It's a New Month
Can't believe January is over. It feels like yesterday when we ushered the new year, all with high hopes, resolutions and plans for the year.
Keeping just one resolution works for me, i think.
Stewardship.
Tribe - I have been consciously looking for Made in the Philippines in all my purchases. Except for one, though. One night, we passed by the Fort, I suddenly felt craving for Sonja's cupcake. Sonja's cupcake with all its goodness and cost is a luxury for me. So we stopped by Serendra to get some cupcake. While I was at the store, I noticed several mini American flags displayed all over. Its as if I was transported to another place and I did not feel right. Was it because I was breaking my resolution? Or was it I was disappointed thinking that it's something Filipino made which I can be proud of but I was wrong.
Treasure - we had a good start on giving our tithes to our church. It's the attitude of giving that you acknowledge that God can meet and even surpass all your needs.
Territory - We have never used our aircon for the whole month. That means we help reduced carbon dioxide emission and that's our share for our environment. I just hope everyone realizes that we need to sacrifice a little for our Mother Earth and even for our own sake.
Time - I will not give myself a passing mark here. I am still struggling to make use of my time wisely. I know there are still wasted time, so I just have to be productive during idle times.
Talent - I have been teaching in Sunday School for the past three weeks. I hope that kids will learn more about Jesus as I try to share my knowledge to them.
Tradition - hmm...maybe it's time to begin a family tradition that we can pass on to the coming generations....
That's it...so far so good...

Be it Resolved
As 2008 ends, I promised myself that for 2009, I will resolve only on one item so that I can focus on getting it done and that is Stewardship - of time, talent, treasure, tribe, territory and tradition.
I will use my time wisely.
I will seek opportunities to offer my talents to the Lord.
I will be accountable for all the treasures God will provide us.
I will be proud to be a Filipino and will buy Filipino.
I will look after God given territory and
I will honor and observe family and Filipino tradition.
