Mid-Year 2017



Can you believe that the first half of 2017 was already finished! Time really flies so fast. Our church had their regular Mid-Year prayer and fasting. It was also a great opportunity to pause, reflect and thank God for all the blessings and learnings…

Lessons Learned so far in 2017?

1st half of 2017 is the season of adjustment and reflections for me. Jumping from singlehood to being married was a big leap of faith. Well, there is a big difference between living your life without anyone to consider and having a shared life with someone else. Don’t take me wrong, I am not complaining. I am very very very happy and contented with this new phase of my life, what I am trying to say is that I am a working-in-progress. My character, my maturity, my views in life - these are the things I need to improve. These are the things God wants me to reflect with.

Highlights and answered prayers?

God grant me to have the contentment in life. For the past years, it was always been part of my prayer list. (1) Contentment in my workplace – God gave me a workplace that will enhance my skills, with work life balance and with integrity. (2) Contentment in my married life – I cannot ask for more. God blessed me with so caring and understanding husband who helps me in every way. He also helps me to strengthen my character. Although, there are things we need to improve as husband and wife at least every day we are one step forward. I am also thankful with God that he gave us opportunity to visit different places. For six months of our relationship we visited three provinces. I am praying for our first out of the country trip.

You, you might also list highlights, answered prayers, and lesson learned so far in 2017. Don’t forget to thank God for His faithfulness, provision, and grace in your life.

Accounting with Excellence

Image
"Find(ing) your passion in the job you have.." - Atom  To be honest I never dream to be an accountant. BSA was never in my vocabulary. In fact, I just learned that Accounting exist when I was about to enroll college. Accounting was never been part of my college choices. If you know me well, you probably knew what was the story behind and how I ended up enrolling in BSA. In short, dito lang talaga ako napadpad. Literal! But eventually, when I realized na I don’t have any choice. Naka graduate na ko, pumasa and all, I learned to accept that I am an accountant. But since being an accountant is stressful, I ended up job hopping. I applied in different companies and hoping to find “the one”. But at the end of the day I am still not contented. Until one day I realized that the issue here is not who I work with. The issue here is what I think. And how I am ungrateful with life. Now, I change my perspective. I learned to be contented and to be thankful when it comes to my ...

Surviving Sagada. Wiw!

Image
When I got married, one of my top places to visit in the Philippines is Sagada (together with El Nido, Bicol, Hundred Islands, Cagayan Valley and Coron) Way back 2009, our church had a Mission Camp at Mt. Praise Assemblies of God in Sagada, which is also affiliated in our church in Manila. We had our bible study, prayer meeting, visitations and others. Oh I must admit I missed those sometimes. Although we had our rest and recreation time, we never had the chance to try the cave connection. When we went in the mouth of the cave, it rained. They make me believe that even in the littlest rain, it is unsafe to enter in the cave. (but later I found out that this is not true) Haha. So from there on I long to try the cave connection. My longing was revived when we saw the movie “That Thing called Tadhana” when the main setting was in Baguio and in Sagada. But I never had a chance to go back to Sagada until I had my official travel buddy! Haha.  Back then, my parents won’t allow me t...

risk?

Taking every risk. Leaving everyone behind. Or the dreams to be forgotten. All the plans that were set aside. Everything was done for you. But as the saying says “the higher the risk the greater the reward or the punishment” but I know in my heart whatever will it be I know what reward will  I gain in the near future so all I can say is ALL THE RISKS ARE WORTH IT 'coz you are worth fighting for.
