"If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow - to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fast to him - then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you. Every place where you set your foot will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the western sea. No man will be able to stand against you. The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go."
- Deu. 11:22-25
I'm going to be 30 soon and life is never going to go back to simple again, as much as I hope it would be at some point. Work in itself is already a reality. I used to be able to just step aside in the shadows and echo the things my dad would say and do, my actions holding no immediate or dire consequence to anyone. "Oooops" doesn't work as well anymore. I say "Oooppss" and other people are dragged along with me. My common sense brings them up with me, my pagka lipong, down.
Its verses like this that gives me hope and strength. I know all my efforts can never bring me to the level I dream of. Its all God's work. It has become clear, how God can manipulate things to our favor. Despite our wrong choices, he already opened door/s that will give you a more graceful exit into something, sometimes not what you would expect, but a place that is more secure.
So onwards to new territorries, more headaches and more lessons I know I will look back on and laugh, someday.
