When I turned 26 last year I created a battle cry for that year, "In You I find my Peace at Twenty-six".  This year, it’ll be "Getting Even … at Twenty-seven"!

Let me just say that the 26th year of my beautiful life has been soooo GREAT and yes, I found peace in Jesus!  I may describe it as my Miracle Year!  The year when God has worked wonders within me.  This year I’d like to extend that ‘wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles’ type of experience to others. 
This year I am
    Getting even BETTER at Twenty-seven…
    Getting even GENTLER IN SPIRIT at Twenty-seven…
    Getting even MORE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE OUT at Twenty-seven…
    Getting even MORE CONTROL OF MY UNHOLY TRINITY (ME, MYSELF AND I) at Twenty-seven…
    Getting even AND DEFEATING THE WORLD at Twenty-seven…

So that actually ends that…haha…akala mo kung ano noh!  But yeah…that’s my goal!
Anyway, just want to share how God actually granted my Birthday wish.  Or not na lang how but what my wish was…
I told Him, "Lord, sana naman on my 27th Birthday e kiligin ako!"  Am being my funny self again…pero woah…the series of events that happened this week was very heavy, really heavy but the Lord managed to grant my wish!  Kung sino ang tinutukoy ko…for the mean time secret muna.  Basta, I am just amazed kasi sometimes even the childish things I request from Him is given to me.  Hehe…  Thank You Lord!  You’re the best Dad!

You fear making decisions because of the consequences of your past choices, but Paul said "No dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead."

You fear you wouldn’t find fulfillment here but how does one measure fulfillment?  Never mistake it with activities, statistics and not even emotions.

You fear challenges and changes.  But setting goals that are easily achieved is to me but a form of mediocracy.

You fear that you wont be effective in your ministry but that’s maybe based on your standards only.  You have set so many things for yourself but remember this, our Lord requires only your heart.

My friend, take courage.  The Lord is with you and I am here to walk beside you in your journey.
