Month: December 2016

Crossroad

I feel like I’m in a crossroad nowadays. I have a feeling there will be great changes coming in the next few days  or even months both in my personal ministry and personal life, and I believe these will all happen in the coming year -2017. Yes, I am feeling hopeful and excited about the coming new year but at the same time, I’m a bit scared of what might happen in the next 12 months. I’ve been praying to God for growth and maturity for a long time now and I know that God will answer my prayer. But knowing God, I know that His way of answering my prayer will not be easy. There will be a lot of growing pains and great joy at the same to make sure that I will not only grow in the process but also to let me experience His great love and amzing grace. Most importantly, He wants me to know Him more intimately and love Him more deeply.

I’ve been told to ask for God’s Word for guidance but I’ve been putting off my plan to spend quality time with God for one obvious reason: I’m afraid to hear God’s answer. I’m afraid because once He give me the answer, I know I have to obey it. Will you please pray for me? Please pray for God to grant me the courage to lay down whatever plans, fears and worries I have for 2017. Please also pray that God will enable me to lay down the pride, stubborness, selfishness and self-centeredness I still have in my heart so that God can work powerfully through my life.

Thank you and may you have a blessed year ahead.

Day 16. If you planted a time capsule right now of your life to be opened in 20 years, what would be in it?

Challenge time!

Since I’ve just completed my blogging challenge with Lynai (at last!), I thought it’s time for me to go back to my TSW blogging challenge.  I am itching to finish it soon so I can move on to other writing  stuff for my blog.

The next question in my challenge is all about time capsule. Although I can say I’m a pack rat and very sentimental for my personal possessions, I never thought of planting a time capsule. The closest thing to time capsule planting that I’ve ever done was keeping a collection of novelty items and other fancy stuff several boxes (yes, several!) that have accumulated over the years. These boxes are now placed under my bed, collecting dusts and waiting for me to unpack them once again.

Anyway, going back to the topic, if I were to plant a time capsule in this time of my life right now,  I’ll put there my old college journal with the latest entry dated the time I’ve planted the time capsule. In my latest entry, I’ll write there the reason and purpose of planting that time capsule.

Along with my journal, I’ll put some of my used brush pens to remind me 20 years later that I was once into calligraphy.

Maybe that’s it. Nothing symbolic or whatever because I don’t want to keep away something important for a very long time.

No Ordinary Day has a New Home!

First of all,

Merry Christmas, dear friends!!

I finally decided to set up my own site so I’ll be moving out from this hosting site starting this week.

But since I’m a sentimental pack rat, I’ve also transferred most of my blog posts here, including my reviews from my old book blog to my new blog.

So… welcome to my same old brand new No Ordinary Day site.

P.S. Thanks to my blogging partner, Lynai and her hubby for assisting me in setting up this site. 

see you!
