Hi There!

Just a quick update. I know I've been away for quite some time but that doesn't mean that I've forgotten all about you. Never a day passed without me saying a short prayer for all my blogger friends. I miss y'all! I still haven't checked out your sites, but I promise I will. I just need a little more time.

Our business is doing fine. We've already established our client base and things are pretty much going uphill. My partner and I had a lot of disagreements in the beginning and we argue a lot, but thank God I think we're both getting pass that. Everything was made possible with God's help.

Jec and I are still going strong in spite of the distance. We call each other everyday and I'm kinda scared to look at my phone bill when it arrives. Hehe... Jec is growing more and more in God and I'm so proud of him. He helps me a lot in staying strong and firm in my faith. God bless him!

Today... in my 33 years of existence, I thank God for all His blessings. I may not have everything in life but I sure am blessed and truly happy for all that I have. It's kinda sad though because I won't be able to celebrate my birthday with my husband and my entire family (except for my dad, he's busy with some things he needs to finish). They're all out of the country and I'm home alone... =(

Anyway, thank y'all for sharing this day with me. I love y'all and God bless.

Taking A Big Step

I am saying goodbye to my job on the 23rd. It has been five years that I've been with the company. So much has happened, both good and challenging, which made me who I am today. Jec and I prayed and discussed things through and finally decided that I concentrate on the business we just started recently. Although it made me feel bad leaving behind some friends and the work that I've been so used to, this move is definitely for our advancement. Yeah, bittersweet, you can call it that. It's a big step I'm taking and we're going out of our comfort zone, trusting God for His blessings and provisions. We've received help from people we haven't met in person and we're determined to make this work so we could help others, in return, as well. God has blessed us in so many ways and we'd like to bless others too.

Another sad side of this story is, since I need to focus first on our newly opened business, my blogging will have to take a backseat for a while. That means I won't be able to go visit your sites as well... so sad. I really need to do this and I hope you'd understand. I'll sure miss all of you. I hope to see you again when I come back.

God bless y'all. You'll be in my prayers. Till next time... c",)

God Will Take Care Of Us

As I sit on my desk this very moment, there's so many things going on in my mind. There's so many decisions that I have to make and so many things that I need to consider. Early this morning, I called up Jec to see how he was. He seem okay at first but I sensed that he's trying not to sound like he's been crying. His voice began to crack though, undeniably, when he started telling me how much he misses me and how much he misses taking care of me. I told him not to worry because God will take care of us. At that point in time, I needed to be strong for him. There were times, though, when I was the one who'd feel so down and hopeless and he'd tell me the same thing -- "Babe, don't worry, God will take care of us."

My best friend, Jen, would always tell me how blessed I am to have someone like Jec for a husband. She would even jestingly ask if Jec has a twin brother because she'd love to marry his twin. I've realized how blessed I am from the moment we got married, I never stopped thanking God for giving him to me as my lifetime partner. Surely, God gives you the best when you are willing to wait. I know Jec reads my blog from time to time and I'd like to send this message across.

"Babe, we may be going through rough roads sometimes but we do see God's
goodness in our lives. He opens a window for us to peak and allows us see
what's on the other side of the fence, so our hope will be renewed. I know that we miss each other terribly but as you always say, God will take care of us
and I believe He will. Whenever you feel down and lonely, just
remember that I love you very much and I miss you. I'm always praying for
you. Take care of yourself and I'll see you soon. God bless."

Temptation

When you are doing God's will, the more the enemy will come and taunt you. Have you noticed that? Satan always chooses just the right time to attack us and He knows when to pull the rug out from under us. This is exactly what happened to me this morning.

I fasted last night and spent time with God, woke up from a good night sleep, went to office and called up my husband as I always do every morning (thanks, Jolly, for creating my new VoIP account). I was determined to do whatever is right today and guess what, the enemy did his best to ruin everything for me. Nice try though. Sure, I got annoyed a few times, but I didn't give him the satisfaction of getting me in bondage again. I knew he was trying to get me to do what I would usually do when I'm pissed. He knew exactly how to tick me off. But he failed to get what he wanted.

Temptation will always knock at our doors but when it does, let's make sure to let Jesus answer it.

Goodbyes Are Not Always Forever 2

Hubby left again yesterday. It was actually the same month when he left last year. I wasn't really prepared emotionally for this, well, I guess I never will be no matter how often this happens. There's just so many things I'd be missing about him...

We were busy packing his things last Saturday, but I was in denial. After we attended the service in the afternoon, our cell members gave him a small get-away party then they prayed for us and his trip. Back home as we were getting ready for bed, it dawned on me that this was for real, my husband's leaving the next day. That's when the heavy waterworks all started.

Today, I'm waiting for his call and praying that all is well with him.

Babe, take care and always remember that I love you very much, I always will. God bless.
