Never say NO

I was supposed to spend yesterday afternoon and evening studying but I was invited to attend the Household of Leyte and I thought “why not?” I can just study at night. What I didn’t know was that it was an overnight activity. I’m glad I came though.

For me, it was God’s way of making me realize what was wrong with the way I run my life. It was because I run my life. I realized that even though I prayed that God’s will be done and that He use me to be His instrument, I already have a plan of my own. A plan which I think would help me achieve my goals and I usually stick to it. 

Now I know that God wants me to do what I have to do but never say NO to Him. 

That’s what’s going to make me happy. The same goes for you. If you’re a student, then study. If you have to work, then work. But when God calls, never say NO. Never mind your disrupted schedule. He’ll take care of it Himself. Just have faith and seek for God’s peace.

I used to smile broadly (especially when I’m alone) just thinking of the many blessings I received. Then, I lost that habit. I tried going back to that self but it’s been a struggle. And I’ve been feeling kind of dry. I could hardly recognize the new blessings I’ve been receiving. Perhaps, it’s because I was thinking that God has not granted me the achievement of my goals yet. I didn’t realize I was ignoring God’s plan.

This morning, I thought about how God’s work in my life is so amazing. I was smiling to myself while holding back my tears. Crazy, am I not? I’m so back.
