wedding bells... soon to ring ^_^

            I went to divisoria yesterday with my friends Leree and Sarah. It was our first time to go there together, but it was not the usual "divisoria shopping" thing. We went there to have our stats taken by one of the designer for our gown that Sarah and I will wear on Leree's wedding on December. ^_^
            I am so excited for the wedding and be one of the privileged to be a part of it as a bridesmaid. Im also excited for the bride, we've been friends for a long time already and she has been my discipler since i became a christian. Everytime i hear her love story, i cant help but be blessed on how God created it. Truly it is really different when you learn to entrust God your lovelife and allow Him to do things according to His plans. 
            Im such a losser when it comes to the matters of the heart or "lovelife." I always do things my way. But when i personally became a witness of their lovestory, i was really inspired and i realized that it can really happen. I hear stories of chirstian couples, on how God created their lovestory, but its different when the one telling the story is your friend. =) I saw how Leree, waited patiently on God's timing and how they kept themselves pure and served the Lord together. I also remembered Rica Peralejo's story... i am so blessed with their wedding and her story as well. 
            Seeing these christian couples doesnt make me envy, though i also long to have that kind of story as well. Waiting is one of my weaknesses, but their testimonies gives me hope that someday i will also meet that someone who will be with me for the rest of my life and God will be the author of our lovestory. 
with Sarah 


Me oh me
on our way to divisoria

going home

Ride on the Road

---- tseeeneeen!!!! 
        After how many months of thinking if i'll make my own blog site or not... i've finally came to a conclusion of having one. And obviously this is the solid evidence /slash/ proof of that conclusion.  
        Just a background of what brought me to that conclusion.
       A lot of things happened in my life in the past year... things i've never forseen will happen in my life. It was like a roller coaster plus the MRT, the LRT, the jeepney and bus ride. Asking me why these rides?...  

       >>>>Roller coaster: full of ups and downs, loops and turns...breathtaking..even came to a point that  i don't want to open my eyes anymore. When you're there..its like having an emotional ride..at first you're excited then when the excitement goes out... you feel so scared, frightened..and you want to tell whoever's operating the thing to STOP. and after the ride... you don't want to try it again..you regret that you even tried. (this only apply to some ^_^). 
       >>>>MRT and LRT: as we all know riding them means...loooonnng line, waiting... getting close to people you don't want to be close to you at all..feels like shouting "leave me alone!!! pleeeaaassse!" nakakasuffocate! or "dont PUSH me"
       >>>>Jeepney: just like in decision making... you have a lot to choose from, always has the exact opposite of the other. With sounds..no sounds, Maliit..malaki, Masikip..Maluwag. In every decision that you make..theres always a consequence..whatever jeepney you choose to ride it has its own flaws.
      >>>>Bus: I DONT LIKE BUS RIDES! most of the time if not always...why do we always have to run or chase the bus just to get in? IMPULSIVE! it would sudddenly run and then it would suddenly stop. and if its not your lucky day..you have to stand, hold tight wherever so that you will not STUMBLE AND FALL. or if you're seating.. you  might just bump your head. We always have this feeling that our life is on the line when were riding it. 

So...what about these rides??? 

         After all the things that happened in my life in the past year, sometimes i still cant comprehend how i got through all of it. A Ride on the Road... I AM A BIG TIME STUBBORN! And now i realized, whatever ride you're riding.. it will never guarantee you of a smooth road or travel. That is why road signs were created. Yes its there but you also have a choice if you're going to abide or suffer the consequence. 
          
         I've already read the WARNING SIGN... and since im stubborn, i did things my way and ended up as a mess. The best thing is that the MMDA who caught me is GOD...and YES i went through a refresher course with Him.. Disciplining was not easy, pain was inevitable..but the result was fulfilling. He reminded me of the things that i forgot. He reminded me of His UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, that He will NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME. He is my FIRST LOVE and i am so ashamed that i forgot that. 
          
        He instructed me to YIELD and then make a U-TURN. I did. And Praise God for the Blessing of OBEDIENCE.
        
        Now i decided that i will ride a CAR. But i will not be the driver... JESUS will be my driver.  Whatever His will is for my life, let it be done.. I know He knows what best for me, there may be problems along the way but i know that i am SAFE with HIM. 

You will not reach your Destination if you're not in the right DIRECTION.

Just want to share this....

And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life

I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
 --- from the song Jesus takes the wheel by Carrie Underwood.  


        After all that's been said and done... For the past weeks, i have this burden that i really want to write all the things that happened, happening and will happen in my life but im so lazy to write. A friend of mine encouraged me to make a blog and that's the time i realized, why not..why not. My life's goal is to let everybody know HIS story through me. I want to bless other people. And yes why not make a bolder step of faith through blogging. Making HIM known.. the GOD who has been with me all through out. The GOD who sustained me. Yes He is the reason why i made it through and why i am what i am now.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." -Phil. 4:13

All praise and Glory to God. 

Special thanks to my friend Jen..hehe, i dont know if its just a joke, but thank you for bring it up. ^_^
