"BLESSES 33 MIE"Yay! It’s September 13, this is the day God decided to get me out of this world, what a crazy idea, right? Haha..so this is something to really be thankful for. That day that I was born I became a gift for my lovely parents (I do hope so! Haha) and I feel pretty amazing already by the fact that on my first day on earth I am already a precious gift. Now, I am already 33, I know right? I have been in this earth for quite some time already and still get amazed and surprised by the awesomeness of God. There was one birthday that I had, that I really did not get to celebrate it with the people I love, I cried that night and got an encouragement from a friend that says “It’s ok! you don’t really need to celebrate just on your birthday, celebrate each day.” I will never forget that line. Well, while there’s some truth with it I really feel that it’s special to remember each year the day You came to life and of course continue to do so each day. I am truly blessed! Thank you, Lord, for an EXTRA ORDINARY LIFE you got for me.
Today I celebrate my life not just for me. I celebrate my life with the rest of other lives who have walked with me. I am truly thankful with an amazing life God gave me. It was not always bed of roses, it's a life filled with ups and downs but it was an incredibly exciting and purposeful life, scary sometime (haha). I am so thankful to God for the many lives you have brought into my life, life of different colours, nations, tongues, age, gender and social status. This is what I am celebrating for, a LIFE NOT JUST FOR MY OWN. A life that has been part of many other lives. Thank You for teaching me and giving me a life that doesn’t only exist for it’s own good but for the benefit and good of others, strangers or not. I am no perfect. It’s not always a happy story with each lives I have been with but good or bad it’s a piece of my puzzled life. The mix and blend of happy and sad, ups and downs, good or bad brings spice and colours and I am thankful for all of it. Today I want to encourage you. Whether your celebrating with me or not if you get to read this, I hope you’ll choose to live a life not just for you or the people you love. Stop looking at the mirror too long and have goals that only include “me, myself and I”, It’s not bad to have goals for yourself I do have my own. What I am saying is that it should not always be about you or what you want. I know it’s too cheesy to say that we can all be part of the better world but I believe that if only we can all stop living our life so full of ourselves this world can really be a better place. And since it’s lockdown here in Coron and we can’t get out of our own houses since we had our community transmission of COVID-19 last August (which I pray won’t get worst anymore) I did not get to plan a celebration that can include reaching out for more and blessing others, so I thought “WHY NOT ASK YOU FOR A PRAYER REQUEST”. So, if you are reading this right now and you have a prayer request. Just comment below or send me a private message. I may not reply at all but I’m surely going to take time to read all and pray about it. In this way I can still be part of all of you, get to celebrate with you and bless you as my joy overflows. God bless everyone! (photo: compilation of my mission trips, family, spiritual family) #blessed33mie #LiveNotforYouAlone #lockdownbirthday |
