Just Random Thoughts
Yesterday was a nice day for me. I went to the leadership training at about 3 pm. It was especially nice since I had the opportunity to teach the Young Women leaders regarding how they could develop a personal realtionship with Jesus Christ. I got teary-eyed in the middle of the lesson, embarrasing as it is.. hehe.. but I think I was able to send the message.. nice, nice..
I stayed for a while after the leadership as I waited for Kuya "Manong" Ariel and the others. Irene felt really sick, so I brought her all the way to Pateros. Then someone texted me, I wouldn't dare mention the name, and invited me over to Megamall. I had a great time, honest.
Tonight, I feel especially grateful to our Father in Heaven. I've realized that as long as I remain obedient and faithful, I will be blessed. I have also come to understand that as long as I share my blessings with others, Heavenly Father will take care of me, my family, and the people close to my heart. So to everyone reading this, don't forget to share your blessings.
Today, I taught the young women the value of having an eternal perspective. Perspective, being the ability to see things in their true relationship, becomes eternal in nature as we gain knowledge of the truth. Pang-long-term, kung baga. Knowing that something awaits me after this life has helped me face my daily challenges in life. As I feel inspired to write, I'd like to say that having an eternal perspective has helped me have a brighter disposition. Nowadays, I find myself smiling more often, helping more people than I usually do, been very kind to my cousins for several consecutive weeks (though I don't know how long it will last), been more optimistic than usual and rendering more wholehearted service. I thank everyone, especially my Church leaders, my mentors, who have been a good example to me, and to those who have served as my inspiration. Elder LeGrand Richards said: "God bless you to realize where you came from and the great priveleges that are yours. If the veil were rolled back and you could just see one glimpse of God's great eternal plan concerning you and who you are, it would not be hard for you to love Him, keep His commandments, and live to be worthy of every blessing that He has had for you since before the foundations of the world were laid".
On a lighter note, no classes, este, work pala tomorrow! Hehe.. While the whole nation is celebrating Independence day, I am also having my own little celebration - my version of Independence day. It's my first holiday as a working girl, hehe.. I am officially "independent". Can't ask money from my parents anymore and so I've learned to value every cent much more than I did when I was studying, when my parents provided me with daily allowance, which is more than enough for me. Independence day for me means a celebration, 'coz for one thing, I do not ask for baon from my parents anymore and another thing, I have learned the value of sacrifice, and every single day that I spend as an employee, I've grown to love my parents more and more. Nyahaha.. cheesy ba?
Oh, well.. tomorrow I'll be spending the whole day with the youth, helping them with their genealogy (family history) research. Tata! :)
