STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. ;)

Hello there!! I’m back to tell you something I had in my mind. It was a long time before I had my last piece, and this time I know it will be a very long story. Just a quick share, I've been working for a school for already 5 years. Can you imagine it; I survived to work in that kind of environment which I never dreamed of. Just like Kelly Clarkson says to her song: “What doesn't kill you make you stronger?” and I guessed this is so true. I definitely agreed also with these quotes: “Where God leads you, He will provide.” “Wherever you are, God put you there for a reason.” And here I am, contemplating with all of these and having a hard battle between me and myself.

Going back to what I am sharing, we had our in-house training last week. Others might heard already the multiple intelligence theory. And because I've been here for a long period, I still don’t know what intelligence do I have a strong one. Listening to individual reports, I concluded on my mind that I had a strong intrapersonal intelligence. Why I said so? Check what the article http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/intrapersonal/  and most of these are in to what I am.

Intrapersonal Intelligence or "The Individual" has the keen understanding of oneself. It is their desires, strengths, weaknesses and how to operate on the self-model. They focus inwards on feelings and dreams. They like working alone and following their instincts as well as pursuing their own interests and goals. They focus inward and may often be deemed as someone who marches to the beat of a different drummer. It is whom we are, what we are, and why we are that way. A strong intrapersonal intelligence can lead to self-esteem, self-enhancement, and a strength of character that can be used to solve internal problems.

Characteristics include:

  • Spends time alone meditating, reflecting, or thinking
  • Attend counseling sessions or personal seminars to learn more about myself
  • Resilient in setbacks
  • Prefer to spend time alone rather than in a large group
  • Am strong-willed and independent
  • Keep a personal journal to record events of my inner life
  • Self-employed or thinking of starting my own business
  • Self-motivated
  • Being aware of what you love and fear
The intrapersonal intelligence individual may find a career in areas such as a poet, artist, photographer, or therapist and counselor.

Now I know why when my boss is out and I am alone in the office I can accomplish lot of reports and tasks I need to submit. Now I know why I am so eager to put up my own business (a school of my own, oh c’mon why not, I am claiming it now Lord. Yes Lord Yes!). Now I know why most of time I’d rather go alone and why I so love doing blogs like these. Now I know why I keep on motivating other people through my perspective and why I keep on always looking for a bright and positive aspect in any situation. Now I know why my gift from above is “counseling”. It says all of who I am.


I am sure upon reading this; you want also to find out what intelligence you have most. This is out of pocket topic and it just came out of my mind and drag me to write about this intelligence. Haha! :D

Okay! Enough for this, let’s go back to my boxed emotions that I’d like to squeeze and share out to you. It’s already two months since I had this feeling, a feeling to be in a new place, a feeling to get and find a new environment. In other term, I want a new world! This is not a new thing for me. I always have been in this scenario once April 22 had passed away. Lately, I found myself bombarded by too much thinking, too much wishing and too much hopeful dreams. “I want that! I need to get that! I want to have my own and everything says so.” For those who might read these and are  my Facebook friends too, probably you’ll notice lately that I keep on posting status telling about God’s provision, God’s plans and God’s perfect time. Those are all actually what are really on my mind.


I've been praying so hard but then I stopped already. It’s not because I don’t believe anymore to the power of prayer, the truth is I got more and bigger faith now. Instead of keep on repeating to God what I want, I am just sending my thankful notes to Him believing He had greater plans for me and His plans are much better than I had on my mind.  A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. (Prov. 16:9). I will just catch all the blessings He had already packed for me and He’ll be sending up away from Heaven above. I’ll stop now insisting what I want and go against the timeline of our Lord. I’ll remain good and still do good to reap a good harvest too.

Thanking Him for the people He used to encourage me once again and renew the spirit I had and restore the passion for my future. I've been reminded by Him through people around me. A text message last night saying: “Hay naku, wag mo na gawin yan. Just wait for God’s perfect time.” Another chat message from different person saying: “Wag ka, ano ka ba? Yaan mo na lang. Kaya mo yan.” Those are petty conversations but I see God is speaking through those words. He is talking to me and I believed He will never leave me nor forsake me. There are other people there who had more and bigger problems than I had. There are even others who are surviving against sickness, would I not consider myself far more blessed than they are. And there are also other who even wishing they had the life I have.


I’ll stop now Lord. Forgive me if I've wanted an easy life without experiencing a hard one. Forgive me if I want to see a rainbow without having a bad rain first. Forgive me if I've been complaining because I had hard paths without realizing you gave me tough shoes. Forgive me if I've been blinded by too much eagerness to get more without even seeing I had lot in front of me. Forgive me if I've been bragging about those unanswered prayers without thanking those unprayed answers.



I know it will still be a long journey of catching stars along the dark night, counting sheep and talking to the Shepherd too, wandering what will happen next and chasing the wind whirl beneath the autumn trees. I admit I am weak but in my weakness, God’s strength will be boasted. I admit I cried a lot but from those tears, laughter will arise more brighter than it was before. I admit I lost a lot of battle but therein I've been shielded by Lord’s armor. I admit I committed many decisions that are not good enough, but within those every failures, I learned and I am changed. So here I am again, standing firm to my faith and still holding unto God’s promises that I am highly favored and I am forever blessed child of God. Thank You my King.
