Philippians 1:21 (NIV):
For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 

Full of confusion, that's how my life is. It is like living in this world gives me pure confusion. Why am I here? Do I really belong here? What is the purpose of my existence? Those questions didn't leave me even when I reached my 20s, not until I read the inspirational book of a poet and a novelist, Ate J.Z. Romeo, entitled "Words for the Soul." There, I read her Living Testimony poem, and honestly, that poem answered my confusion in a way that it gave me the message that I am here in this world to be a living testimony for all the people. Or I can say that I am legit proof of how good God is. 

My life before is the life that I don't want to have again. It's full of negativity, gives me a stressful mindset, and even puts my life in danger, which leads me to blame God. And that's because I don't have Him in my life; my trust in Him is weak and doesn't have a strong foundation. I was blinded because I didn't give Him a chance to take over the things that I couldn't handle, and I don't believe Him because I don't see Him. Funny, right? But that's how my life was before. 

But everything changes now, and it happens because I believe Him first for myself to see. to see His kindness, sacrifices, and unending love for me. I believe that's why I see. And here I am, a living testimony of His glory through my experiences. I also believe that to live is in Christ, and I'm willing to die to share Christ's words with the world.
