Because of His Grace

It's been five months since I lost my last job, technically.  But looking back...five months ago...up to now...even just last weekend...I am so amazed as to how I am able to survive. No, I don't like the word 'survive' alone.  I am in awe with how I am living, loving, serving, smiling, and all happy action words I could think of. Only by His grace.  I would like to focus more on the blessings---His non-stop call for me to serve. From Princess' Diaries to Princess' Diaries; travelling here and there...even outside the country.  Indeed His providence is never lacking, more so, ever fulfilling. The promotion for the recently concluded victorious MEC sustained me to stay positive and be reminded that I should be the first one convinced of the message we are conveying.  It wasn't easy...waking up realizing you have bills to pay...but find yourself submitting CVs instead.  My thoughts are running crazy now. Define coherent. Define cohesive. Hahaha!

I can go on and line up how the Lord continuously calls me to come to His side, from talks to missions, from conference service teams to workshop speaking.  Not to mention the people I gt to meet along the way who really proves they mirror God in their lives.  For the renewed friendships, for the hearts that continues on its way to healing...

As I was writing this blog, I cam across Kuya Kirby's article. And it struck me. Kaya pala. There's a line that says, But the Lord wants us to live a blessed life, more so to live in abundance. Contrary to the world, true abundance is in knowing Him, following Him, and in serving Him.

That's why I feel abundance in my life.  Only by His grace; He steers my thoughts to focus on the abundance.  Kaya nga you may not have everything but you will never feel lacking if you have the Lord.

Lord, I know I have 'Doubting Thomas' moments' pa rin po.  Please continue holding my hand.  Stir my heart into clinging to You more as you steer my mind into focusing on what is essential. And please don't stop calling me to serve.    

Heart and mind, steady lang ha.  Basta. Kapit pa. 

Oh, I will live for You; every moment of the day, to You I pray

Oh, I will worship You; every part of me, I will surrender to You

And I'll do it all, by Your grace...
