nag-QT ka na ba?
” I waited patiently for the Lord;
He turned to me and heard me cry.”
Until when will I wait for you, O Lord?
” Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust,” Blessed me indeed that I continuously trust You Lord. “Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I speak and tell of them they would be too many to declare.” And I’m glad that You have so many plans for me that are still waiting to be unfold. “I desire to do your will, O my God; Your will is within my heart.” It is my honor and joy to do Your will. Serving you is not a burden, but a joy in my heart.April 21, 2008

thr33 things
right now, there are three things that are always occupying my mind these past few days.
one is my GRADUATION.
i will be attending my comencement exercises this saturday. yehey! im a bit excited but im not prepared. I still have no preparations or whatsoever for this special event. how come? i dont know. no shoes. no dress. nothing.
two is my BOARD EXAM (or bored exam?)
yeah! i think its bored exam. im getting bored and frustrated in reviewing all my notes… AGAIN! at first, i rewrite some of my old notes and read my old files. and now, seeing all the scientific names i have to memorize makes me feel old. waaaahhhh!!!! another set of pimplets arise!
three is my favorite METRO as always.
i always ask God why cant He just give me what i really want. and that is the internship. i dont know know why it takes so long to know the results. waiting is killing me (not really). but i always remind myself to be patient. persistent prayer is always the answer. well, just like yesterday, i would still wait here and pray.

scatter-brained
as part of my application, i have to write an essay about why i should go there. my essay is really really bad. i don’t know why i cant put it in a way i wanted to. i revised it a dozen times but i never made it better. finally, i will settle in this revision. i hope i could still make it to the internship. waaaah!!!!
why i feel i should go to metro
The first time I heard about the Metro Ministries was when I met a relative who actually became part of their internship program last year. I was encouraged through his stories and experiences to seriously pray for Metro internship program.
Even though I already have a background in youth ministry, it wasn’t easy for me to apply for the internship program due to the balancing of my responsibilities, people’s expectations, God’s will and timing and my desire to join the internship
When I was asked what I really wanted to do in my life, I always say that I really want to do something about arts. But as I browse my journal, I realized that I also wrote that aside from arts, I also want to be a teacher, a guidance counselor or something like that, meet different people and immerse in different cultures. I also want to establish a non-government organization that is related to social transformation and community development. Maybe this is too much for a dream that I already made plans for my future. But of course, my wants is not enough for me to apply for the program. There are also things that made me decide that I want to give this a shot.
First, I believe that I am created for something more. I believe that God wants me to dream something bigger and better than my own self-inflicted dreams. I believe that He wants to put me in a position that will give me an opportunity to shine for Him.
Second, I believe that Metro will help me to be equipped spiritually, mentally, and emotionally to prepare me for my long-term goals. I know that through Metro I will also be able to create a program that will make an impact in our community.
Third, internship is also about experiences. Experience to see, feel, and hear people with different backgrounds, culture and environment. I want to experience community immersion in a different cultural setting.
Lastly, I want to go to the internship not only for the lessons I can get but also for what I can contribute. I also want to be part in reaching out people. I want to be accountable to them in any way I can. I want to demonstrate the love of God to these people and encourage them that they are also capable to do acts of service to God in their little ways.
Bill Wilson said, “If you want something you’ve never had before, you’ve got to do something you’ve never done before.” That’s exactly what I want to say. I want to help change lives that are according to what God really wants. I want to see, hear and feel doing service in it. I already prayed for this even before I knew Metro Ministries and I know that I shouldn’t just sit here and do nothing. I have to do something and that starts now.
