Plans and Unexpected Realizations

Let me start this article with an interactive question: *How's your Wednesday, everyone?* Well, even if you wouldn't ask me, I feel so accomplished today. I was able to finish almost 75% of my mountain of work from the office. It has been a busy day, and I personally like it better than no work. I always have the urge to sleep or go home whenever I do less. Moreover, it's the fact that I will only wait for two more days, and it's weekends again. I am so excited for rest days. LOL. So what do I want to share again today? Oh, okay, I remember now. Just earlier, **coins.ph**, my wallet for **read.cash**, notified me that I should get my account verified so I will be able to cash out, or send money to other online wallets. The deadline is **May 20, 2021**. *Yes, fifteen days from now*. The thing is, I am afraid I won't have a chance to verify it if I missed the set date.

This is a new dilemma, again. One after the other. Whew. To be frank, I don't have the valid IDs of all the list. I only have one—Philhealth, but it isn't accepted. Now, my plan is to just apply for *Police Clearance*, one of the easiest valid ID to procure. And that means, I have to take another leave. Whoa, I've really been busy these days, huh? Anyway, I also want to share that I suddenly thought of buying a new phone now. Don't get me wrong; it ain't a product of a luxurious desire or something like that You see, my current phone, which I just bought June of last year, only has **3GB RAM**. This makes it hard for me to install more applications that I deem important.

And now that I am involving myself more in cryptocurrencies, I have planned on exploring on different tested wallet apps for my **BCH**. Just earlier this morning, my amazing phone prompted *"Low on Storage"* again. *"Please delete unnecessary apps to ensure efficient use."*

With a hopeless sigh, I uninstalled another photo-editing app that I love. Yeah, I said it in my previous article before. I love photography, and I also like putting my own touch in pictures I capture through editing. Nevertheless, we all know that even budget phones still cause a lot, and we really have to separate money for this purpose. I have added ***"Buying a new, high-end phone"*** on my wishlist, under the *"Major"* Category. Given my financial situation right now, I can't just randomly spend an amount for a gadget. Well, hopefully, soon. Who knows? Maybe my very first achievement through read.cash is being able to buy a new phone through just my articles' earnings alone. Wow, that's such a dreamy idea. I am suddenly more motivated.

My initial plan is achieving 1BCH, anyway. I really wish I can achieve that this year. *2021, please allow this to happen! In Jesus' Name! Amen!* Now that I shared a random wish of mine, let me share another thought. *(Really, Elle? You don't run out of sharing. Nobody cares.)* Kidding aside, my mother just mentioned me in a comment from a Facebook post. It says, ***"Mahina ang Kristiyanong kulang sa pananalangin at hindi consistent ang devotional life."*** *("A Christian who lacks in prayer, and not consistent on his devotional life, is a weak one.")*

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=313288786824874&id=100044312655526 This reminded me, that I am a human, and I have limits. I have reflected about what I went through in the past few days, and realized my faith is not really in good condition now. I have focused and spent time on many new things recently, that I forgot to prioritize my relationship with God. Yes, I still pray everyday—many times a day, in fact—but my habit of reading the Bible and using a few minutes for devotion have eventually perished. There are times I talked to God while my mind is exploring about other things; or sleeping before even praying; or forgetting to pray at the right time. ***God is my strength***. I have always known and said it, but until today, I haven't realized it has long gone not applied in my life. I have been accustomed of dealing with things on my own, and a *little bit* of prayer, not even sure if it's sincere. Writing this right now reminded me, that I have God behind me in every minutes of my existence. Why have I been so unmotivated and unexcited about life? Why is there always something that I want to have, but can't identify what? Some dark, empty space has resided in my heart for days and weeks now, but I still wondered how I can fill that void. *No wonder I am getting weak as a whole.* Like a soldier who has conquered many battles and is now exhausted, but refused to drink the water offered to him; I am the perfect representation of that soldier. ***And through mom, God has sent me a reminder again, I should trust Him in everything that I do and that I should not lean on my own understanding. His strength is perfect for my weaknesses and He is such a loving God.*** With this note, I am ending this sharing session early. I mean, it's already 10 p.m. here in my place. I am also starting to drift into sleep; I am tired. Hello there! This is another non-planned article I decided to post before I actually sleep. Don't forget to pray and ask God for strength. ***With Him, nothing is impossible.*** Thanks for reading up to here, you touched my heart with your kindness and generosity.
