\u201cThe Lord will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; he will counsel you and watch over you.\u201d (Psalm 32:8)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every day is a day of making decisions.\u00a0 It may be as simple as choosing the color of your dress, or it may be as complicated as choosing your career or a school in college.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a nurse. But one day when I rode a bicycle and I bumped into a tree, as I saw blood on my arms and my knees, I didn\u2019t like to become a nurse anymore. Because I realized I was afraid of blood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I was in the elementary I started bullying my classmates. They always said that I was boyish and I adopted my father\u2019s characteristics of bullying his classmates when he was still young. Then, I was informed that my uncle was a security guard and my grandfather was a former soldier. So I said I also wanted to become a soldier. I wanted to study at Philippine Military Academy and I wanted to learn how to use a gun so I could shoot all my enemies. \u201cAstig !\u201d as I preferrd to call it. But then I have asthma, my lolo told me that I can never enter PMA with my condition. I was discouraged but still, I kept on dreaming for my future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I reached high school, I began to think more maturely. I dreamed of becoming\u00a0 an accountant so I could have a lot of money to help the poor people. I told myself, I will work hard for my family and for the people who needed help. My teachers always said, \u201cMag teacher ka nalang neng, mas kailangan ka ng mga bata.\u201d And I kept on answering \u201cAyoko po. Sa ugali kong ito, baka makasakit lang ako ng makukulit na bata at baka mas mahal pa yung ibayad ko kaysa sa sahod ko\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I was in second year and I was involved in different church activities, my dream slowly began to change. I was a Sunday school teacher, a devotion leader, sometimes a preacher, I became UMYF President and church helper. I loved everything I was doing for the Lord\u2019s Ministry. And I got confused also. I couldn\u2019t decide which college course to take up. But I trusted God and he led me here. I am so blessed for being here. A lot of changes have happened in me because of Harris. I learned to value simple things, know my priorities, be humble, and, especially, to let God manifest in my life and let him use me in his ministry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now that I am still suffering from a great pain because of the death of my father recently, I still trust him whatever and wherever he leads me. For I know, he will instruct and guide me. There are trials that keep on challenging me and trying to put me down. But I keep on holding on to God\u2019s hands, for I know he will never leave me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My point is to let you know that God will never leave you. He is always ready to help because he is always watching over you. \u00a0TO GOD BE THE GLORY !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
