This morning, I woke up feeling less energetic than usual.
Still, I pushed myself to do at least 30 minutes of cardio while watching a sermon on YouTube.
After finishing my cardio, I was tempted to do just one upper body exercise and call it a day—but that didn’t happen. Instead, I ended up completing four sets. Then, I noticed the Smith machine was available, so I told myself I’d just do four sets of squats and be done. But in the end, I also did deadlifts and back rows.
Wow... I could hardly believe it! What started as my most sluggish morning turned into a full session of heavy exercises.
The best part of my day, though, was on my way home. While riding the bus, I watched a sermon by Fr. Frankie on YouTube about God's providence and timing. He reminded us that we don’t need to strive anxiously—God has already prepared and ordered everything in His perfect timing, not just for our good, but for our maximum good and for His maximum glory.
If He acted according to our timing, things might turn out well, but they wouldn’t be the best for us.
Fr. Frankie illustrated this with a personal story: a moment of misjudgment—beating a yellow traffic light—unexpectedly led him to take his driving instructor back to church, ultimately changing the belief of an atheist.
Listening to his story deeply moved me. It felt like an affirmation that God will use me and my life for the greatest good—both for myself, those around me, and for His glory.
Right now, He is preparing everything. I may not see the full picture yet, but I trust that all I need to do is say Yes and surrender to His plan, His providence, and His perfect timing.
