There Is Always The Way Out

  • His ways are higher…

    The Word of God became very interesting to me when I met authentic followers of God who truly practice and are living their faith.

    Kailangan mangyare sa yo yun, I mean to experience someone with real holiness. My late mentor was. Tsaka I met this nun when I was sent to study more of theo-psycho integration and she delivered her explanation with amazing testimonies na kita mo sa kanya convictions nya. Kaya naisipan kong lumipat ng convent eh.

    I believe then na mas bagay ako with The Cenacle Sisters. Hinde nangyare so here I am blogging. Ganyan kagaling ang Diyos. Hinde Sya nauubusan ng alternative to be glorified.

    Darkness kasi will try and will do everything to stop your growth in holiness. Kaya napakahalagang discerning ka.

    Eto na.

    When I would sit in a classroom to teach, meron akong spiritual goal foremost – I want all my students be saved.

    So tulad ng isang matalinong ina na nagpapakain ng gulay sa anak nyang hate ang gulay by integrating it na hinde buking like, blended carrots in spaghetti, minced mushrooms inside embutido at marami pang ways.

    If you pray before you teach your children or students, magugulat ka how creative The Holy Spirit is.

    Bakit very valuable ang spirituality?

    Una, it forms and solidify a person’s self-image. Faith in God gives a healthy rock solid belief in oneself.

    Diba, kung alam ng batang mahalaga sya sa gumawa sa Kanya, hinde mag-iisip yan magpakamatay pag merong mabigat na problema. He/she will wait for God in prayer.

    Eto hinde alam ng marami, GOD wants you to experience Him. All u need to do is be serious in your wanting Him. Pero magsisimula kang alisin or labanan ang mga vices mo like sexual sins.

    Ba’t sexual sins agad? Kasi yang yung madalas gamitin ng Darkness to the young. Madami ngang matatanda na hooked pa din dyan eh. Hinde alam ng marami na mas mabigat ang maturbation kesa sa adultery. Eh now libre na ang pornography sa internet eh.
    What do u do while staring at it? Diba yun.

    So be strong in your intention and fight. Pray and call Jesus to help.
    Yung fruit sa Garden na kinain ni Eva? – wrong self love yun, meditate at aralin mo.
    The tree of knowledge of what is good and evil for you is SELF LOVE.
    Ano ba culture now? ME FIRST. 

  • Ang Dami Kong Kuwento. Because I Have Lived So Many Lives in One Lifetime.

    Ang dami ko kasing dinaanan.

    There were seasons when I thought life was unfair. Times when I carried pain I couldn’t explain and burdens that felt too heavy for my shoulders.

    May mga gabing umiiyak ako na walang nakakakita.

    May mga umagang bumabangon ako dahil kailangan, hindi dahil gusto ko.

    And yet, looking back now, I realize something beautiful.

    God wasted nothing.

    Hindi Niya sinayang kahit isa sa mga luha ko.

    Hindi Niya sinayang kahit isa sa mga pagkakamali ko.

    Hindi Niya sinayang kahit iyong mga panahon na akala ko wala Siyang ginagawa.

    Somehow, He was writing a story bigger than the one I could see.

    Eto na.

    When you’re a child, the most important days of the year are your birthday and Christmas.

    Tama ba?

    Kasi iyon ang mga araw na feeling mo the whole world revolves around you.

    May handaan.

    May regalo.

    May surprises.

    And you honestly believe that everyone wants to make you happy.

    Never happened to me.

    At least not the way people imagine.

    I remember being in the convent during Christmas.

    May tradition sila.

    They asked each person:

    “What is the one thing you wish for this coming Christmas?”

    At alam mo ba ang sagot ko?

    Sabi ko:

    “Please don’t wake me up in the morning. Gusto ko lang matulog nang mahaba.”

    Hahaha.

    Hanggang ngayon natatawa ako.

    Pero kapag mas malalim mong tiningnan, medyo nakakalungkot din.

    What kind of a person asks for sleep instead of stuff?

    What kind of a woman dreams of rest instead of gifts?

    Maybe a someone who was already tired.

    An individual carrying things she wasn’t supposed to carry yet.

    Doon pa lang obvious na.

    The convent was never going to be my permanent home.

    Too many rules.

    Too many walls.

    Too many schedules.

    Because freedom has always been part of who I am.

    In-born yata.

    My spirit has always loved open skies.

    But here’s the funny thing.

    Maybe the convent wasn’t  the place of my calling, though I knew God was “calling” me.

    I just didn’t know where.

    Or how.

    Or when.

    Pero sigurado ako.

    His calling has colored my entire life.

    Every chapter.

    Every heartbreak.

    Every victory.

    Every detour.

    Every miracle.

    Nung dumating ako sa Canada, something happened.

    Slowly, one by one, many of the desires I carried for years started appearing.

    Freedom.

    Peace.

    Security.

    A quiet life.

    A home I can freely designed

    Simple joys.

    And that’s when I finally understood something that took God decades to teach me.

    Sometimes God’s answer isn’t NO.

    It’s simply:

    “Not yet.”

    May sarili Siyang timing.

    At napakaganda ng timing Niya.

    Much better than ours.

    Because while we are asking for blessings, He is preparing us to handle them.

    I spent years asking:

    “Lord, why not now?”

    “Why can’t I have it yet?”

    “Why does everybody else seem to get what they want?”

    Now I know.

    Because my priorities were wrong.

    Parang batang gustong ubusin lahat ng tsokolate bago kumain ng totoong pagkain.

    The child thinks the chocolate is love.

    The Father knows nourishment is love.

    What I wanted was not always what I needed.

    And because God loved me too much, He refused to spoil me.

    You know what fascinated me most about God?

    Every time I obeyed Him, He revealed a secret.

    Every time.

    A lesson.

    A truth.

    A deeper understanding.

    Parang may binubulong Siya na hindi maririnig ng iba unless willing kang sumunod.

    He’s mysterious.

    Napakalihim Niya.

    And honestly?

    That got me hooked.

    Because every act of trust opened another door.

    Every surrender revealed another piece of His heart.

    Now I understand.

    At least a little.

    Not everything.

    I don’t think any of us fully understand God while we’re still here.

    But enough to know this:

    He already knows what you want.

    Hindi mo kailangang paulit-ulit ipaalala sa Kanya.

    Alam Niya.

    Alam Niya ang mga wishes mo.

    Alam Niya ang mga luha mo.

    Alam Niya ang mga lihim mong hiling.

    Alam Niya kahit iyong mga bagay na hindi mo masabi sa ibang tao.

    But His goal is never merely to make you happy for a moment.

    His goal is to give you the best life possible.

    The life He designed specifically for you.

    And that’s why I never envy anyone.

    I no longer panic when things don’t happen on my schedule.

    Because I’ve learned something precious.

    God’s delays are often hidden acts of mercy.

    What feels like rejection today may actually be protection.

    What feels like waiting may actually be preparation.

    What feels like silence may actually be God working behind the scenes.

    Kaya ngayon, when people ask me about God’s plans, I tell them this:

    His dream for you is much bigger than surviving.

    Much bigger than paying bills.

    Much bigger than getting through another year.

    His dream is joy.

    His dream is peace.

    His dream is abundance of spirit.

    His dream is a life filled with His presence.

    In a way, Pasko araw-araw ang plano Niya para sa atin.

    Not because every day will be easy.

    But because every day carries a gift from Him.

    A blessing.

    A lesson.

    A miracle.

    A grace.

    A reason to hope again.

    And believe me…

    You don’t want to miss that.
