Start/Resume

Okay, I have started my journal, but instead of hand writing it, I downloaded an iPad app which have a pass key.

I also resumed my low-carb diet and started my One Month to Live book.

I will resume my gym work next week.

Memory

I was awaken this morning an hour before my alarm by the ringing of my phone. It was my mum. I rejected her call and called her instead. She then old me of a story wherein my aunt went to a school and met my Grade 1 teacher Ms. Teresita Trillana (she's married now but I don't know her married name). When my teacher saw my aunt, she asked about me, asking where I am, if I am still wearing eyeglasses and if I am married.

It is just amazing that she still remembers me, even if it is because of how bad my eyesight is. Truth is, I do remember her too. My memory of my 1st grade in primary is quite vivid.

But it would be more thrilling and exciting if I will be remembered by my future descendants - through my own children and nephews and nieces - as a woman who earnestly seek God and who lived God's plan. That would be a precious and lasting memory.

Faith Goals 2012

1. Start Journal - it doesn't necessarily mean to update this blog everyday, because not all of my thoughts are for blogging. But I intend to write in a notebook or print out and paste in the notebook when thoughts are coming so fast that my hand can't keep up. Why do I want to start? Back in high school, I had a diary where I keep all the records about my encounter with a crush. My relationship with Jesus is much more meaningful and exciting than that of a high school crush and I want to read the journal again some day and tell to my kids the amazing journey I am having with God. One thins is for sure, that I will not end up burning this journal and those yet to come.

2. Be consistent and faithful in Daily Bible Reading - I have to make this a habit, not only in the mornings before I leave for work, but also every night before I go to sleep. If I want to really walk with God, I have to know what He wants to tell me and not always me telling Him what I want.

3. Stop procrastinating - don't leave for tomorrow what I can do today. Simple, I get to accomplish things early and there will be less clutter.

4. Give best at work - even if I know that I may be leaving Singapore for good this year, I don't want to leave things half-done. How can God entrust me with something bigger if I can't give my best with the small things I have now, besides I should always remember that I work for God, and not for man.

5. Save - I intend to set aside a hundred dollars and have it deposit in my newly opened bank account in the PH, and also to increase that amount as soon as I finish paying the debt I accumulated when I was on my holiday. 

6. Incessantly pray for family and friends - Never stop praying for my family, for Reigne and Reese, for Riel, for Renz, for my parents, for my nephews and nieces, that they will start afresh with their walk with God, that in God's mercy, He will extend His hand to them. pray for favor for the custody of R&R and financial freedom. Continually pray for good and loving relationship for each and everyone in the family. To pray for friends, that they will start trusting God alone and not any other idols nor persona, that they will learn the truth and so they will have their own personal relationship with God.

7. Japan - either to live there for the next 30 years or to just go on a trip. I am believing that this year, God's promise will be fulfilled. Also, to pray for the nation, that more workers will be called to the wonderful nation and that one day Christmas will be a holiday (because there will be a significant number of Christians that the government will have to declare the holiday for the believers).

8. Husbands - We're believing that this year, Almira and Liezel will get married Just that.

9. Disciples - That Yanfen will not be the last, that I will be able to share to other people too. That Shiryo will read the book I sent him and that his curiosity will rise and that I will also be able to share to him.

10. Lose weight - even if I have to cut FF membership in May, to jog at least 5 times a week and to continue the low-carb diet which proved to be effective for me.
