Biyaya ng Redirection

-

 Minsan, ang akala nating "hadlang" ay isa palang masusing paggabay. Noong bago ako mag-kolehiyo, isang araw bago ang entrance exam sa aking dream school, hinarangan ako ng takot ng aking mga magulang dahil sa layo ng biyahe. Masakit man noong una, tinanggap ko ito at nagtapos "with flying colors" dito lang sa Quezon City. Doon ko natutunan na ang husay ay hindi nakadepende sa distansya ng paaralan, kundi sa tibay ng iyong determinasyon.

Ngayon, muli akong hinamon ng isang bagong "redirection." Bagaman napatunayan ko ang aking kakayahan at nakapasok sa isa sa mga prestihiyosong Big Schools sa Metro Manila, kailangan ko itong bitawan. Hindi dahil sa kulang ako, kundi dahil mas kailangan ako ng aking anak at ng aking munting pamilya sa pagkakataong ito.


Natutuhan ko na:

• Validated Skills, Noble Choices: Ang pagkakatanggap sa akin sa isang malaking institusyon ay sapat nang patunay na mahusay ako sa aking larangan. Pero ang pagpili sa pamilya ay isang mas mataas na uri ng tagumpay.

• His Better Plan: Kung noong college ay naging maayos ang lahat kahit hindi nasunod ang plano ko, alam kong mas magiging maganda ang kabanatang ito dahil ang Diyos ang may hawak ng panulat.

Presence is the Greatest Lesson: Bilang isang guro, napagtanto ko na ang pinaka-importanteng estudyante na tuturuan ko ay ang sarili kong anak.

Masaya ako. Masaya ako dahil sa bawat "hindi" ng mundo, may mas malaking "oo" ang Panginoon para sa kapakanan ng aking pamilya. Ang bawat redirection ay hindi kawalan, kundi isang paanyaya para sa mas makabuluhang buhay.

Philippians is known as the happiest book in the Bible, yet it was written in prison.

Moral of the story: don’t let your circumstances steal your joy. It's easy to think that joy is dependent on our circumstances. That our happiness is tied to our possessions. But the book of Philippians, widely regarded as the happiest book in the Bible, offers a different perspective. Paul, the author of this book, was locked up, but his heart was free. Even from behind bars, his joy shone bright, proving that real happiness comes not from our circumstances, but from the strength of our faith. So, when life throws us into the pits, remember to look up and find joy in the Lord. As we read Philippians, we see that Paul's joy was rooted in his relationship with God and his purpose in life. He knew that his struggles were part of a greater plan, and he trusted in God's sovereignty. When we allow our joy to be dependent on external circumstances, we give power to those circumstances. But when we anchor our joy in God, we are resilient in the face of life's ups and downs. So...

Loyalty is rare. If you find it, keep it.

  Loyalty. It's a word that carries weight. A bond that is tempered by love. In a world where instant gratification reign supreme, loyalty is a a precious commodity that's becoming increasingly hard to find. But when we do find it, we must guard it with our life. For loyalty is not something to be taken lightly. It is the bedrock upon which holds friendships and families together. Loyalty is the fuel that keeps relationships firing on all cylinders. In a world where people come and go like the wind, those who remain by our side through thick and thin are the ones worth keeping. So, hold on to our loyal ones, for they are worth their weight in gold. Think of loyalty as a compass. In a world where everyone seems to have their own agenda, it's easy to lose sight of who we are and what we stand for. But those who are loyal to us, who stick by our side through good times and bad, are like the North Star, guiding us back to ourself. So, lets us cherish our loyal friends, family, ...

  Thirty and thriving! Grateful to celebrate three decades of my life. Years of trials and triumphs. It’s very nostalgic looking to these photos saved on my favorites 🥹 From the early days of studies to studying motherhood life.

Through life’s highs and lows, I’ve met remarkable individuals who’ve influenced my path. Today, I celebrate not just my birthday, but the incredible journey that has led me here. Thank you, dear Lord, for every lesson and every blessing. Here’s to embracing the next chapter. Ngayong trentahin na, every gising is a blessing. Biggest flex na yung healthy palagi.
