Lost and Found

25 long years of being lost.

Today is my birthday. I used to think that I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I used to tell myself that I don’t know who I want to become in the next few years to come. I remember vividly, how my English professor asked me and left me in awe,- yes until now - about this question which you might have heard a lot of times. She asked - in a mock interview – in preparation for our first job application, “How do you see yourself 10 years from now?”, of course I answered confidently, ( I was 18 years old back then) “I see my self as one of the executives of one the biggest companies in the Philippines. I’d probably have my own family, married to a loving husband blah blah.” Gosh, I can’t believe I said that haha.

We picture life as something ideal and perfect.” Life” could never ever be one perfect world with people like us who are imperfect. We will keep on missing the shot and made a slip. It is just a matter of what we do with that slip and how we move forward

I am not one of the executives of one of the biggest companies in the

Philippines

but one day, our company will be, and one day, I will be one of the biggest names in the country. Too big for a dream eh? No, I believe that dreaming big does not define our confidence or courage. Dreaming big defines a pure heart who wants his life a lot better than the life before. A heart that is full of substance. A heart full of hope…..

I will never say I am lost again. I maybe once, lost., but not anymore. In my heart I know what I want to do, that is, to fulfill God’s mission through me. I want to make every person’s life I meet to be different. I want to bring a difference in everything that I do. I want to leave a notch in every person’s heart. I want to be remembered as someone who brought God once in their lives.

My existence, in these 25 years is not enough to fulfill my dreams, at the time of my death, these dreams might not reach a hundred and one percent fulfilled, but at least, I am confident that I have started to become a victor.

As Andrew Carnegie puts it - The position a person occupies in the world depends on the quantity and quality of the service he render plus the mental attitude which he relates to others.

When everyone would falter, I will conquer.

The best is yet to Come....

Many of us are so impatient with asking the Lord to grant us the dreams we want. Until we become tired of asking that we end up not asking God with what we want.

Yesterday was mother's day and just like a mother who waits for 9 months for her baby to finally say hello and get out of her womb.... a mother who tries not to show an impatient breath of waiting and aches at the back in carrying her child for 9 long months..... Us, on one hand, waits until such a dream comes true... we choose to not to show the pains and labor of waiting or the worse, stop and give up.....

just yesterday, we were on our way home when my niece, asked about a resort in norzagaray bulacan. We were just curious how it looks like or if the place is just right for a weekend get away with the family. We went straight to the resort, not knowing how far it is from marilao. The sun is directly pouring its strength on us that we want to jump outside the car and get some fresh air instead of the aircon. I was listening to the step up 2 soundtrack and finished it and we were still on the road,...

we waited..... we saw several signages telling us to drive some more.. and more... we were really frustrated that we told ourselves that the resort should be some place we picture on our mind... a place with fresh air, a place to dive in for the hot Summer....


we waited...
and waited..
and waited.... it has been 2 hours of driving...

Until, a huge, old church welcomes us at the end of the road.. it was a very solemn place with structures telling us that its older than any of us... looks like it has been there since the Spaniards' times...the joy that God puts in my heart leaps... and I can't say anything but "God, its always worth the long wait..."

If it is not about this resort we were curious about, we could never ever find this church in norzagaray bulacan. I realized, that in life it is always worth to wait for Gods greatest blessings , he will surprise you at the right place, at the right time...

God knows best..


and the best is yet to come.... :p
