| A Story of How God Molded You This Year
“I used to be the girl who loved to hide behind the covers - a wallflower to be exact. I found comfort behind the walls that I thought ‘protected’ me from the influences of the world and thus, never left my comfort zone - not until 2025 arrived where God helped me see a version of myself I never thought I had.
Welcoming 2025 wasn't a walk in the park because there were tons of challenges I had to face which led me closer to Jesus. I remembered having a specific prayer request to God during the 10 days of prayer driven by the urge to travel all year round for His mission. It was just an innocent prayer - to have more church visitations with the AMiCUS-BC fam and in return, I'd accept every opportunity that comes my way - even if it's outside my comfort zone.
Basically, I had to live with that commitment so whenever opportunity knocks on the walls of my heart, I have no choice but to accept it and pray to God for guidance. During those moments, I noticed that every time I offer a prayer, God answers them in ways more than what I expected. God really hears our prayers and I'm more than blessed to have Him as my guide. I never thought that it would be the beginning of an unexpected journey of my spiritual awakening.
You know, I realized that when we let God lead, everything will fit perfectly into place. At first, I never truly understood why and how it all happened but now that the year is about to end, I'm just so grateful to God's faithfulness to His promises and for the blessings He had given me all year long - His divine providence, friendships, adventures, answered prayers, character building, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and a lot more than I could count.
As the year comes to an end, I want you to be reminded that we don't have to understand God's plans, we just need to trust His heart every time we lose sight of His hand. Remember, we may not know what lies beyond or what the future holds but we know who holds the future. That fact alone is the best assurance we'll ever need to get through the day.
We never know what we can do unless we try. So, if you're too scared to cross that wall, I'm encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone, let God lead the way, and watch how He'll unfold His greatness towards your life slowly but surely.
‘You do not realize what I am doing right now but someday you will.’
- John 13:7”
