When I was a kid, I'm dreaming of being an astronaut. It was a "selfish" dream of me. I just want fame and money. Then, when I'm in high school, when I started to watch GMA Docu's, I dream of becoming a Doctor to be able to go to the different barrios here in the Philippines. I was wondering if I could help people specially those who cant afford to pay for a doctor's service. I was really really touched by these kind of people and ofcourse, by their stories. When I'm in 4th year, I dream of becoming a psychologist/sociologist (any field related in this kind of social science) to be able to help people with their lives.
But here I am, a 4th year IT student. Gadgets, gizmos and computers are surrounding me. I might be a part of those people who JUST makes other's lives easier. Not a part of those people who could help to change lives. But, ofcourse, life is a matter of choice, it's still up to me- how will I be able to help people.. people who are in need.
I believe that God put me in this kind of field. I find it enjoyable as I learn to love the course where He put me. No wonder, that God will help me to boost my career and give me a job where I can earn more than what I can think.
But.. I am not living my life for myself alone... not anymore. What will I do with money?[Well ofcourse, I want to pay my parents back more from what they had given me. ] When all of my life, God had teach me to live by faith. What will I do with fame? If all I want to do now is to live my life in a way that others may know Christ.
Oh well, oh well... my life is about my purpose on earth. It's about what God is directing me to do. It's about knowing Him and letting others know Him. It's not about myself. It's not about my own ambitions.. not my own dreams.. But the dreams that He had inspired me...
My life that has been full or storms.. storms that gives me the opportunity to trust Him.
My life is to love others.. So that others may feel how deeply Christ had loved me.
Yeah, my life is not yet fulfilled. But it was already filled by His love and grace. So, I am here.. fulfilling the life He's planning for me.
