It’s funny how things turned out for me this week! I thought I was already feeling stressed about the multiple things that are simultaneously going on in my life, when apparently the One up there has a different perspective and draws up a completely distinct plan for me! Yikes!!! He gave me two additional things to do on top of the things I already have on my plate!! 
Anyway, I am definitely NOT complaining! I totally appreciate the trust given me to serve in the capacity I was called to. I think it’s always a privilege to be “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” When we are faced with a challenge to do something that we think we’re incapable of accomplishing, He lends His hands, lifts us up, and makes us equal to the task at hand.
So, I look forward to this new and wonderful learning experience!! I know this will yet be another chance for me to grow in so many ways and beyond all my expectations!
Just the other week, I heard someone talked about how she dropped all her personal plans—which seemed to all fail no matter how hard she tried—and got down on her knees to ask Heavenly Father what His plans were for her. She was surprised at the initial impression she received. She even asked: “Is that what You really want me to do?” Eventually, she listened and acted upon the promptings and completed a mission that she never thought she would ever be able to fill.
I guess the bottom line is, when we align our lives with what Heavenly Father has planned for us, things fall into place and doors will open up because “He shall prepare a way for [us] that [we] may accomplish the thing which He [commanded us to do]!”
Wherever our paths may take us, I wish that we would all seek His plan, so that things will become easier for us and that we would be able to do things according to His will.
Love your positive outlook! Isn’t it the truth that if we just trust the Lord and go His way instead of our own, we would save ourselves so much needless effort, pain, and sorrow. Thanks for keeping it real!
Blessings,
Mary

I totally agree, Mary. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of some of our plans and follow His will, but it’s the only way to go if we want to be happy.
Thanks for stopping by.
Cherry, my friend.. please know that whatever the Lord has asked you do, He knows you are the best who can do the errand for Him. Your sisters like me are just here behind praying for your success. Love you my friend and dear sister
Thank you for the support, Sister Amistad!
I miss you already! 
Definitly Cherry if He is the one who plans your journey , nothing is soo difficult and I know that you were the instrument of the Lords plan when I came over to Canada , remember I already book for the Philippines and I was about to pay for my ticket the day before my daughter that she needs me badly , I think it is not a coincidence for you to come over that Saturday , it was a plan from the Almighty and when I think of that , that is His tender mercies on my part because it was just easy for me . I really can’t forget that and I always think of you . Love Mom
