Today is supposed to be my 32nd day of doing the IGNITE2011 devotionals, unfortunately, the topics are only made till day31. Somehow, nakakamiss din pala yung magdwell dun sa devotional but I guess, I need to MOVE TO THE NEXT LEVEL; and as I was just reading my bible today, I just had a thought that flashed on my mind, “So, now that you’re finished with the Ignite Devotionals, WHAT’S NEXT? ” I just kept on asking and asking and asking the same questions on my mind over and over and again. SO, WHAT’S NEXT NGA BA TALAGA?
If there is one HUGE THING that these devotionals did to me, IT’S TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED!! Meditating on different topics and making a blog for 31 days isn’t a normal thing for me to do! Oftentimes, I want to stop it already, but there is something in me that is telling me to FINISH what I have STARTED!! There were a lot of distractions! TV, cellphone, sleeping (HAHA), plus the fact that our review class with our Clinical Instructors just started (so more reading should be done!!!!), men! It’s really hard to set your priorities! But I guess when you really desire something to happen, no matter what hindrances may come, if you are really eager to do it, nothing would be able to stop you! And of course, with FAITH and with GOD’S GRACE, I was able to finish the devotionals!!
So, what’s the point of all this DEVOTIONAL THING on FINISHING WHAT I HAVE STARTED? Somehow, my perspective in life changed!! Since I have surrendered my life to Jesus, all I cared for was for ME to gain something, ME to be equipped, ME, ME and ME! I did realize that IN THIS RACE CALLED LIFE, you need MORE of JESUS and LESS of YOURSELF in order to survive this walk! ANOTHER THING is that we cannot finish this race alone! We need GOD to lead us the way and we need our SPIRITUAL FAMILY on our side to teach, guide and encourage us! J ALSO, WE NEED TO PERSEVERE UNDER TRIALS! Being a Christian doesn’t mean that you are excepted from all the problems in life! The more you give your life to God nga eh the more the trials would come! But that doesn’t necessarily means that we need to GIVE UP IMMEDIATELY!!! LET’S RUN IN SUCH A WAY AS TO WIN THE PRIZE!! J
1CORINTHIANS 9:24
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
HEBREWS 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
This is what’s next after the devotionals! As I have finished doing that in 31 days, I also NEED TO FINISH THIS RACE WITH GOD AT MY HEART AND MY SPIRITUAL FAMILY on my side! C’mon! Let’s run this race called life! Let’s finish what we have started! J
