I don't know what the title of this blog will be.. . so i'll just leave it like that.. .

A friend once said that if you have a goal, all of your decisions must be inclined to that goal.. . but she said, that's just her own opinion.. . And I came to realize that she has a point indeed.. . If you want to be like this, why be like that, right?

I'm turning 23 in a matter of days.. . and when I was younger, it's easy to say that I want to be like this, I want to have this and that.. . but when you're this old, it seems like it's not that easy at all.. . Yes, I have my own dreams.. . I have my own desires but I need to make wise decisions as well.. . I need wisdom.. . and after that, I need to do my part and take that step of faith towards my dream.. . but it's hard.. .if you don't know God, who can you turn to? whew.. .

Good thing we can always trust Him and His Words.. . He said, For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.. .to give you hope and a better future.. .But there are times when the path is very cloudy and you can't see the road ahead.. . You just don't know if you're stuck up or you're still moving forward.. . things seem hard like you're lost and you don't know where to go.. . even the simplest thing that you can do --pray-- seems so hard.. . and all you can hold on to is His Grace --enabling you to endure one more day waiting for Him.. .His grace carrying you towards His very presence.. . His grace that keeps you going.. .

Yes, we can pray for God to grant us the desires of our hearts.. . but we need to take steps of faith as well.. .and sometimes that's what makes it hard.. . because we might take the wrong step.. .but all things work together for good.. . right?

It's hard to run your life alone.. . lest you'll end up nowhere.. . and sometimes we're just so worried about the future we don't know what's gonna happen next.. . Good thing He invented TRUST.. . In this journey, all we need to do is TRUST HIM -- He knows what's best for us! and He will give us the best! It's sometimes hard but what makes it harder is if we continue to mind those obstacles when we can always relax and trust Him ^^

Lord, I pray that You fill me with Your Spirit so that the eyes of my heart may be opened that I may know the hope of my calling.. .the riches of Your glorious inheritance.. .and the great power that comes from You.. that I may know You more.. .that I may know how wide, how high, how deep, how long Your love for me is.. .I also pray that You grant me wisdom, knowledge and spiritual understanding that I may obey you practically and that I may be strengthened to endure with patience.. . Make known to me Your plans.. .that I may walk towards it.. . bless the desires of my heart and lead me to do Your will.. . In Jesus' Name. Amen.
