we are all unique.
what works for some (e.g. living simply, living abroad, putting a religious
spin on everything) will not necessarily work for others. let's respect one
another's individuality and review what we post to make sure we're not (or we
don't seem to be) passing quick and uncalled-for judgments.
all we can do is try
our best. and of course, this is not enough. but if we know that we already did
our part (the discerning, the planning, the preparing), then we can just let go
of the worries and let God take care of the rest (the challenges, the
opportunities to serve Him, etc). feel what's in the heart. if you feel the
need to experience something different, then go. if there's a sense of
something that needs to be taken care of in the Philippines
some excess
thoughts...
you have to recognize
your strengths and weaknesses, and live life maximizing your strengths and
talents. then if things still don't work, just continue moving on. keep the
faith that it's better to have gone out to try the unknown than to be stuck in
your comfort zone. and believe that there's a good reason for whatever turns
out in the end. =)
just had to post this here to serve as a good reminder, that even if there are different details involved, all of the above still apply in this current year of 2020.
