Yesterday (October 15, 2013) I celebrated the 5th Anniversary of my 18th Birthday and as a part of my yearly ritual #18ThingsIveLearned
1. I am not perfect! But I have a perfect GOD. Absolutely! ^_*
2. Being a Christian doesn’t exempt you from all the emotions that human can feel. But through the grace of God, we don’t need to be consumed by those emotions.
3. Submitting myself to Christ wasn’t an easy thing to do but I must say, it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. Knowing GOD and who really is and who am I for Him is the greatest and most amazing discovery I’ve ever had. Indeed!!! ^__^
4. We have to be Fearless.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
– Joshua 1:9
Because He is! He doesn't say "Alright, I'm going to be with you on Mondays, Thursdays, Sundays, and holidays when I feel like it"... instead He says that He'll be with us ALWAYS, and that we can ALWAYS call out to Him All the time!♥
5. I don’t have a perfect family. But I am grateful about them. I don’t have perfect friends, and I too is not perfect to them, but I am grateful for their love and acceptance to me.
6. I’m not a lonely-loner-girl anymore. Thanks to my leaders, my household, my prayer warriors, and to my growing family of believers – who never fail to inspire, encourage and motivate me to continue growing my faith in GOD. #ThankYouSFCFamily
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” --Hebrews 10:25
7. “DON’T WORRY” ---1 Kings 17:13
8. When all else fails! CHOOSE TO LOVE
9. I’m totally, completely, and perfectly loved... #BELOVED
10. Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
11. He is the reason why even in fear, I continue to push forward...#IrefusetoBeOrdinary
12. Let your memory be your travel bag #adventure #zipline
13. Keep your heart open to love. Admit your weaknesses and acknowledge your temptations. Reconnect with those you have neglected or taken for granted. Use this day, right now, to be happy. Understand your power isn’t for others to take – it’s yours to give, but only to those you choose. Focus on what’s important and know that true abundance is best measured by the love you share
---You're braver than what you believe and stronger than you seem---
14. You have to rely on whatever sparks you have inside♥#shineBrightLikeADiamond
15. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! (it’s the BEST commitment)
As John Ashford says: “There is no such thing as can’t, only won’t. If you’re qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can’t blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.”
16. I love this passion for SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP. I knew it is God who put this desire in my heart. It’s a burning desire that keeps me awake at night and makes me feel frustrated every time I realize that my circumstances are distracting me to take a step towards fulfilling it. #XTRMAttitude
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”--- Philippians 4:13
17. .¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪♫♪ You got to get up and Try, Try,Try... #pink ^^
18. For the Things I am Yet to Discover about God’s Plans. There are still a lot of things that I don’t understand. There are still a lot of things that I am yet to discover, but I am very excited about. Knowing that finally I got the right direction I need in my life, I have no reason to be afraid anymore. For I know, God is with me on this journey. I believe that He will slowly unfold His wonderful plans for me. In His perfect time.
Isn’t that something we should all be excited about?
“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
