Chapter 6 – What We Are Aiming For?

New Platform

I changed the platform again due to the payment needed, I'm not that blessed financially (aka stable) but I'm grateful to have a job and earn some for a living and still troubled what should I aim for. Jowa? Nah, forget them (di nga ko stable)

If it's your first time reading reading these non sense blog post I'm writing and calling them chapters because it's a chapter of my life, I just don't know what volume are we, maybe volume 32?

You can still check the chapters from Write.as but those from Simple note, I'll be no longer sharing them. Lucky for those who with me from the start, I'm grateful, I want to cry.

The Preparation For Tomorrow With A Subtle Hints of Uncertainty

If we are aiming for something, we prepare for it, either we need it or we just loved it. Like preparing for emergencies and preparing for a date with someone then she won't show up. Man, life is cruel but when you have Christ in your heart, there's still hope just trust the process and timing (Boiling Waters PH lang?)

Christians are called, to be always ready, as we walk in this earth, ready to defend and proclaim His Word, ready to help our fellow believer or someone in need and ready for His return. That's something worthy preparing to aim for.

Easier said than done though, as I said life is cruel but Christ is our hope because He is the target of that hope, no more no less.

The Beauty Of Aiming The Unreachable Expectations

As we prepare and aim for something, there's a beauty that comes along with it. It's normal to grow old, have white hairs or no hair at all but growing up is a matter of choice. Aiming someting is also a matter of choice. Believing and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is a matter of choice which the body, mind, and soul needs to align and nothing can compare to its beauty once you say Yes to Him.

And once we aim, we are expecting something in return, tumaya ka ng lotto syempre inaasahan mo sana manalo ka. The word “sana” in English “if”...sorry if it's wrong basta yun na yun. My English is now suffering.

Mostly in life expectations can be certain or uncertain but being in Christ, we are always certain, whether it bring us pain or joy, still it's a matter of choice if we will hold unto Him. Growing in Him is hard but its beautiful.

Encircled By Eccentricities, Comforted By Abnormalities

Imagine you're an archer, you spend time training and gaining EXP until you reach level 9999 and now it's looks like you're cheating, infact you used Game Shark (sana gets nyo). That's not life. As we aim for something and beholding the beauty of it along the process, the eccentricity of life aka struggle is like a tsunami that wall around you, facing your giant ikanga nila.

At yun nga, sa kabilang kamay, merong mga abormnalidad na nasa palad mo na tumawag kay Kristo sa oras ng pangangailangan, like that King of Judah from the book of Chronicles, and help comes.

Therefore things we aim for only hit it right when everything is really right. It's not almost perfection but its the joy that counts on our hearts that He can only give to us.

If we aim for wrong things, it wouldn't give us joy and if we missed the mark, it's the same. There won't be an everlasting beauty on it even it looks cool to the world.
