Hello 2015!

It is the last day of December, and the last day of the year! As we all know, when a year ends, another one begins. Around this time, people usually make lists of things they want to change about them and be resolved about really doing them in the New Year. 

This our first New Year celebration together as hubby and wifey, and we've decided to start a tradition of making list of things-to-accomplish in the next twelve months, only that they arrive at something quite different. Instead of resolutions, these lists draw less focus on ourselves and aim to magnify the goodness and faithfulness of God in our lives. 

We thought of a lot, but we only jotted down those which are really important. To guarantee that, we prayed so that we will produce a list that is borne out of the Spirit’s leading, and not by our own unguarded and deceitful heart, and limited mind.

So here’s a temporary list I made for 2015 in no particular order. :)

God has planned out the best for us, and we don’t want to trade that in for our own petty requests. But in order to really understand this, one must always start by asking Jesus to come into his/her heart. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." 

Go and do that today and believe for an encounter with Him. Who knows, this might just be your best year yet.

Happy New Year Everybody!!!

Expecting Great Things From God,

 

Our First Merry Christmas

Why was this Christmas extra special? 

Because it’s our FIRST as husband and wife! Yey! :)

Since our families are both tight-knit, Percy and I had to plan which part of the Christmas holidays should be spent with his family and which should be with mine. We decided to be with his family on Christmas eve for Noche Buena which was celebrated in our house, and Christmas Day was with my family.

Christmas is such a joyous time of year. It's a time filled with wonder and excitement. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we should keep our focus on the true meaning of the season - the celebration of Jesus' birth.

"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)

Happy Holidays, everyone! :)

Cheers,

 

Welcome Back Sister Joyce!

Joyce was one of the closest friends I have. I met her during HGHF at Word of Hope through Percy. They have known each other because they were schoolmates during their High School days. Since then she was always with me on my journey of being a Born Again Christian; we’re always together attending Church services and fellowship in our ministry, the Young Professionals Circle. We became very close as days goes by thus, I was so sad when she told me that she will be working abroad.

And I can still remember the day she left, I was like a child crying a lot. Haha! It really hurts knowing that I will not see and be with her for 2 years. :(

Our last bonding before she left

It’s almost 2 years have passed, and now she’s back. I’m so happy! :) Knowing she’s home now, I am so excited to see her and bond with her again. I missed her so much and praise God He gave us time to be with each other after those lonely years of mine. Hehe! The first thing we did? Bonding with hubby before he goes to work and we attended our Midweek service in Church.

Hope to have more and longer bonding time together soon after her errands and busy days. So happy to see you again sister!!! :)
