Stress has overcome me last week. Since coming home from my Manila trip, everything has been extra challenging. I knew my life was challenging but I never saw it to be as difficult as what I saw last week.
Even having my devotional was challenging — extra challenging. A part of me was praying to go back to Manila and escape all of this difficulty. But no, I have to stay and face this.
Depression came and last Friday and Saturday was even more challenging as I face all thoughts of wanting life to end to escape where I was … but I know it wasn’t an option…
I am posting this to tell you life isn’t as colorful nor happy as you thought my life is. I may have been smiling but no, life is not easy…. I can’t run away from all of this in an instant. I can’t go easily where I want to go nor jog all stress off… and just now as I type this, I have just deleted a big chunk of rants I mentioned about the place I am in.
Life is not always wonderful for me — but it is in these moments of frustration, anxiety, and even depression that I feel more blessed to have the Lord Jesus Christ in my life…
I have SOMEONE to hold on to more.
for the next few weeks I am going to share (and hopefully the internet cooperates) my journey to minimalist. I have a lot to declutter in my life especially now that I took another role at work and in the ministry. I am not giving up on any of the activities I have now but rather minimizing certain activity involvements.
Schedules needs to be strictly handles.
Appointments including discipleship needs to be met stricter with stronger goals to produce strong Christians
work has to be prioritize to set a good example and also to help myself
and yes, even as simple as expenses needs to be handled well especially now that I have just registered my business Panitika…
It’s all about going for what matters more…and yes I praise God to surround me with other Christians who can help out. Trust me, iba parin…
This a journey to becoming a minimalist…
it’s not about getting rid of items but rather prioritizing God as my main reason rather than myself … what he wanted me to do so I can glorify Him more…
For sometimes clutter comes when we are not fully focused on what truly matters…
