"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19a).
Every ending has new beginnings. Every winter is followed by spring. Every night ends with a fresh and new morning. This is what God wants us to look forward to everyday.
It is said in the Scripture that we are new creations in Christ Jesus but how many times did we look back at our past and ending up not moving on from it? Do you feel the weight it puts on your shoulder? It is not bad to look back but dwelling on it that makes us miss on God's plan for us is another thing. God wants us to experience a fresh start. His plans, ways and thoughts are way higher than ours. As said in Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
See? He knows what His plans for us so why not just trust Him? Never will the Lord harm us. We may say that we feel pain here and there, that's because we're still fighting His plans. Leave our baggage behind [our past] that pulls us down and be ready for a fresh start. Remember, He is with us and will be with us and will not let anyone harm us. There is no one who can fulfill that kind of promise to us but God. Believe that God is willing and able and soon enough, we will find ourselves at the path He has promised us to be in, way before we were born. Forget our past and look forward for a fresh start and new beginning. Exciting it is!

[Blog] A brand new ONE
What does brand new ONE give us? It gives us the opportunity to scratch the bad things that happened in the past. It gives us the opportunity to correct what went wrong the last time. It gives us an opportunity to have another chance to everything - work, love, friendship. But do we really give one more chance to people who did us wrong? We should for God forgave us and gave us another life to live in victory. GOD is The ONE and the ONLY ONE who has the ability to do this unconditionally. He just gives new grace and renewed mercy every single day of our lives.
Who are we not to give another chance to other people?
Let us live a life pleasing to God and you'd see the difference in your life.
God bless us always!!!

[Blog] We did it!
Looking at the bright side of things is the best way to fight negativity. A lot of people psyche themselves up that things will turn out to be fine which does happen sometimes. However, there are events in our lives that we really cannot control happening. Like raining in a big wedding or a big ocean wave tripped you over while you're wedding picture is taken with ocean as the background. How would you react to it? Would you be happy about it? Or you'll tell yourself "it's okay"? Many times in our adult life that we are caught up in these situations as if we cannot get a hold of ourselves anymore. We bounce back and move on where we last left off.
This week is one of the longest weeks in the calendar for the big wig came to check on us. People started strategizing on how to showcase our site and our numbers. We have our counterpart in the other city and we know that we are better than them. We started cramming to finish a lot of things and running around like chickens without head. There were times when this big square is closed out, jam packed with people meeting about the big wig's coming. When they learned that the eagle has landed, pressure started going up and people were figuratively being strangled to lay golden eggs. This feeling has a downward spiral effect that the front liners felt it as well for they are the ones being placed under the microscope in the way they handle things for our beloved callers.
Last night was the leads’ round table with the big wig and this is my 2nd time to be in a meeting with him. As usual, I was a bit scared of what’s going to happen for there are pressing matters that we need to deal with as of the moment. There are numbers that dipped for days now and we are set at a bad light then a round table is set for us? P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E. I cannot anymore put stress to that word anymore for it is by itself it is. :) As expected, he was super nice and very strategic on how we are to deal with the bad numbers for he has been there wired to his station once in his life. I am very positive that he was very much pleased on how we handled things even if the numbers are going out of hand. He knows that we have already have plans at hand and a follow through on these people will put us back in track.
As the day drew near its end, so as his visit, I can say that we did it! We were able to deliver well and present things successfully. The plan materialized and it was good! It is my honor to be part of the best and the brightest for we were able to brave the storm and get through it even if we know that we need to deal with the debris that the big storm has left us with. I am very positive that the other projected string in the current lines we have will be a success but expect a neck-to-neck battle between us and the one in the other city. God will be with us as we traverse this big sea of challenge. We will step out of faith and believe that it is HE who will make this work and we will be triumphant on it. We believe and we lift up this to you, Oh God, for you are a promise-keeping God and you will grant this one for us.
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!
