After a 7-month hiatus, I'm finally back!
A blog with a purpose.
The reason I stopped writing was because of the lack of great things to write about. Everyday senseless kwentos got boring after a while. Fantastic, stupendous burning bush experiences do not happen daily. And when they finally do, I found it too difficult to capture the entirety of the event in words that I'd end up just savoring the moment with the hope of forcing every bit of detail into my long term memory bank. Or I'd just be too lazy to type (Well, this was the case, most of the time! Haha!).
Hence, I got stumped. I was in a rut.
I did not make time for this because the exercise loss its glimmer. It became pointless after sometime. I became too busy with other seemingly important matters and sadly lost the drive to do this thing that I used to enjoy.
Then I felt a nudge. A loving, reassuring nudge. A window of opportunity to do this once more.
I got the idea to tweak things a bit this time.
I finally accepted the fact that I cannot just let my mind wander aimlessly when I write. I should have a purpose. I need to focus my energy on something worthwhile...
And what can be more worthwhile than giving glory to my God as I write? Who can be more worthwhile than my God? No one, for that matter.
Thus, this blog, as my new subtitle implies, will be my daily offering to HIM as he continuously gives me my daily dose of blessings and miracles.
A nudge from HIM was all it took for my hands to start typing once again.
New Look. New Attitude.
The past months have been a crazy Anchors' Away hell of a ride. I was that close to having a nervous breakdown. Stress ate me up. My negative thoughts pulled me to the ground. My heavy heart weighed me down like an anchor. I questioned things. I doubted Him. I took people I love for granted. I was not happy with what was happening in my life. I was dragging myself out of bed every morning and carried a ton of worries and concerns each day that passed.
But redemption came just at the right time. It always does. He always does. He surely has his way of bringing me back from the dead every time I lose my way.
I have finally decided to replace my gloomy outlook, which has kept the rain clouds hovering for the longest time, with heavenly sunshine.
Happy. Positive. Rainbows.
I came to realize that I am just too blessed to be stressed.
It's a challenge, I know. As a (former) pessimist, it’s been a struggle. But the new look of this blog comes with a new attitude (in writing and in living).
I now bear (or at least, try to) an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE. And by His grace, I’m getting by just fine.
In the greatest depths of my heart, I believe that I will never run out of reasons to be thankful.
A brand new day brings brand new reasons to thank Him. And this is one way to show to the world how grateful I am for life, for His miracles, and for the many blessings that endlessly fill my life. I now choose to focus on the blessings, and not the problems and challenges that arise each day, and I plan to immortalize these wonderful moments of GRACE through this blog.
I claim to be soaked in blessings everyday so I may color each page, each entry, with words of praise that show how awesome and faithful my God is.
This is for Him. This is all about Him.
Yes, more of Him and less of me.
Ciao!
