Happy Pill

Thank you for everyday and for finding the best gyoza place for me :)

Faithful God

Yes, You are faithful.

I asked for Your tight embrace and You gave me more than that. Now, I am more than certain that everything will truly fall in perfect place in Your most perfect time. Thank You for the assurance that You are in-charge and thus I need not be afraid.

I have longed for peace, and now I am certain that this can only come from You. You made me further realize that You are a God of restoration. You can move mountains and can change people for the better. I am grateful for every obstacle because it is in those times that I get to fully feel Your presence. I am beyond thankful as well for all the things that come after every trial because they remind me that You really have a beautiful future planned for us.

Thank You for drawing me closer to You every single day and for bringing angels into my life. Thank You for Your faithfulness, God. May You also continue to draw more people to You so that they can fully learn from their pasts and heal the wounds from their mistakes. Continue to make all of us feel that You are indeed a loving God and that no difference in religion, beliefs, race, or gender can separate us from Your love.

You are faithful. Thank You for loving me unconditionally. May You also remind me to always do the same.

Beyond Grateful

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. –Isaiah 55:8

Recently, I have incessantly prayed at the Adoration Chapel for wisdom. I know that relying on my own knowledge and understanding is not enough to grant me the peace that I am longing for. Today, I am so grateful to finally decipher God’s message to me through Isaiah 55:8.

I always want to have a firm understanding of why things are happening or what probable things might occur given our uncertain future. I always want to be in control of everything in my life. Thus, I am often left weary or anxious when challenges arise. But indeed, His thoughts are nothing like mine. While there are things that I have yet to understand, I know that He is sovereign and is always in control—that everything is according to His plan and hence I need not be afraid.

Lord, thank you for your reminder that it is only until I fully rest on You that I will be able to find the peace and joy which my soul longs for. I might not understand Your wisdom, but I know I can trust Your will that in the end, all things will work out for the good. You know the desires of my heart and I am sure that I can be at peace in surrendering all of my joys and sufferings to You.

For Your words and comfort, I am always, always grateful.

Mama Mary, St. Jude and St. Therese, thank you for your intercession!

Hay Lord, I love You sobra. Thank you po J

God's Gift

It’s already 12 AM; today’s the 26^th again.

I’m writing this post because I want to always be reminded that God truly listens to my every prayer.

For a long time, I prayed that I will be gifted with a man who will really take his time to get to know me—a man who will be patient with me and will understand me especially at times when I can be hard to love. True enough, God did not disappoint. He gifted me with a man with levels of patience and understanding that are immeasurable. I was blessed to meet a man who has seen me at my worst—with flaws and scars all shown—and still thinks I am wonderful and lovable.

Your name aptly fits you. 

Uriel, you are like an angel who just never gets tired of being selfless when it comes to me. For the past months that we have been officially together, I truly felt that my happiness was your priority. I know that I’m not an easy person to love, but you always do everything to make sure that I am happy :’)

I prayed for strength and courage, and God blessed me with you. You are that rock and stronghold who I know I can always count on when times are tough or when my anxiety hits its peak. When I am overwhelmed, you sing songs to calm me down. You caress my hair gently so I can sleep soundly. You also make me feel that I can always lay my head on your shoulders when I am weak, that you are always ready to give me a tight embrace whenever I feel down and lost. You are really an angel who is always looking after me.

I don’t know what kindness I did in my past life to deserve you.

I just wish I am as brave as you. But don’t worry, I will do everything I can to be as tough :)

Uriel, thank you for loving me unconditionally. I will forever be grateful to God that I met you. I know I said this before, and I will say it again because I will never be tired of saying this. I believe God was really thinking of me when He made you.

The 26^th will always have a special place in my heart.

I know you'll cringe at this line but I'll say it anyway, "Saranghaeyo, Oppa!" *gremlin voice
