My Faith Goals this Year

In 2010, I prayed that God will help me love Him more amidst all the difficult adjustments I was going thru that were brought about by the Storm Ondoy in 2009.

In 2011, I prayed that I will have more time for my family.

Those prayers were truly answered. So what is now my prayer or prayers for 2012?

This year my ultimate prayer is that God will really use me to touch more people's lives as I share to them the good news of His salvation.

I'm also believing that this year God will make a way for:
1. His love to be felt by all my family members and that they would worship Jesus as their Lord and Savior;
Bible verse Act 16:31: "..believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household."
2. His outpouring of anointing on my son Caleb to excel in wisdom and knowledge not just of the things of the world but of God's grace and love-- that for me are far more valuable than the highest educational degree and that Caleb will truly love Jesus much deeper than his parents ever experienced so that he would truly live to his name for God has spoken in Numbers 14:24 "But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it."
3. His grace, provision, and strength so that I can spend more time with my parents and have more outdoor trips with them like going to Tagaytay, Davao, and Singapore;
Bible verse Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother,.."
4. His abundant provision for a new house and not just an ordinary small house but one with a garden where I can learn to plant and make fertilizers, a library where I can read and study, a music room where I can learn more how to play the keyboards and where Cali can start his drum & guitar lessons, a big kitchen where I can bake and experiment different menus, a playroom not just for Cali but for the entire family, a function room for gatherings/small group activities and parties, and a small pool where Cali and I can learn to swim, in short, I'm believing that God will give me a little mansion here on earth before I go the huge one He prepared for me in heaven since nothing is impossible with Him and that He can give back what the enemy has destroyed; Bible Verse John 10:10 using the New Living Translation, Jesus says:
"The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."
5. His mercy for one more helper when He gives me the new house since I don't think I would want to spend more time cleaning and not enjoying the activities I mentioned above;
Bible verse Proverbs 10:22 in World English Bible translation: "Yahweh's blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."
6. His wisdom to be poured on me as I want to be used mightily in the office to bring about great improvements to help it make a great company, that I would be like Daniel and Joseph, wherever they go, whatever they do, God's Spirit is upon them and God's glory is truly shown in their work;
Bible verses:
Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.."
Daniel 2:20-23:
20 “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”
7. His supernatural strength to be with me as I would want to start a ministry for mothers with little children, to be able to learn and share bonding activities with our very cute toddlers.
I've tried having some mommy talks and activities w/ mommy friends and their families and we have enjoyed them so far. I believe that God has placed in my heart that by His grace I can do some more like reaching out to first time mommies who are working. For now I'd like to call it Project Proverbs 31. What's fueling me up is this verse from Luke 12:48:
"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."
Now my faith goals are a mixture of the things that I'm claiming from God,and some look like goals God has set for me to do. But what I believe in is that God gives us the grace to wait for the things we long for and gives us the grace too to carry out the seemingly impossible things He has set in our hearts to do.
May all my Victory Group sisters help me in praying. May God be glorified in all that we do and achieve!
Let's all have a splendid 2012!
