Time to go back!

May 07, 2022

Hello everyone, I was wondering if you have some time to meditate mostly at times when you're at the peak of everything that makes you happy?

As everyone always does, they thank God when they receive blessings, saying thanks and that's it. But have you experienced kneeling to God and worshiping him for long hours?

When I was an active community servant I always make this a habit, to have my scripture time and it will only apply to me if I am focused on hearing what's the Lord's message for me every day.

I always have my journal from the start but I rarely write in it not until the year 2020 when the pandemic take over our lives and made a drastic change to our daily activities where I became attentive to writing it.

During the first quarter of the year, I was able to complete my journal every day. I always have some serious talk. Like I would wake up earlier than four and have some worship time and then prayer and then hold my Bible and ask for guidance to understand what I'm about to read. There's this immense feeling that I was completely in the chapter I am reading that I get to fully understand that it's God's way of saying what I will achieve during the day and what's ahead of me if I make a rash decision. And through His promises, I can say that I can make another person's lives change just because I am confident that God is with me in every path I am taking.

Then here comes the skeletal workforce, the schedule of back to work until the decision of me stay in the office until things will be settled. I thought I can continue my journal and the daily devotion but it didn't happen. I became busy and I haven't got time to read the scriptures. The fire within me burned out and I had completely forgotten the activities since work take over my mind and body.

I want to be back on track and to go back with the Bible reading and talking to God, not the typical storytelling but that healing kind of talk. I want to decide based on what God has given me and not just my instincts.

This is solely my personal insights
if ever you are not Christian and you have diferent beliefs just ignore this article.

This came to my mind while listening to the town priest's homily during his online mass. He then asked, "did the fire within you that helped you stay closer to God still there or already burned out?"

I do admit I kept on forgetting about my journal and I can only spare time after making some tasks or being active in earning sites.

I just hope that I can get back to my usual self again.

This is really random since I was having fun playing with my cousins that I forgot I haven't made another article to be published so I decided to write this, this was on my drafts and I was struck by what the priest told everyone.

In everything, give thanks..

Thank you for reading!
