Looking for DESTINY?!

What comes in your mind when you read or hear the word DESTINY? Mr. Webster says that, “Destiny is fate; inevitable necessity; lot; or fortune”. When we ask the opinion of other people about it, most of them will answer “it is finding the right one for you”; obviously that someone is pertaining to a lady or a man. Well, they don’t mind about the appearance, for as long as they love the person they want to be with till the end, they really don’t mind a bit even the people around, mock them as if they don’t notice that they exist in their world. Sounds funny but true.

I guess that most of us girls is searching for our Prince charming, or some of the man who are seeking for the Princess that for them it is thier perfect match. But enough of it. Do you still believe that someday you will find your perfect match? like a Fairy Tale that always has the "HAPPY ENDING?"

If that “Destiny” comes in your way, do you feel it? Noticed or experienced? For some people, it is a thing that we made when we drop some sort of decisions, like choosing the one we love for the rest of their lives or the one we want to marry. It’s really the hardest decision we make because as said earlier, it’s like choosing your partner for a lifetime. So, it is too late for regrets.

Most of the people around the world think that they can change their own fate, and saddest part is, they don’t want to let God make their own destiny and the truth are that our right answers fail us. Definitely that is the reality we refused to learn. And the result, we hurt them and so our own self pushing to a wrong one.

Have you encounter a broken family because of a rush decisions? Because of letting the flesh take over love, thinking about it over and over it makes you go crazy. They don’t know that love is sacred as long as they take part of the culture, they don’t bother about the result. A baby that who is born unexpectedly, pregnancy sometimes leads to abortion. A tear fell off my eyes when I hear news that a fetus throws off the garbage, a little one that is too innocent for what is happening in our world. A mother that has no conscience doing this is immoral. For my own opinion, if they don’t want to become parents to their child, you have to think before doing that pleasure.

You know what? Yes you! God want what is the best for you, if you let the will of God pass your way then wait for the right one. Don’t lose hope waiting for the right man or lady for you. Know what? It pays to wait upon the Lord.

God is busy preparing that someone or maybe he/she is right there beside you.God is waiting for the right timing He design, for you to have His special gift for you. When God knows that both of you are ready. He will grant what you are praying for a very long period of time.

I want you to know this; God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life that He gave Jesus died in the cross for our sins. We need to admit and confess to God that we are sinners. And let God take over the driver seat of our lives. Let Him guide our way, even to the point of rocky road we encounter.

And pertaining to our destiny? Trust God in writing the best loves story of our lives. Isn’t it exciting? If God directing our way? And not ours hold our own dull fate, resulting to discord and frustration?
Come to think of it. God made us and He knows not only the better but the best for us. God don’t want a broken family, imperfect relationship and crash lives but He wants us to have what is perfect because God is perfect. In short, God want us to be perfect. (Matthew 5:48 “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”)

Let me share to you this, a text message that is passed to me. It says “Don’t rush into fallen in love, for love never runs out! Even if they mock you coz you are single, just tell them ‘God is just busy writing the best loves story for me’.” It’s nice to hear right? So be prepared. And be still.

Let me share to you another one. This is one of my favorite songs. I love the rendition and most especially the lyrics sang by the band Barlow girl entitled “AVERAGE GIRL” the lyrics goes this way: “So what I’m not your average girl, I don’t meet the standards of this world. Chasing after boys is not my thing. See I’m waiting for a wedding ring. No more dating, I’m just waiting like sleeping beauty; my prince will come for me. No more dating, I’m just waiting, ‘cause God is writing my love story. Boys are bad that’s certainly not true ‘cause God’s preparing one for you. If you get tired waiting till he comes Gods arms are the perfect place to run. Sleep, that’s the only thing for me, ‘coz when I sleep Gods preparing one for me.”

For me being single is not big deal. It’s ok that you are single. Well, I really don’t care. But the most exciting part of waiting for Mr. Right? Fewer mistakes, less pain and less regrets. Love God first, so that you will forget the word “TIRED” of waiting.

Or, if you have a boyfriend right now, fiancée/fiancé, or engage. It is your chance to pray for one another, keep on asking to God that you want to be married to him/her. Let God know how sincere you are. Commit also your purity and commitment to Him. And you would be amazed how faithful God is because of your sacrifices just to honor Him. And let your expectant heart rejoice!.

