SURPRISE!!!

Hello fellaaaas! Eeeenk! Here comes the excuse introduction from the delinquent blogger.
-----------------------------------------------
Okay, skipping the “it’s-been-such-a-long-time-since-my-last-post” classic excuse this time… (wink!)

Let me share to you a wonderful blessing the Lord gave which surprised to me today.
  

So, for weeks now, I have been researching, drafting, revising, submitting, re-drafting, revising, overhauling, reinventing and making so many failed attempts at writing two very important write-ups for my company due this September.

Admittedly, I have been putting quite a serious amount of thinking and effort on them and each attempt and finished draft seems to always lead me to a potential disappointment.

TOO STRAIGHTFORWARD… BORING… UNINSPIRING… WALANG IMPACT… UNATTRACTIVE. LACKS INFORMATION. CHANGE. REVISE.

For a go-getter like me, these comments are detrimental to the heart- the self-esteem to boot. But as a person, I was taught about humility and those lessons allowed me to trust that in each failed attempt, each rebuke and each disappointment encountered is a chance to learn and master the act of offering grace to others and an opportunity to grow and improve some more.
  
True enough, the Lord never fails us. He knows what we need even before we know it. His surprises are the most Epic (let me use this term to keep up with the fad of mainstream clichés. In bisaya, pauso words ba. Wahaha!).

Well, to my surprise, I got a text msg from our company’s President (yes, PRESIDENT) early this morning informing me of a meeting to finalize the write-ups I'm making (as mentioned above).

To make the long story short, after our meeting, not only did I get a free lunch and a rare opportunity to share thoughts with my boss, I got all my questions answered, got more points from him than what I had in mind and may bonus tips pa from the president himself!

To top my super day, I got THE ULTIMATE INSPIRATION to come up with better, more creative outputs all ready for presentation next week. Beat that!!! Yayyyy! Okay, so nasa cloud 9 ako kanina…share ko lang. hahaha!

The BEST talaga Si Lord. He grants our prayers even in unimaginable ways! Kaya even during our lowest, most desperate times, let us continue praising and glorifying Him.  Because He will never forsake us. He will never fail us. Trust and believe, in time it will be perfect. Because if it’s His will, it will be perfect. Thank you!!! I am sooo humbled by this day.

Let me end this post with the perfect verse that I believe would sum up this post which our dear Pastor Alvin also recently shared in one of his FB posts.


Psalms 37:4, "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart."

PEDRO ARRUPE



"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything . It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything." 
- PEDRO ARRUPE
