Holler!

Whow! Did I miss blogging or what? Yeah.. I missed it a lot. I haven't been able to check out both of my blogs for the past two weeks except for the one time that I was able to post Zye's 8th month celebration.

A lot have been happening actually. Oh, had happened. We have been visiting my dear uncle who has been in and out of the hospital for the past two months. It has been a wild roller coaster ride for everyone. Not knowing when the next infection will strike, praying very hard that everything will be well and good in the soonest time. But God's mind is far from ours. He is the only one who knows the ultimate plan.

In between those visits, we have been busy with church activities. We had our youth leaders ordained, Sunday school for this school year started last Sunday, and I've been collecting materials for the upcoming seminars and workshops that we have in line. So many things to do, so little time. But God is good. I thank Him for the continuous wisdom He has bestowed upon me and my husband. Otherwise, I would not have stayed sane.

To put the icing on all of these things simultaneously happening, I recently suffered from a bad case of flu which I believe was due to the crazy hot weather (oh, yeah, doesn't the weather just drive you nuts?). Now, I'm finally back. And with our DSL subscription on it's way to reality, I believe I can have more time to write.

There. My life in two weeks time....in a nutshell.

The week that was

Much to my dismay, I wasn't able to update our blog for the simplest reason that I had tons of things to do. So many things to do, so little time. *SIGH*

This was last week's highlight. Zye turned 8th months old. We treated him out at Tom's world.

WE LOVE YOU ZYE!!!!

Faith and Music

During the time that I renewed my faith, I have decided to really be of service to the Lord. At first, akala ko talaga I can only be designated as an emcee. So I would really volunteer myself during Sunday service for that assignment. Pero as it turned out, the Lord has other plans for me.

Together with my husband, who was then my boyfriend, we organized the young people of the church to help them out in their dilemna of discovering the ministry that they want to be in. Sabi ko that time, "I believe eto na talaga yung plan ni Lord for me and Dong". We thank God for the inspiration and the guidance, thus the birth of S.Y.S.T.E.M (Serving Youth of S.T.E.M) . But His plan did not end there. Ang daming surprises ni Lord.

It turned out, the young people of our church had one common interest: music. Kaya ang nangyari, dun kami nagsimula ng ministry. We took responsibility of the church's music ministry. Isa lang talaga sa group namin ang masasabing marunong when it comes to music. At hindi ako yun. But it's true that when you delight yourself unto the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart. Before we knew it, nagkaroon na kami ng specific places in the music ministry. God moves in mysterious ways talaga. It's because of His goodness na nagkaroon ako ng konting talent sa singing.

Don't get excited. Hindi ako magaling. But it's amazing kasi I have really learned to listen well to music kaya hindi na ako basta na-sisintunado. It's even wonderful kasi whenever I sing in church, it's like my voice changes. Mahirap i-explain. All I know is that ibang level talaga mag-bless si Lord. All you need to do is to give all that you have to Him, and He will give you everything else you need.

When I look back at all the things that has happened to me, I can't help to wonder what other amazing things are in store for me, for my husband, for our family. Imagine, God allowed us to experience singing in an acoustic concert? Way above our expectations, way above our talent, way above what we ever imagined. But then, for His glory, God allows it all-- big or small, even the impossible happens. All you need to do is to believe.

And I'm sure glad I did.

Denjing moments

Lately, there haven't been pictures of me and my husband in this blog. I have been caught up in posting our son's developments, I forgot that this blog actually started because of our adventures together. For that, I'm simply posting snapshots from recent adventures we've had.

On our way to Tacligan, Mindoro.

This is the day before the Church Anniversary Camp.

Attending the wedding of my husband's client

at Angeles, Pampanga.

After a hearty dinner at Libis.

Whenever I look at our pictures, I just feel more blessed than ever. I thank God for giving me a wonderful husband who always brightens my day, supports me every step of the way and loves me like there is no tomorrow. *SIGH*

Am I a hopeless romantic or what?

Nah, just loved...really, really loved.
