A Year of Great Spiritual Awakening

God came closer to me this year!

At last I finally had the chance to post here again in spite of that maternal discipline from my technological addiction. Anyway, it’s one day to go before New Year. Sigh… How could this year pass by that fast? I admit that nothing has changed much except my relationship with God. It’s been almost two semesters since I joined Victory Christian Fellowship. It really improved my relationship with God and my knowledge of Him. I even experienced new challenges that proved how strong I am as a Christian. A lot of things changed within me. I’m now outspoken on my views about God which I seldom do before. I’m now feeling that God is upgrading me as His instrument in sharing His good news. I’m not perfect but still, I’m struggling to drive my evil force away. I really thank God for giving this opportunity to me. Thus, I look forward to make that relationship stronger in spite of many hindrances.

Aside from discovering the true Christian in me, I also started reading the Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren. I know that a lot of you out there have already read that wonderful book. I have started reading it last month but I failed to continue after the seventh day due to world pressures. Am I weak? I have to say yes, somehow. Two days after Christmas my senses ignited again so I started reading, giving myself a second chance. I even used a notebook to jot down important notes that I believe can help me while I share with others my view of God. I posed a strict policy to myself that I’ll just read one chapter a day so I can have time to reflect on it. I’ve heard others who finished reading it because they read two or more chapters a day. For me, that wouldn’t be effective. I recall a time when our philosophy teacher challenged us to defend God with him on the “God is not a good God” side. It’s a real shame that none of us managed to defend God and just drowned on the reasoning skills of our professor. I wish I knew God even more on that time. I must have defended him and won. But past is past and we learn from it. I’ll just continue to be a sinner who was chosen to be one of God’s instrument, letting Him mold me into my purpose in life.

Hmm… What very significant change would this upcoming year have in my life? I hope it’s an awesome one… part of the purpose God wanted for me. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!!!
