Thirthy years after I was looking back to what I have become and to what I have achieved, I did not do too bad at all. Nagtapos ako ng aking edukasyon sa isang maayus na paaralan. Nagtaguyod ng pamilya at eventually nag asawa at bumuo ng sariling pamilya.
Sa kasalukuyan ay naninirahan sa Ingatera. Hindi ko pinangarap na mangibang bansa, hindi ko inisip na sa dayuhan bansa ako maglalagak ng aking mga oras at lakas. But one thing is certain that God plans something for your life and most of the time it is not part of your plans. Minsan tama ang sinasabi ng marami at ng Bibliya, mas maganda ang plano ng Diyos para sayo magtiwala ka lang.
In this premises that I want to highlight the goodness of the Lord. Life is not smooth sailing. There are always challenges in life. Hindi madaling mangarap lalo na kung alam mong imposibleng tupadin. When I was 8 year old It was a wishful thinking to even think I could step my foot in secondary education. It is beyond posible to even think of finishing it. And to finish my degree, It was a miracle. But yes, there is miracle in God's goodness. I just have to trust Him so I did.
God says in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight". Lean not on your own understanding and he will straighten your path. Maraming beses palagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko na magaling ako. That I know everything and that I don't need to be reminded of what God has to say. I am a fool for along time and half a time I am still am. But what is good about God is, He will be there whenever you ready to welcome him again to your life. Hindi ka nya pababayaan. There are many times in my life that I neglected his presence. Hindi ko minsan naaalala na nandyan sya. Things will go by and yet he will send people to remind me of his presence. Maraming nagsasabi na susubukin ka ng Panginoon para paalalahanan ka pero sa totoo lang minsan hindi sya ganun, minsan kapag alam na nya na kailangan mo sya, magpapadala agad sya ng kailangan mo. Our Lord is like our fahers and mothers whose somehow have mental telephathy. they sense when we need them and all of a sudden nandyan na sila. The Lord is the same. He is there, he knows us and he answers our prayers before we even utter it.
So I would like you to join me to thank the Lord in for all the blessings he had given to us.
Thank you Lord for the countless blessings. Thank you for being there for us all the time even we sometimes forget about you. We pray that you continue to bless us with your grace. Allow us to always be reminded that you are there and you love us. Open our heart to the prompting of the Holy Spirit for us to be able to know your desires for us. We asked this in Jesus name. Amen.
