The past year was nothing but a different level of challenge to all of us. The government, the country's economy, people's health, and most of all, our individual lives. As for me, I've lost a lot, almost even myself. But I am glad that the Lord never failed to rescue me and get me out of that dark tunnel I've been in for almost a year. On the last three months of 2020, there I was, slowly regaining every aspect of myself that I almost lost. And I became determined to set forth a different path and ideals for 2021.
I welcomed this year (2021) with a positive outlook and a heart full of hopes for what the Lord has in store for me. I can now confidently face the whole year without wavering in times of rejection and trouble and I have only set goals that I think are doable. Let me share them to you.
1.) Ensure a stable income flow.
I know I cannot work full-time at an establishment yet given my current status, but I wanna have a part-time work/business that can add up to the little I am already earning monthly.
2.) Finish writing my pending books and stories.
I am confident that this is attainable for this year if I will just be more disciplined and avoid being a procrastinator. (I am now working on this)
3.) Be happy and contented with what I have and do.
I may have changed my plans that were originally set for this year because of unprecedented circumstances, still, I am thankful to the Lord for constantly reminding me that what He has prepared for me is by far better than the one I was rejected for.
Hopefully, I will be able to meet all my goals for this year, but if not, then it will be okay. There is still a better tomorrow that's coming for me to work on them and I will certainly not lose my hopeful heart along this journey. I know there will be times that I'll feel discouraged and unvalued, but with the Lord constantly reminding me of my worth, I know I can sustain.
I am writing this, not just for myself but also for all of you who has been feeling down or has pressured themselves to do more than what they actually can. Learn to rest. Take some time with your family. Pamper yourself. Most especially, give time to converse with the Lord because only He knows well about us.
Heart full of love and hope,
