The Greatest Blessing God Has Given Me--Next to Salvation!:)

Making my family proud is one of my goals in life. But for some reason I'd always fail to do that. I know that all they want is for me to have the best things in life. It always hurts me when I fail, because at the same time I disappoint them.--BUT!Ever since I'm back with God, things changed!:)

While I was on the stage of being so in love,I thought that everything was fine with my relationship with my family. But I wasn't aware that little by little,I was already distancing myself from them.Until my very heartbreaking time came(hehe!:D),and that's the time that I realized that everything's not right.I was so blind that I thought I was doing okay with my family.But NO!I wasn't spending time with them anymore,I was so far from them.Then there!Everything just hit me!God didn't want me to just be back to Him,but He also wants me back to my family. Immediately,I promised myself and to God that now, I will do everything to make my family proud of me. After that promise,I've been doing everything to be responsible and hardworking.NOW,I am so glad to say that I'm making them proud of me!:) PRAISE GOD!:D Just last June 12,2011 I was asked to give my testimony about the Ignite Conference(will be writing about it soon!:D) in our church in Victory Malate.One of my sisters were there and her fiance and my mom(it's her 2nd time to attend there and it made me feel amazed in God again!:D). That moment was unforgettable.GOD IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING.I could see in my mom's eyes that she is so proud of me.I could feel my sister's heart that she is so proud of me too!:D

Then my sisters tweeted me these.These tweets are PRECIOUS.They are PRICELESS.It made my heart cry!TEARS OF JOY!:) 

God has blessed me with such wonderful family,and I'd never ever ask for more.I am satisfied with the family that He has given me.This is where I want to be.Making them happy is what makes me happy.Making them proud is what makes me feel joyful.Now that I know that I'm on the right path,I'd continue to walk this journey.I know that there will be times that I will fail again and disappoint them, but it doesn't mean that I will stop there!I WILL NOT STOP BECAUSE THEIR LOVE IS THE REASON WHY I AM FIGHTING.AS LONG AS THERE IS LOVE,I WILL KEEP FLYING HIGH.I KNOW THAT THEY BELIEVE IN ME,AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE STRONG IN THIS LIFE.

A lot of people around me had hurt me,and God has provided me with great heroes in my life, they are my protectors; Papa,Mama,Dichi,Achi,Darcy & Taffy. 

My family is the greatest blessing God has given me in this life-next to my salvation :) 

The Beginning In An Ending

I was this girl who wanted to have her own fairy tale, I just wanted to be a princess.Not just because of the castle and all the perks of it, but it's also because of the prince charming who'd save me from this lonely planet.

When the time came that God gave me my prince--or I thought he was,everything just changed!I was madly and deeply in love for that 10 months of being with that prince. I thought he was the one, the right one, the prince that God has given me, but NO!He's never been the right one. God always has a purpose in every season of our lives. God is also a jealous God-in a good way of course!He gave me that prince that I've been dreaming of,but God got it from me again, because it wasn't a right relationship, not the right time and not the right prince.Our story wasn't a "and they lived happily ever after" ending.It was like,I was trapped in the dark woods, trying to find my way back in my castle, but I couldn't.All I wanted was that prince to come back and get me out of that place and save me again. But it didn't happen.After almost 2 months of being trapped in the dark woods, waiting, crying,not eating properly and being just lost. GOD just took my hands and pulled me up and said "My princess,it's time.Get up.I am here.Come." Out of nowhere,He suddenly showed me the light, and that light made me see the path-the right path. That light made me shine again.

When God called me,I told myself and Him that I want to really start from nothing. I want everything to be new.So,I started living my new life by going to U-Night--it's the youth service of Victory Christian Fellowship in Malate.That was November 5,2010, and I only knew 2 people who go there during that time.Although we all came from the same high school and we attended same summer camps,they were from higher batches so,we weren't really friends, just acquaintances. That Friday,I texted one of them if he was still there and he said yes.I got there late,so he told me to sit at the back first. God is just the best Author of life!He knows what you need!The speaker(Pastor Daniel-whom at that time,I don't know who he was) asked everyone to form circles and it's like an activity of getting to know each other. Everyone was already standing up and forming circles, then my friend grabbed me and told me that he'll introduce me to his La Salle friends, and I should not worry because they are all nice. Indeed!He's right.I've met so many people that night,I didn't get to memorize their names, because they were a lot of them!But there's one woman that I will never forget she's my discipler now and God really used her to heal me, and until now He is still using her to me mold my relationship with Him, to help me focus on Him!:) That night I told God,"GOD,THANK YOU SO MUCH!I AM BACK.THIS IS MY NEW HOME.I AM HOME."

