PRECIOUS LESSONS LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME

Having been employed for almost 7 long years was God’s gift to me. Although it didn’t have a fairy tale ending, it was something I had to be thankful of to the Lord. It was in that long years when I was taught how to be tough enough to face all challenges life may have to offer. At first, I was a cry baby but later on I was able to acquire more courage.

It was indeed a roller coaster journey being with them. I was able to explore some places in Luzon because of it. Somehow, they have fulfilled my childhood dream. More importantly I grow as a person I am now. I learned a lot through them: almost all the facets in life, its harsh realities and many others. More than the material things I acquired it’s the lessons I have learned to which I would cherish the most.

1.       Know yourself best.  There’s a saying that goes: you don’t have to explain yourself to others, your (real) friends don’t need it, and your enemies don’t listen to it.

I was only supposed to cut the ties but not to burn bridges; however I did both, though not intentionally. It’s quite disgusting, knowing that all the years of hard work will just go to waste. Well, I must admit partly it was my fault. I allow myself to be carried away at the thought of leaving soon that I was not able to think of the consequences. It hurts when you are judged by people who just know the story but not what you been through. They judge as if they have been in your shoes even only for a single moment. But that's the reality of life.  Good thing, I know myself better than they are, thus, no matter how dirty the mud they l threw right at my face, I can still walk heads high.

2.       Do not be afraid to face your problem. Running away from a problem doesn't solve it, it might only worsen it.

After leaving, or even before I did, the thought of not going back there despite some unfinished business occupied my mind. I had made a wrong decision that soon messed things up. But then God made away, for me to clear things up. Thankfully, I was able to do it!

. Be a warrior not a worrier .Keep your faith!  No matter how hard things seemed, don’t forget              that He is just a prayer away.

Several times, nasty thoughts had been bugging in my mind. I keep telling myself that I cannot do it! And that there’s no way out of it other than to end the most precious gift He has given to me. But He is really a good God. He made me realize how stupid it was thinking of such foolishness. He drives me closer to Him and made me feel that I am in good hands no matter how big my problem is.

In our daily life, hardships can't be avoided. It's what makes this journey worth living. We just have to remember that God will not give us load we can not carry. We might be misjudge by some people or even by the whole, it won't affect us if we truly know ourselves.

Trials may hurdle your journey, at times it may seem a cross on your shoulder,just bear this in mind: problems are created to draw us closer to God. It His way of telling that He misses us so dearly. Therefore, when you are in trouble, ask this to yourself: when was the last time I talk to God? It may seemed as if God's not listening to you, but NO! Let Him work in His time, because He is preparing something much better than what you ask.

God Bless.
