaskuhan na apathetic lang ako, yung tipong "ok pasko na naman, ano na nga ulit ang iluluto ko, sinu sino na nga ...

DORK, PROFESSIONAL DOG WALKER/ PET SITTER & DISHWASHER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Image
  Left my engineering job to be an official dork, professional dog walker/ pet sitter and dishwasher extraordinaire. My first day was today and it went ok naman: Fed the dogs, exercised, ate a lot of fruits, got my nails done, bumped into a friend, went to the market to buy dog food, went home, fed my dogs and walked them around the neighborhood. An official  dork  because I'm back into books (text books) and its quite nice that I find it really enjoyable to do so. I now have more perspective and imagination with regards to technical writings such as this one.  Am also trying to do a schedule for the lag time that I am currently in now; I'm finding it hard to live life without checklists and schedules I don't like the feeling of being unproductive. So, doing the list and schedules to make productive use out of my time. Professional dog walker/ pet sitter . I am unselfishly giving myself at the expense of these creatures because they need a lot...

Mercury drug store has been benefiting from my VENTOLIN rota cup nebules for the last 20 days. My dear old frienemy—asthma has been keeping me up at night, sucking up my energy at work and it has been draining my wallet too. Because of my frienemy’s visit, I have to rely on my inhaler as my second source of life.  I’ve concocted theories like stress, dust allergies at work, food allergies, fumes from travelling too much, change of weather etc. as to why my dear old friend decided to visit me; but I might have been evading the root cause of it all. I am not the number one fan of house chores especially laundry and cleaning my room… but the thought that the cleanness of it might have been the reason why I have been having these attacks lately has been running around my mind. So, I’ve decided to gather up all the courage to face my room. Due to my busy schedule (waking up at: 5am-6am; prepare and travel for work: 6am -7am; work hours 7am- 4pm ++ or 6pm without OT pay… huhu...

Having alot of confusing thoughts about work lately and alot of not right thoughts as well... My work ethics and enthusiam in the office has been in a constant decline since when I could not remember. These things I know are 30% external and 70% internal; the reason being is mainly because I haven't been spending the right amount of time with God lately. Reading the only book that can enlighten the heart, revive the soul, give roses and sweet kisses to a despairing heart has been done in super less frequent times. This moment is a beautiful reminder and a great rebuke about the things I am missing because of the things that I have been doing but shouldn't or those that I should have been doing but doesn't... Psalm19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. bus rides are my thinking time... Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4
