God in my 2020

If there's one Word that would describe my 2020, it's the Word "new". God promised new things and now as I look back, I perceive it clearer. Indeed, He is faithful in His promises. 

There were new roles, new people, new challenges, new experiences, new discoveries, new miracles, new answered prayers, same powerful God. 

Here I am remembering how God moved and made things new in my 2020. 

New role

This year, gave me a love story scripted by Him. 

I became Jayson's girlfriend. I said yes to this personal new normal. :) 

New people 

This year I met Team Comets, Kuya Albert, Kuya Bob. We had a prayer meeting at 6pm everyday. I also met Jayson's family, relatives and friends. 

New challenges

The pandemic happened and I was not able to go to work for months. I was anxious to go out. I was very cautious . Masks were so expensive, people lined up in the groceries, there were curfews, we needed to have an ID to go out. I was not able to go home for my mom's birthday. I also lost my beloved cousin Jhared. The morning that I lost him was one of the worst. Thanking God for sustaining us. 

New experiences

Because of the quarantine that lasted for months, I experienced new things. I became fascinated with herbs and plants. I bought basil, parsley, sinus, chili, garlic and blue ternatea!!! I miss them! 

Went to a valentine date. 

Received flowers. 🌻🌹

Attended services and VGs online. 

Got a salon-like experience courtesy of Daisy! She gave me mani and pedi, hair cut and foot spa.

New place 

Been praying to see a white sand beach for years and to travel with family and finally God answered that prayer this year! We 

 went to Calaguas!! Kaya pala Ang aga ng beach Namin (January pa lang). 

New discoveries

It's the year I learned more about my personality and things to improve. 

I learned my gentle-supportive personality, my love language (quality time), lack of assertiveness and authority  which were really challenging. 😅 

I learned things to improve in the way I speak, laugh, respond, act, work..

There were times I'm overwhelmed and I don't know who I am anymore but I just go back to agreeing to who He says I am and to aim to be more like Christ ( which is the ultimate goal). 

Only He can transform me.

New miracles 

My brother had a positive result on the antibody test against COVID19 and I remember fighting so hard in prayers for his life. Now I can see His miracle in my eyes. My brother is  here now at home playing music for our new year celebration! Of course, it's not me who ultimately fought, but Jesus for his life. I'm extremely grateful! 

I still have a job!!! After so many rejection, God worked for me to be in a work from home set up. 

He also didn't allow me to grow hungry even if I don't have a job. Amazing provider!!

New answered prayers 

Every start of the year, I write my faith Goals. Though my plan has been changed a lot. God still allowed these things to happen and I'm grateful:

To keep learning - I got a TESOL certificate and finished a purple book class! 

To have better life skills- cooked a lot of pasta during pandemic

To lead my own VG

To one to one more women - Edlyn, Maro, Didith

Great health - not hospitalized this year! 

Ref

Start reviewing for LET. 

In all these one thing is not new - God. 

 He's the same God who loves me and make things happen. 

That's still my confidence in 2021. 

All praises to Your Name, Jesus!!!!
