I Put My Trust in Jesus

"I TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL OF MY HEART."

I have accepted Jesus as both my Savior and Lord. He is my Savior because He died for my sins that separated me from God. He is my Lord because He leads the direction of my life. I have turned over everything and allowed Him to lead my life.

"I LEAN NOT ON MY OWN UNDERSTANDING."

Jesus said that He is, "The Alpha and the Omega" (Revelation 1:8). That means as God, He can see the beginning of all things as clearly as He can see the ending. With this knowledge, He is uniquely qualified to lay out a plan for my life. Jesus isn't making up things as He goes along. He knows where each and every step I take will lead.

"IN ALL MY WAYS, I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM."

I include Jesus, I seek His will, in all aspects of my life - not just the big decisions. I pray for His leadership, I have to read the Bible (What does the Bible say about a decision I am about to make? God communicates to me through His Word - James 1:22), and I have to see what circumstances He put before me to influence my decision (That could mean advice from a friend or hearing a message at church or events could take place that leads me one way or the other).

"AND HE WILL MAKE MY PATH STRAIGHT."

Life is hard to understand sometimes. Things happen to me every day that make me ask, "Why is it like this?" I must remember though that things don't make sense to me because of my perspective. I am seeing life one event at a time. So often, life seems to be a set of random events that aren't connected. But, the Lord knows how everything will turn out. From His perspective He sees how events are connected and promises that, "all thing work together for the good of those who love God" (Romans 8:28). Some lives are harder than others. I don't know why that is - only Jesus knows that - but I do know that no matter what life brings me, I won't be going through it alone. Jesus will be with me every step of the way.

Abdominal Epilepsy?

The other day, I encountered an uncommon medical diagnosis, abdominal epilepsy. Maybe I was absent when this was taught in med school or maybe it was mentioned but it just didn't register in my memory bank. Anyway, for those colleagues who haven't heard of this as well, here's what I found out about it, so that next time you are faced with a weird abdominal pain, you will think of abdominal epilepsy as a differential. There are many medical causes of abdominal pain; abdominal epilepsy is one of the rare causes. From a medical perspective, the term epilepsy refers not to a single disease, but to a group of symptoms with numerous causes. The common factor in all forms of epilepsy is an excessive electrical excitability of the brain. The increased excitation is called a seizure and may manifest as a partial or total loss of consciousness and muscle spasms or other involuntary movements. Many conditions can produce epilepsy. For example, a genetic predisposition is...

"Ganacity"

If there's one word that I will never forget from my AGSB experience, it's "ganacity"! A word frequently mentioned by our FinMan professor. What does it mean? It's a combination of the tagalog word "gana" (appetite, zest) and the english suffix "city" which converts an adjective word into a noun. 'Ganacity' therefore refers to one's state of desire or interest in something. I am sharing this because I feel that my 'ganacity' for what I am doing now is spiralling down, and it is so difficult to reverse it back up or just to keep it at a maintained level. It is becoming a struggle on a day to day basis. I am hoping that night and day will alternate fast so that this battle will end soon.

The Beauty of Giving

It is heartwarming to read how people are coming together to help and support all those involved in this war against the corona virus 19. Indeed, the blessing in this crisis is the transparency of people and the willingness to help those in need without a second thought. We have proven once again that we can care beyond ourselves. Hopefully though, this selflessness goes beyond the end of this pandemic. Giving sincerely is powerful not only for the heart but also for the mind and soul. It provides an intrinsic reward that’s far more valuable than the gift. It’s ‘finding one’s self by losing it in the service of others. As we nest in the comforts of our home, let us continuously find ways to help others in even small and meaningful ways.
