Saved Festival 2011

Since I started my life as a married woman, being alone in my faith was a reality I knew I would face. It would be my challenge and it is probably my biggest frustration to date. As much as I love my husband, more so do I love my God. But making God real in the life of this family is like waiting for a bus to get going and no one seems to be coming along for the ride.

Last weekend was a weekend of worry. God knows I worry so much and impatient at the same time. So when Ana and April invited me to the Saved Festival 2011 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, it was exactly what I needed.

The moment I walked in, I was surrounded by my own kind and the energy was electrifying. My hair was standing on ends. You knew the Spirit was strong and the fire of the Lord burns intensely in the hearts of so many. To see all those young people, God's army is alive and strong. What a time to live in!

Fully recharged and free to sing my heart out. God be glorified!

Called to understand

Romans 14:13
"Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister."

Living by God’s right standards, living to be a peacemaker, and living to be a source of joy in our relationships are what kingdom life is all about. And, when we live like this, our lives please God and bless others

Home

Home is definitely where the heart is. Sometimes I wish I never left. But I have to get used to this reality. My life is now a constant back and forth motion between two loves.


Coming home with Dani is an outer body experience is some points. Seeing Dani on the same bed I grew up and slept in, dreaming of my Prince and the children I would have with him. What a happy ending!


Dad is looking a bit haggard. Im worried. His eyes are dark and he looks tired. Lord God, give him your strength to go with His courage.


Its times like these that I will treaure and remember for all my life.


My dad is turning 62 tomorrow. I'm glaf he can be here for Dani. You can see it in his eyes. So much gentleness, love and awe. If I could freeze it all and keep it close always.


I love being home.

Remembering...

Its the first time I'm actually in Iloilo for this time of year. Can't remember when I was actually here for All Soul's Day.

First time in Tanza Chinese Cemetery. Lots of incense. Lots of smoke. Its a learning process. Started out at 9am.

Headed for Garden of the Ascension but apparently the family are running late so we ended up heading to Forest Lake.

It amazes me how intricate the cemeteries are here!

Seeing family at Christ the King was wonderful. Not to mention a good portion of David's spareribs. Still as good as I remember them! 😍 Unfortunately, it shocked me it was P80 now! Hhwwaat?!

Hot, smokey, sticky, itchy... It was a good day. 😊
