Phases of Life

November 2000, this is the happiest time of my life. I passed the Electronics and Communication Engineering Licensure Examination with a very great rating of 70.6% (Really amazing, the passing rate is 70%).

January 2001, a typical probinsyana, who was looking for a good opportunity went to Manila. Finally, after 4 months of walking around mostly in Makati to submit resumes, being lost from the streets of Ayala, asking directions from the police, security or MMDA officers, I was hired as administrative assistant through an agency, Business Staffing Management, Inc. and assigned in Globe Telecom, Inc.
October 2001, the highest point of my life since it was my dream to be in the corporate world and be part of a big company. I was surrounded by good people who guided, supported and cared for me. For my previous colleagues in Globe, thank you very much!

June 2005, the lowest, saddest, breaking point of my life. I decided to leave Globe Telecom, I don’t want to leave because that’s the most treasured and accomplishment I had in my life. During those times, there were fear, pride, hatred, negative things are all coming. I was not confident, and situations worsen my self-esteem. I hated someone and the situation. I gave up what I have, in exchange for peace of mind, even if it cost me a lot.

July 2005, I called it now the beginning of my “Purpose Driven Life”. It was the start of going back to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I asked for FORGIVENESS and he forgave me. God’s forgiveness, reminded me of HIS great LOVE. God sent his only son, Jesus Christ and died in the cross for my sins even If I don’t deserve it. What a GREAT LOVE I have from my Heavenly Father! Slowly, through GOD’s grace I learn to FORGIVE and released HATRED, FEAR and PRIDE. These things have no room anymore in my LIFE.

Recalling those experiences, I believed that everything happens for a reason and with me it turned out the best. Well, the LORD says” For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

From that moment on, LIFE was never the same. For six years, there is a transformation, though I would say that it’s just a little portion but I am very thankful with it. I know GOD is creating something in my heart. There is still a bigger PORTION that I know God wanted me to give. He is waiting for me to receive it but I am not yet ready. (I don’t know yet, when will it be!) Along these years, I have an ON and OFF relationship or it’s liked a Hide and Seek Relationship with my Heavenly Father. Good thing, He is always there waiting for her daughter to come back. Though, I don’t want GOD to keep waiting for me!

Y2011 is about to end and before I welcome Y2012, here are some important points that I learned for this year.

I desired for a deeper and intimate relationship with GOD. Yet, I do not do things need to be closer to GOD.

I want to experience more of Financial Freedom and yet I still go back to the old lifestyle. GOD has given me Financial Breakthrough but because of these things: Greed, Impatience, Self-Indulgence and Ignorance. It almost places me back to financial difficulty. In managing my Finances, it is good to be reminded that I have covenant with GOD, to be a good steward, to give back what is due to GOD and be a channel of blessing.
