Livin' only by Grace

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don...

seasons... seasons... seasons... Another chapter... Another season... I'm only holding on to Your Grace... I know I will get through... and soar high!

We were accompanied by two couples a while ago to Ongpin to buy our wedding ring... We only have 5k at hand but the ring's for 8k... Ate Joy covered for the amount that we lack... but later on, she said that we dont have to pay it back! Then Ate Helen also brought her wedding gown... I tried to put it on and surprisingly, it fits me well! I dont know what to say or think of... We were not raised to borrow from someone or ask for someone's help but God has His own way of providing for His children's needs... We may not expect it but He has His own way of hitting two birds with one stone--providing for your needs and teaching you some of His principles. I was just humbled by this experience... Indeed, He never forgets... His promise remains!

Come like a flood And saturate me now... You're all I want... Come like the wind and sweep throughout this place... You're all we want... I was dreaming I was handling a CST class again then I woke up haha! It put a smile on my face... training... It's my birthday and I was dreaming of being in front of the class haha! Good thing I'm on leave tonight. I took my phone, I had 5 messages... then I checked facebook and replied to those who greeted me but for some reason, my comments didn't post... While I was browsing on facebook, I was thanking God for giving me another year... This is my 25th year and I can say, indeed, I am blessed... Blessed to have a family, few but good close friends, and a special someone who's always been there for me... I can't ask for anything more! I can't even think of a gift when RJ asked me what gift would I like... hehe but I still asked God for something... I asked that He enlarge my territory... That I may be the s...

I listed down my faith goals for this year when I joined the prayer and fasting last week. One of my faith goals is promotion. In our company, for you to be promoted, you have to meet certain requirements like 8 EEs in a 12-month period. (I know it's a jargon but EE simply means Exceed Expectation hehe). So you have to have 8 EEs (1 EE per month, not necessarily consecutive months) or so for you to be promoted from being a Process Associate to a Process Developer. I am yet to complete the 8 EEs but when by Boss and I had our coaching session two days ago, she said she already submitted my name for the promotion! Hooooray! I'm just stunned and I really don't know what to say. I'm just but grateful that God answered my prayers even though I still need one more EE. He is indeed the God of impossibilities! He's just amazing! You just have to believe and claim your inheritance! Indeed it is already there even before you ask =)

Dawn always fascinates me.. . ^^, I just can't help but stand in awe of Him every morning.. .wanting to ask Him how He did that.. . haha.. . ( that's the very reason why I don't get tired of waking up early in the morning.. . I can witness His awesome greatness through the clouds.. .) I feel so special having that privilege to witness the breaking of the dawn. .haha.. . i don't know.. it's as if He's telling me, "My child, look at my creation.. .I created this for you...to make you smile.. . to relive your worries.. .if only you'll look at it.. . and appreciate it.. ." (well, not everyone can see the next sunshine.. .) everyday, while inside the bus, I can see the breaking of dawn to my right.. . and the latter part of the evening to my left.. .standing in between, i feel like i'm in the middle of two different points in time.. .haha! ^^, so cool.. . and it's very relaxing.. .how I wish I have a camera that could capture the beauty of dawn....
