Thank you Pastor Mitch for inspiring me to write this one.
Looking back, this year, 2005 has been a different year for me. For one, this is my first year of being a full employee of Lexmark and receiving my regular income has been a test for me; my faithfulness in handling my finances is very much being tested. This is not about returning the tithes and giving the offering but about what happens to the remaining 85% of my income. This year, I learned (not fully learned though) a lot in that area and my desire to really be disciplined and be faithful grew. Another is, I have meet more men of God this year than any year in my life so far, there's Rev. Tony Pool, Vins Santiago, Georgian Banov, Pstr. Ted [forgot his last name.. it sounds like "labas!"... kidding sounds like Manlangit], Pstr. Carding Siok [bata ako ni Lord], Pstr. Aljef [fruits that lasts], Pstr. [Bimbol-rocco-look-a-like] and some other pastors and evangelists. Thank you Lord for bringing me people who challenge me to go beyond where I am today. Another is I have read[on my own] and owned more books this year than any year in my life so far. And I have dreamed bigger dreams [and achieve some of them] this year than any other year in my life so far. Also I think I have grown faster, this year than any other year so far. Praise the Lord for that!
This Sunday, we will celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday and here is my partial list of people I thank the Lord for. Lord thank you for:
#1. My mom, Evangeline Librero - my hero. The lady who gave up a lot of things for me. The lady whose passion for the Lord is my inspiration. She is not perfect but I loved her not only because she is my mother but because she is love-worthy. If you are me you will understand what I am saying, you would probably say, "who would not love a mother like that." She is probably the first person who believes in me.
#2. my mentors - Pastor Noel and Pastor Siony. They believed in me and they help me grew as a person. They are committed to be used by God and as a result, I grew as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I learned that the Lord has really great plans for my life because they never stopped [until now] teaching and inculcating that fact in my spirit.
#3. my gilfriend - Joyce Marie Galindo. She is the second person, I express my dreams, hopes and fears to. She believed in me, she belived that I can make our future brighter. She thinks I can do many things and I can make things happen. She appreciates every single thing I do. Though, sometimes we argued, she still loved me. She thinks I have what it takes to make my dreams a reality. I was never afraid in telling her my dreams because I know she will fuel it.
#4. my media friends - Kuya Joe, my leader, he is always patient on me and appreacites my ideas. He sees the same future that I am seeing and is committed to pursue it. I learned a lot from him; Mel, she my very close friend, I thank God for her maturity. Her growth is always my joy. She makes me feel trustworthy and she always pruds me to go on; Gerard, he does a lot of things better than me and I thank the Lord for that. Without him, I can't imagine a lot of things in the team. He makes the world rounder; Dave, his maturity has been my inspiration. My trust for him grew in every moment; Tiff, her thoughtfulness always touches me. There are a lot of details that I overlook but she catches them as easy as ABC. When I look at the Tiff before and the Tiff she definitely has grown to be a better person.
#5 my sisters - if my mentors taught me to dream big, they thought me to dream. They taufght me to move forward and not be contented with where we are. They taught me to survive. Some of them sacrificed their personal agenda just for me to succeed. I learned from them, their experiences about my father, because of that, I had painted in my mind, a great father who is committed to my succees. So more or less, I have felt the love of my father even though I was not able to experienced him as I grew up.
#6 my friends in the office - my team. They are very supportive people. They contibuted a lot of my personality. We both learned from each other. There are a lot of things I would say bout each of them but this will make this post longer.
#7 people in church that inspired me - surely God placed them there to inspire me. "Oh my all who come behind us find us faithful."