God says: “Marinel, Smile, dream big and live life to the fullest coz I am with you always.”
You! The one who is reading this; I encourage you to try to say to yourself the same thing.

“Your name, Smile, dream big and live life to the fullest coz I am with you always.”God said. ^_^

God Bless..

Thank you for reading this topic. Hope this one inspire you.

"Wonderfully Made"

Maybe some of you are wondering what my speech last (October 13, 2010-Wednesday) that’s it! To be honest with you that was the complete draft of my speech. And I planned to glance it "hopefully" as I speak that night, but then it didn't happen. I felt that when I stand in front of the audience as if I forget about my plan and continued to shared my life.

"Wonderfully Made"

“A pleasant evening everyone. I stand in front of you tonight to share to you the wonderful things about me, my family background about my hobbies and likes and my Christian faith.

Who am I? Maybe some of you ask it for yourself when you get along with me in the passed meetings here on TOPS, and this is the opportunity for you discover more about me. Many times, my name is always mispronounced as Maribel or Maridel, they told me “you are Mariel right?! Huh? I know you are Marilyn, well, what a very funny guess, but I will never forget someone called me Marinette on my 19^th birthday. He was sharing appreciation for me that time and said in front of my guess “What is your name again? You are Marinette right? “My face turned like this? And then I ask him, what? Marinette? You are the only person that called me Marinette? Where do you get that? He just laughed but I got disappointed that’s why I still remember that event. But, I forgive them and thank God that I have a very unique name. 

By the way, this is how unique God created me; I am a product of a broken family. My mom and Dad got separated when I am young, I have an older brother, and a younger sister, I am the middle child, I am not sure of the exact date when he left us; I haven’t seen his picture as well that’s why I do not have an idea what he look like, but I missed him despite of his shortcoming.

Even though, I have of broken family, my life goes on, I took it as a challenge and inspiration to study even harder that’s why I with the degree of Bachelor in Science Information Technology at Polytechnic University of the Philippines last 2009, and currently I am working at I-Map Websolutions, IT Company.

I am finished about my background, now what are my hobbies? During my past time I am love books, composing a poem, and writing in my blog site, taking picture and collecting them as well. My favorite hang out is at Manila bay where I could spend some time for myself and let my imagination travel as I watch the beautiful sunset.  I love music, I sing and played guitar when I am in the mood to do so. I enjoyed being alone sometimes because I spend, some thinking time for myself and to enjoy Gods presence. I enjoy staying inside my room to read and write what comes out in my mind.

Lets me share to you about my Christian faith, as I reminisce to thee past 21 years of my life, many things have changed, the way I talk, I walk and my view about life. What is my secret? Of having a joyful living despite of struggles, disappointments and trials, or brokenness? It is the everlasting love of God.  My life became meaningful when someone shared to me about the LOVE of Jesus Christ, His forgiveness, grace and mercy to an unworthy person like me.

I know Him yes! That time, but I know God didn’t want me to just know Him by name, but He want me to have an intimate relationship to Him. Until I prayed and accept Him as my personal Savior and Lord last, November 7, 2003. I found the love that I am seeking many years ago, the love that is found in Jesus Christ alone. For me, to transformation is not happened over night but I indeed go through different trials that refine me into a joyful person what I am today.

In my college days, I have joined at Campus Crusade for Christ Organization till now I am still connected with them, we shared our faith to the student in the campus; I spread the love of Christ that I experience also in my life and told them about my personal testimony.  After I graduated I choose to heed the call for 6months as a volunteer campus missionary in my Alma Matter, to lead and inspire the students become leaders of this generation, for me leading students is a lifetime commitment. 

I am now;  standing in front of you, proudly say that although I have a broken family, am not broken anyway, coz God made me whole, & God made my broken family complete with His love,  my broken heart become brand new, because of His amazing greatness and love. I am now fulfilled, secure, not just happy but joyful in Gods hands.

I have many aliases, but what makes Marinel unique? It is because God assure me as He said in his word in Psalms 139:14 that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by Him, and I am His Princess, you are too, fellow toastmasters and guest, and for general evaluators! God would always remind us that trials and being broken is His one way to humble us, and strengthen our faith to Him for us to see that we cannot do anything on our own and that we could acknowledged that have a Daddy God up there that we could look up in times of our brokenness. God use my brokenness for me to experience Him and Love Him with an undivided Heart. God loves all of you also, fellow toastmasters and guest good evening!”
