i will never forget in high school, during one of the bible studies i attended at the creek in first year, the topic was faith. we were asked what faith was. that's pretty easy. it's believing in something without needing any proof. it's an easy word to define but in reality, it's a hard concept to grasp. i mean, how can you believe in something that logic could not explain?
then we were asked, "what is the opposite of faith?"
*awkward moment of silence*
i answered, "unfaithful?" hahaha funny... but the right answer is fear. if you have faith, then you have nothing to fear.
“Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.”

i have so much more to learn about faith, trust and love. i want to learn how to let go of all my fears and trust that eventually everything would be just as He planned it to be. it's a big challenge especially for a control freak like me. kasalanan kasi ng Sims. i'm so good at setting up virtual lives for my characters that i forget that i'm not in a virtual game and that i'm not the one who actually controls my life. i am just an instrument. i'm not the owner of myself.
and yet i'm still scared coz i'm back to square one. i know that there's a big possibility that i won't be a great success in the fashion industry; i don't really have the artistic talent and the right contacts needed to be the next fashion czar of asia; but i still want to take the risk. it looks like one gigantic katangahan. if you were in my shoes, you know that this is the right path just because you've ran out of options XD
fashion is my passion. but as much as possible i wanted to stay away from the industry. trekking this path would mean going against my ideals with regards to capitalism. grabe, gusto kong maging kapitalista... anubatoooooo... ewan... that's why i'm scared. this is something new and something i'm not confident with.

"For I KNOW the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and FIND me when you seek me with ALL your heart." - Jeremiah 29:11-13 (emphasis mine)
it's really scary not knowing what's in store for me in the future. nakakatawa rin na parang lahat na lang ng mga life altering changes nangyari sakin this year kaya lalung nakakakaba. career. lovelife. faith. ayoko lang magsisi ako sa future. kinakatakot ko kasi na balang araw mamulubi na lang ako. haha ayoko nun. gusto ko madami akong pera para madami rin akong pagkain kasi kailangan ko tumaba XD
