Probably a Defining Moment.

Growing older through the recent past years, I’ve felt that I am slowly becoming less passionate in life. I have a plan but I am not too excited about it. I didn’t immediately notice it but I became complacent and didn’t have the sense of urgency to work towards my life goal of growth and happiness. I’ve been thinking about it but the answer has not come to me. I discerned a little but for some reason God’s answer has not reached me - like it’s been blocked. Looking back, it’s because I wasn’t really listening properly and was fixated already to the mediocre future plan I have in mind - something safe, simple, doable even without much effort. But at the back of my head I also know it’s not gonna reignite my dwindling passion/purpose in life nor will it assure me of growth and happiness. Basically, I continued moving towards that plan because it was easy.

Then I had an opportunity to make a bigger decision. It was unnecessary for my simplistic plan but it made a lot of sense in some aspects so I went on with it. Truthfully, I didn’t give it much thought. I remember a friend messaged me saying she knows I prayed about it. I felt a little sick in my stomach reading it because I did not. Usually I would undergo discernment for key decisions and events in my life. I made a rash decision and looking back, I don’t know why. There was no need to do that - no pressure whatsoever. And then God made sure to tighten the reins because I am going out of control already.

I have to find my way back. I reached a point where I already let myself wallow in sadness and self-pity. Then of course, God stepped-in and gave me something that could help. The greatest gifts I receive from God are not always rainbows and butterflies that magically alleviate my problems. It usually comes in the form of experiences and insights, which I noticed is usually random/unexpected. So yes - I got one again. It doesn’t come with a sign that this is it but I would always recognize it in time. And when I do - I would ask God why did He give it to me. Back tracking a bit - I adapted this prayer/communication method since the silent retreat and it worked effectively for me throughout the years, as long as I am ready to listen and open to receive grace (yes, I am not an atheist). It has never failed me. I am writing this down so I will be reminded and because I feel like it’s going to be one of the defining moment that I would go back to later on.

I was temporarily given something I want that I never acknowledged. So I never asked for it - under the pretense that I don’t really need it. But in reality it’s mainly because I feel like I don’t deserve it. I think God was fed up with me and decided to give me a lesson - I guess it was the perfect opportunity too considering my predicament. I was given what I want - something that made me more alive than I’ve been in the past years - excited, hopeful, determined. Hell - I forgot about my profit forecast and that’s saying something considering the past 4 months. But it was short-lived or at least about to end because it had served its main purpose. I.e. made me realize how it feels good when I have what I want and need both. And that what I was doing is totally not towards my growth and happiness. So I better drag my lazy ass back on track. It will also made me not regret my decisions because it has led me to His gifts.

A part of me wants to beg God for it not to be taken away from me - that it’s just the beginning and I would still need to do lots of work and have tough times ahead anyway. But I will still discern about it :) For now I have to believe that I deserve the good things too and that I will have to start asking for it, and yeah - maybe humbly beg too.

adrien agreste will NOT be the boyfriend you’re bringing to the girls sleepover movie night. he will NOT be an accomplice to that kind of behavior. he loves and prioritizes friendship far too deeply to even step foot into the sacred space of a girls’ night. he would rather chain himself to a tree ella-enchanted style than compromise the security of a friendship ritual. he’s not coming. stop asking.

Tonight, Henry's silly and warm and ready, his body quick and smooth to give Alex what he's looking for, laughing and incredulous at his own responsiveness to touch. Alex leans down to kiss him, and Henry murmurs into the corner of his mouth, "Ready when you are, love."
