This is a new "segment" in my blog brought about by an anxiety that if I die anytime, my family and closest friends would have a hard time organizing my old-and-worn-out notebooks to compile the things I have written over the years of seeking spiritual counsel and for the priceless times of silence and solitude with God.
As a Christ-follower, I believe that one must continue to hear and discern God's call and direction for his or her life. We are called to continuous search for His direction and will but with caution that our ultimate reason behind this attempt is to give glory to our Father in Heaven here on earth. In the process, we come more acquainted, though not fully acquainted, by His wisdom and ways that always result to a deeper and intimate relationship with the Author of Life.
My mentors would always remind me of the verse, "Write the vision and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." (Habakkuk 2:2). And it has been my going-concern to heed to their wise advice. I just can't find enough time and appropriate storage device. Through the years, I have etched them in my heart and kept them in an exclusive compartment in my brain.
So instead of waiting for years for my family and friends to give me a tribute to my legacy after God calls me home, I'd like to share to the world some of my dreams for myself, for my family, for my community, for my accountability group, for the city where I grew up, for my business, and greatly for my country. I believe that God honors and gives the desires of our hearts if we seek Him first and find pleasure in knowing that He who began in me will be faithful to complete it. He will accomplish His plans for my life because He is faithful.
Some of these dreams have already shared with a few valued individuals who belong to my accountability circle. They are special people in my life which includes some family members, my pastors and mentors, my friends here and abroad, my officemate, my classmates, and my small group members.
I affirm one author who said that there is no better place to be than in the nucleus of God's perfect will. And in my faith-journey, I desire no place to be than in the heart of His good, pleasing and perfect.
Because of Jesus,
Jaja
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Acts 20:24
