My Random Daily Life

Divorced. Mature. Displaced. Most people would have been discouraged by these official terms to describe their status in society, but not a precious lady who wrote to me sharing her testimony. She didn’t let how others saw her stop her from pursuing her dreams—she applied for a university education in her latter years. What caused her to rise above those voices of defeat? What caused her to be success-minded?

She shared with me that through reading my devotionals on God’s grace and Jesus’ finished work, she became infused with faith and boldness to pursue her dreams no matter what limits others put on her. Instead of seeing herself divorced, old and displaced, she said, “I see myself as God says I am—His beloved. Because I am His beloved, I’m trusting Abba for abundant provision.” She saw Almighty God backing up her dreams and giving her a great future despite her age.

Beloved, immerse yourself in the truth of God’s unmerited favor toward you today. Be conscious every day that you are His beloved—and pursue your dreams with boldness and hope!

"There is always tomorrow."

After working for years, I have come to a point whereby doing a job that you love is not easy. 

Amazingly, I am still the same person few years after graduating. I haven't developed any passion toward certain field and hence, I simply chose those career with "reasonable" salary. The "reasonable" salary does not come easy though because it demands a lot of your time (and hence, your life) wasted working overtime. 

At this rate, I think my dream job will be those which allow me to earn a comfortable amount of money without burning my life away. Hmm sounds like a dream? I agree. But to make it realistic enough, let's just say I dream of having passive income. LOL. #cansomeonebuymeahouse

"Great, you've found a dream. But now...how to endure life while trying to make your dream come true?"

Sadly to say, there are no quick-fix remedies. You just have to enforce your own work-life balance so that you won't die too early from overworked before you can reach your dream. You just need to remember that the bills will not pay by itself. You just have to maintain your relationship with some (or a few, in my case) friends who you can share your burden with. And, your family too, of course. And most importantly, you just have to rely on God. Because life is just too heavy to endure without His grace.
