Life has a funny way of showing you what you’re supposed to do with your life. In my case, I’ve been shown so many things that led to my decision of accepting the work offered for me in Mindoro. God knows how challenged I am to bring back to life something that has been sleeping away. And in Mindoro, that’s what exactly I’ll be doing. Ever since the offer came, I’ve been thinking about it. There have been so many times I wanted to just get away and disappear for a while. And here’s the answer. But my decision is more than just getting away… I want to fix my financial mess and myself up for the time being. Even if it means sacrificing luxuries in life; sacrificing family, friends, the choir and the youth. I believe it’s time for me to hang on to God. I am talking like I’m actually leaving already… but the final decision is yet to come. I’m waiting for my mom to give her go signal… Papa has already given me his… We talked (actually I talked, he nodded, smiled or shook his head) and he was happy the whole time, which was really weird because this is for a long time, I’d be back by December in case this pushes through.

On the other hand, I am also thinking at the back of my head: “What if God is testing me, leading me to Mindoro only to find out that he has other plans for me?” Then I remember the readings of love, trust and obedience. I should let go and let God. I should take a leap of faith so that He can work on me. If it doesn’t work out, at least the journey home is just a few hours away. If it works out, then I am sure I have a purpose to fulfill there. On both cases, I really just have to trust in Him and let Him work in me.

Addict na ako, I swear. I’ve been doing so many changes to my blog and making it more packed. I’ve been trying to learn html, finding codes and whatsoever to enhance my blog. www.webmonkey.com is a nice place to start. My tag-board has colors now… yippee!

Yesterday, Jeff told me my first choice of address for my blogspot was like his so much… because of the word “WORLD”. My blogspot now is http://arlenereflects.blogspot.com… it used to be http://arlenesworld.blogspot.com… and so much like http://jeprocksdworld.blogspot.com daw! Hay, pet peeve: owning words that aren’t really yours to begin with… ;) oh well. Il let it pass. I’m still trying to find creative ways and terms to enhance my blog.
