~~~sweet sorrow~~~

I had a wonderful start of the year and today has been such a long day but I am truly blessed. I do not know why but I woke up quite early - 4am... and so I am glad to start the day right! I had my daily prayer time... bonus... I had rosary since the Radio was airing it... and then my daily devotion and then read the bible... and oh well... been a busy day... but I am doing well and looking forward to my daily marathon of SOAPS... SUPER INGGO... SANA'Y MAULIT MULI... MAGING SINO KA MAN... PRINCESS HOURS. For the longest time I have been living a life of WORK... pretty struggling balancing on how to actually make a living and then enjoy it. And I have to say this... God really made a way of fixing my schedule so I can have a balance life... and little by little... He is fixing it... preparing me for a bigger role: Wife and a Mother... Wohoo... God is good!

New Work to start the year... an answered prayer... good schedule... good working environment... and good pay! hahaha!!! Galing ni God no? (See my Hopes for the Year: Good Career path and more meekness and humbleness.) Wait... there's more...

I attended the first Kerygma Feast of the Year... First HH... First Chapter Assembly... and above all... I am quite grown up now... Hehehe! I am missing Carmen, Elle and Bambi... but I am happy and really blessed having them. Well... God had to take them away from me for me to mature in HIM more... Yeboy!!! More Healing Lord... hay... (See my hopes for the year: More service, financial freedom and more Mission Work.)

I missed my HH... I missed Irvin though... things will be ok soon! (See my Hopes for the year: Emotional maturity and restore broken relationships.)

Above all, I had a good weekend. I went to Ongpin in the morning with my new boss: KRAS! We bought the wedding ring of my brother - Rex. Well, this is quite a test of truly surrendering. Well, I felt disappointed when he broke the news that he is getting married. I felt that it is not the right time yet... I felt tired realizing that I need him to rearrange our lives... but God is good to have change my heart... hay! I have realize... serving my family is a commitment to God... and change is for HIS doing not mine... So there.... I was actually happy doing all the preparations for the wedding! Will probably finish the give aways this weekend.

In the afternoon, Karen and I went to the office to clean up some files... oh! I am glad to have find a friend and a sister in her... Well... she treats me like her Ate... hehehe! Another way of God's wonderful plan in preparing me. Karen is a very sweet lady... nice and vibrant... and I really hope we can be together forever...

The highlight of the day... and my High for the week... RA got married to Bopeep yesterday.. we had the celebration last Saturday at Grilla, Libis... I felt proud and overwhelmed that He finally decided to settle down... hay... Swerte talaga ng mga Girls nila... Sam on the other hand is actually serious with Leizel... but above all... Erick and I were actually happy that all is well with me and Lally - his wife! It's been a year after all the commotions... Hay... she felt sorry for what she have done and I have truly forgiven her since then, and it was an answered prayer that she will finally accepts me as Erick's Best Friend (See my Hopes for the year: Emotional maturity and restore broken relationships.)

My Sunday was enriching as well... The Rainbow Conference was another affirmation on how God is preparing me... Hay! (See my Hopes for the year: Emotional maturity and restore broken relationships.) It was a teaching of the 7 Virtues of a Womanhood as represented in the colors of the Rainbow... Galing no... this is the beauty of having a community who will help you in your spiritual walk: from Infancy to Old Age!

Well, how can I not claim the victory now? I am winning... because CHRIST already won the battle for me... and I know I will continue winning... as Long as I seek HIS FORGIVENESS AND HEALING... in because HIS Grace means "you don't have to run anymore..."

ang haba na nito... more in the coming days...
