While I was attending a two day training in Manila, I've been too reflective of the weeks that passed. It was on the last day that I felt a strong presence which prompted me to write this. I was on the verge of tears as I was jotting this down...

Lord,
With all my heart, I thank you for the new lease of life you breathed into me as I continually search and eventually embraced Your greatness. There were times in the past that I felt spiriatually drained which made me too egoistic, and shallow. Then, you lovingly extended your grace and a great sense of belongingness enveloped me which brought me to realization that there's an enormous purpose of my life besides barely existing.
Every waking hours, every blessings I receive with a grateful heart, I praise you my Lord. Passion is burning inside me that propels and fuels the drive to excel in evrything I do for your Glory. My motivation comes from You.  Thank you so much for this heavenly feeling of achieving what life is to offer by being the best I could be.
Please guard my thoughts, my mouth that I may not offend anybody. Pls. remind me to be humble at all times. I can do nothing without You. Please lead me to your will....