After that night, everyday, every hour, every minute, every second of my life just keep on getting better and better.I've met so many wonderful people, and until now I still meet new wonderful people in the Cluster(small groups for CSB and DLSU students) and outside and inside the church. They've been helping me grow into who I am now, they've been helping me see what God wants me to do, they've been helping me to know my purpose. They've welcomed me wholeheartedly and they've never judged me. They care for me and they love me like a true family. They are all helping me build my relationship with God. They are my new family in Christ and this is where I want to be. I am still here because of these people.With their help,I am glad that I am serving God now.HONOR GOD AND MAKE DISCIPLES.

It's also because of God's grace and mercy that He's using them to show me that THERE'S SOMETHING MORE BEYOND THIS WORLD and it's also because of His love that made me accept my calling.He's just amazing at how He used people around us to mold us into a better person and a better follower of Christ. He always use people around us to show us His light in this dark world, He always makes me feel in awe.

Now..God told me that I AM A TRUE PRINCESS, and not just an ordinary and temporary princess. I AM HIS PRINCESS, ALWAYS AND FOREVER,and I deserve His right prince for me in His right time. But for now,I don't need my prince,all I need is God.HE COMPLETES ME,and I will wait patiently for His right time.I'm already saved from that dark forest, not only by a prince charming, but by a King who rules the world, who is the Highest and Mightiest of all!:)

-God is the Author of relationship.

-Relationship will not complete you.ONLY GOD WILL.

-Before you enter into a relationship, you should have a completer relationship with God.

-Not just fight in the relationship, but fight for the relationship.

-Relationship goes with the right season.

-Relationship does not define you. Don't let it be your identity.

-Marriage is the 2nd best relationship you'll have,after your relationship with God.

-IT'S NOT "AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER",IT'S "AND THEY MADE GOD HAPPY EVER AFTER".

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

(Proverbs 31:30)

I Was Brokenhearted

---That's my turning point.
After that season,my world just turned downside-up! Oh yes!I am so glad that it happened. I'm not regretting anything. I was just the girl who fell in love with the wrong guy in the wrong time. I don't hate anyone,in fact, I thank all those people who've hurt me, because if it weren't for them I won't be able to stand where I am now. But of course, praise God for the indescribable things He has done to me, and to the things that He's still doing. I won't get tired of telling the story of my life that brought me back to God,my Father,my Savior,my Healer,my Best Friend.
Did I get angry because God took away the guy that I loved?NO.
Am I getting angry at God now,because I've been waiting for that prince charming to come?NO.

Life is about being patient and having faith in God.It's all about Him and waiting for and on Him.

After everything that I've been through God has been just faithful and He's unchanging love makes my heart overflow.He took something away from me, but He keeps on giving me more than what I had before.

(From the book "The One Year Mini for women")

WHY DOESN'T GOD FULFILL HIS PROMISES MORE QUICKLY?

WHY MUST I WAIT FOR THEM TO COME TRUE?

GOD'S RESPONSE

☆ All these faithful ones died without receiving what God had promised them, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed the promises of God.(Hebrews 11:13)

☆Those who wait on the Lord will find new strength.(Isaiah 40:31)

☆As for me,I look to the Lord for his help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me.(Micah 7:7)

Many great people of God have died without seeing God's promises fulfilled, yet they believed that every promise would eventually be realized. Faith in God's promises does not require that you see al his promises fulfilled in your lifetime. Some of God's promises will be fulfilled in heaven, and each of his promises will be good. Your waiting is never in vain because it makes you strong and confident for the future.

GOD'S PROMISE

☆You must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will continue to live in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.(1 John 2:24-25)

In my next entries,I will be writing about life.
I just want to let everything out. Everything that God has been doing in my life!:)
