Life, Love and Relationships

I just came from SFC ILC 2008 held at Clark and I brought home with me so many learnings, answers and wonders of God.  Here is one of the many…

At the start of 2007 I told God that I will completely surrender to Him my searching/waiting for the right man for He is the only one who knows me so much. Therefore, He alone knows what is best for me. That total surrender confuses me whenever I pray.  I had questions like, should I still pray for it?  Does praying for it contradict my submission to God?  Does praying for it mean a lack of faith in God?

Sam, a full-time worker and the speaker for ILC Talk 2, shared something that brought light to my confusion.  The answer was, PRAY, pray without expectations.

She shared her fervent prayer for God to give her a child. She experienced telling God, ‘Lord I am serving you, please give me a child’.  This progressed to, ‘Hindi na ako magdadasal para wag ako magexpect at mafrustrate pag hindi Niya binigay’.  Then she attended the SFC Guaranteed conference and the message was clear, Pray… Pray without expectations.  Therefore, I still need to ask God for the desires of my heart but I need to be open to His will for me.

For all of this may my BIG GREAT GOD be praised!!!!!!

Ask me about my lovelife and I will beam my sweetest smile with ‘kilig’ gestures.  This will always lead the other person asking if I already have someone special in my life.  To which I will reply with a sweet none. :)   Yup!  You read it right. I still have no one to whom I have a romantic relationship with and I am not even dating anybody.

So you might be asking why I have that ‘in love’ and ‘kilig’ gestures when asked.  Wala lang, I am excited and happy about the love story that God would bless me with and this message from a friend sums it all —> ‘Trust God in every little detail of your life.   Faith is the confident assurance that what you hope for will happen.  It is the belief in something that we cannot see yet.’

I know my time will come.  I believe that God will bless me with a love that would always remind me how He loves me so much. :)  For all of these, may my Big God be praised!!!
