way beyond the horizon
God’s been taking me on a journey of a complete surrender to Him that would naturally require complete obedience. It all climaxed to me reading this reflection from my perpetual calendar ‘Lord, Your call to obedience may not always make sense to me, but help me to remember that You have a reason for everything.’
Here’s a bit of my journey. In 2006, God reawakened my plans to go to US. I prepared and for the first time I asked God what His will is in my life. One of the preparations that I did was to save money in USD. Another is to discern the message thru Ate Noralyn which was ‘Go where the money is’. I did some accounting and the obvious choice was Singapore. However, this contradicted to my desire to really pursue my US plan. ‘Sigurista’, I spent my whole year discerning or should I say accepting the will of God. Finally, I accepted it and stayed in Singapore. All I can say is the will of God is really the best for me for I am living in full happiness here in Singapore.
In 2007, USD weakened. I smiled to God and thanked Him for not letting me go to US. Unfortunately, I already saved some USD and I can’t exchange it now because I will incur a loss. From then on, I would always ask God what is His purpose for my USD. In the end of 2007, slowly I am getting the answer.
This story continues up to this day and I still don’t know how this will end or how will this continue. One thing is for sure, obedience to God is the key to happiness. For I can only see up to the horizon but He sees far, far beyond it.
