God's Time is Right Time and Exact Time

God’s timing is perfect in everything. While you are waiting, perhaps wondering why God doesn’t seem to be acting on your behalf, remember that He’s working behind the scenes to prepare His moment of intervention at just the right time. Trust Him. He knows what time it is. - ODB

People are often impatient with so many things these days that even with our relationship with God, we would want it to be instant.  Many times, our limited thinking fails to understand God's timing.  Especially, when our presupposition dictates that we already lack the needed time to finish a certain task.  God's time is always perfect timing and He is always right on time.  We can think God is late and does last minute decisions, but these are only our perceptions because of our limitations as a man.  

God's timing is always to the dot.  It could be God waiting for us to finished His assigned lesson first that relates to the formation of our being before we are allowed to move on.  It could also be God testing our faith in Him, rather than faith on ourselves.  It could also be God allowing other things to unfold first in order to help us go through a smooth transition.  

No matter what, God's time is right and perfect.... and you will only realized this, when such right time has actually come.

Blogging Again

It has been years since I stopped blogging.

After accepting the post as principal of Makati Hope Christian School, I prefer to stop blogging since a position such as principal carries a big responsibility on what I say and how I share my personal thoughts.  I could be a big influence positively and negatively to my students, teachers, parents and co-workers.  So, I prefer to keep my thoughts to myself in order to prevent people from using my post as attacks on me.

Some people in this world are fond of creating stories and adding exaggerated meaning to people's thoughts, and there are those around me who are such.  For the past two years alone, in my FaceBook timeline, there were at least 10 times, busy bodies called up my principal in Hope Christian High School accusing me that my posts were pertaining to her, wanting me and my principal to have misunderstandings and divisions.   There are too many busy bodies today and even has the guts to call themselves Christians.  Good thing, I had a very open communication with my principal.

Blogging is actually a good exercise to review and reflect, which is the best method in adult learning. Blogging allows us to internalize things and internalize our thoughts.  I am going back to blogging because I do believe that it would continue to help me improve myself as a person.  I could also focus my blog in educating people.

Lastly, I am teaching my students in Asian Theological Seminary the importance of blogging.  So, I need to join them in their learning journey in quest for deeper understanding in dissecting our thoughts, experiences and  lessons.
