Counting Blessings – #011: What’s New With You? (Did you know God moves in different ways?)

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. – Isaiah 55:8



Have you ever found yourself not exactly knowing what you feel and wondering what season you're in?


Well, if you have, you're not alone, I'm with you too!


If you're a new reader, I welcome you to my little diary, and thank you for taking the time to read my random thoughts hehe 😅


I already have this kind of entry, but here we gooo! 😊 



I don't know, but if I'm being honest with you... I just want to be alone. 


It feels like I want to be by myself for the moment, not forever 😅, because I know God didn't create His children to be alone, especially in our faith journey. But I think this is the season I'm going through right now.

I still want to listen and stay in touch with others, especially my fellow believers and family, but I also feel like I want some space for now. Siguro, I can still answer questions like "Kumusta ka?" or "How's your work?" but there's also a part of me that doesn't feel like engaging deeply with people.


But then I remembered my prayer back then:

When I'm in a season where I feel like I don't feel anything, may the Lord help me stay on track.


Lord, konting push pa po sa'kin...


It's not that my prayer is asking the Lord to pursue me, but what I want is that when these days come, He would remind me that He is with me and always present.


Akalain mo, yung topic namin sa DBS group namin was so timely for my situation.

God reminded me how important it is to join and engage in the fellowship of believers in Christ. Honestly, it's tempting for me to withdraw and not engage, but in my faith journey, I can't do it alone. That's why this fellowship I have is truly a gift from God.

I know I have a choice, to join or to keep myself away from this kind of fellowship, but I see how valuable it is to stay connected.

I may not have shared what's really going on with them yet, but it's such a blessing to have people in my life who are willing to pray for me.

Note to self:
A personal relationship with the Lord is important, and so is fellowship with other believers.


I pray for God's restoration in my mind, heart, and soul—and that I continue joining in fellowship, because this is one of God's instruments in my faith journey with Him.


People who will correct me, encourage me, and pray for me.


They may not say it directly, but I know that God is also speaking to me through them.


Pause.
Breathe.
Pray.


Thank You, Jesus. 🙏🏻 You're still working, making all things work together for the good of Your children.


peace. love. joy.

Laki ako sa isang Christian family, but I never thought the LORD would encounter me in the most unexpected ways— should I say, His ways. At before tayo pumunta sa exciting part, let me share a little background ng aking life. #Slambook >.< First, let me introduce myself! I'm Shechiah (she-ki-ya) or you can just call me Shek ^_^ Fave color ko? Hmmm... ngayon, I like mint green. Pero yellow talaga :D Isa sa mga hobbies ko ay ang kumanta 🎶 And... I grew up in a Christian household. I have two uncles na pastors. Back then, wala pa akong specific church na ina-attendan. I attended both churches (same name but different branch) for some personal reasons and that's another story hehe. I’ll share more next time, God willing... Dahil mahilig na rin talaga kumanta, napasama na rin ako sa music ministry. Naging back up at the age of 9 or 10? Not sure pa ko sa exact age hehehe  and active din ako that time. I love singing for the Lord. I love singing...  for the Lord... Taas ang ...

Totoo pala talaga 'yung sinasabi nila... The more you walk with God, the more you realize how much you truly need Him. Why? Because if you want to grow and become more like Jesus, He will change everything in your life—if you allow Him to.  God made me realize that. And these are some things I had already heard before—but only truly discovered and felt the impact of in my mid-20s: Without God, I am nothing.  The Lord will expose the areas in my life that need transformation. It’s only by His grace that I’ve come this far.  Trust God, even when it doesn’t make sense.  The waiting season isn’t just about meeting the person God has for me, or waiting for the prayers you're praying a long long time ago—it's also preparation for His Kingdom. I know na hindi lang din ako familiar pero ang grabe na niyan for me :')   Without God, I am nothing.   Totoo ito— because the life I have now isn’t even mine. ‘Yung hininga ko, sa Kanya nanggaling. Have ...
