The Overthinker Introvert.


These past couple of weeks, I've been very busy. I don't even know if 'very busy' is the best term to describe my current status. But, I'm still okay. I think I can still handle everything. 

Being a self-confessed introvert, it's exhausting to live in a world made for extroverts. Every day is a struggle. But what makes it even worse is that I'm an overthinker. I'm not sure if this is a common trait for the other introverts but it is the worst combo to have. Well, I guess, I'm that lucky.

Again, I'm okay. Or am I? No, I really am. I don't want to cause more confusion. I. AM. OK. I'm trying to be.

Lord, 

I know You are there watching over me. Help me understand why. Help me to be more understanding and loving. 

Amen.

At Peace.


Recently, I've been very vocal about how satisfied I am. I kind of feel like things are in the places where I want them to be. I still overthink but it's not like how I used to do it. It seemed like I'm in a totally new person.

God answered my prayers. Before I realized how He granted each one of my heart's desires, He prepared me to be here; to experience the life that I've been praying for the last couple of months.

Everyday, I still struggle to face new challenges but there's this new energy in me that makes me feel spiritually strong. I still get drained, stressed out, frustrated and unloved but there's this unexplained hope in me that continues to hold and believe that everything's going to be fine.

God is indeed in control of everything. When we feel like we're about to give up, pray. Because that's what I did. The problems just kept on coming every single day and I just kept on praying.

Let me share a beautiful line that struck me from the recently concluded Liveloud 2017, a Catholic praise concert:


This is true. I don't have to know what my future is, I just have to trust Him because I know He has great plans for me.

Lord,

Thank you for all the blessings. Thank you for giving me the peace that I've been longing for. Thank you for granting all my prayers despite of the sins that I still continue to commit. You are indeed a Forgiving, Understanding and Loving God.

Help me, Lord, to overcome all the trials and my personal battles against sin. Guide me to become a good example to my fellow Christians.

Amen.
