A Piece of Heaven : Micamics' perspective

I woke up at around pass 12 in the morning today as the cold breeze comes through the window, thanks to typhoon " Luis " Who caused this type of weather now. I've been suffering through this Cold-Intolerance since I was younger,just so you know. So I stood up and grab a snack since I felt something in my tummy. I searched through the different cable channels and toggled between the Basketball TV channel and ANC. I was interested in FIBA Championship but I was also concerned about the weather news because of the typhoon that approached the country today. In short, I chose ANC and read through the different side news while looking for some announcements. Without my knowledge, there is a video being played at the center part of the screen while I was busy reading through the side announcements. It was BO Sanchez, preaching. I have known Bo Sanchez through friends in social media. I've read a lot of good things about him but never really seen or heard him preach the wor...

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." September 6 marked a very special day for me and Gabby and all those who loved gabby dearly. It is my daughter's 7th Birthday Celebration! It was a 2- week preparation, tiring but very fulfilling. Up to the last minute, before the party started, I was exhausted (understatement)  My almost three-week vacation leave was not enough to regain the emotional and physical strength to return to my daily normal routine as a working solo parent. All the exhaustion during the preparation is nothing compared to the joy I saw when gabby's face lit up during the birthday party celebration. All the people who had shown love and dedication in order to make the party happen will always have a mark in our hearts. To Grandma- who has always shown love and support to gabby. This party wouldn't happen if not because of you.  Ate Mi- who is always by side at all times, even d...

Proverbs 27:9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. (NLT) Indeed Friends are God's Blessings in our lives. We take advantage of our friends in many different ways. There are those types of friends you get along with because you share the same interest in a certain field. There are soul-sister type of friends that has a totally different interest as yours but your hearts seem to communicate with one another easily, without even knowing why and how that happened. There are friends-with-benefit type of friends and we cant help but have more of these types of people due to the innate need and greediness we have in this world. If you see friends as God's Blessings, then we should find a way to take care of them and not take advantage of them. I thank God for allowing me to be with these different types of friends. I thank my soul-sister type of friends who understands the meaning of my silence when I am silent. And will continuously pray to my o...

Philippians 1:6(NIV) 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. I've been meddling with some thoughts for a few days now, Its about a major decision I was about to do in the coming days. I forgot to run unto HIM and failed to took shelter under HIS presence. Or maybe I was too proud and ashamed to do so. It was only on this day that I decided to open my heart and dwell in HIS presence. Just when I was about to open my heart in prayer, HE already answered. Just like that - He answered. Upon reading this: "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion" made me burst into tears. Then I realized, It is all done through Jesus Christ who made all the Heavens and the Earths. I thank you Lord for your unending Grace-- it is where I truly belong.

Cheers to my 29 years of existence! My 29th was one of the most intimate celebration I had in my lifetime. Intimate in a sense that it was celebrated with the people closest in my heart - My family. No friends, only gabby, my sister with her family and my brother with his family. I took a day off to take gabby out for a swim since she was asking for it a few weeks ago. It was then that I realized that when you are getting old you see birthday celebrations as an outlet for your loved ones and not for yourself. I packed our bags and grabbed my niece and together with gabby I took them out for a swim. I was longing tor this time where I can take gabby out since I was drowned with work after I got promoted January this year. And my birthday made it happen. Going home after a day's water spa pleasure, has never been better. It was at this moment that I realized that at the end of the day, your family is where your heart will always be.

After a hectic daily routine at work, I went home to sleep with gabby The usual before- bed time habit was to talk about how our day went and say a little prayer before going to sleep. I shared how tired I was at the office and gabby asked a childish yet sensible question. She asked: "Mama ano mas nakakapagod? yun ginagawa mo sa office o yun mga sinusulat ko sa school?"  Such a silly question that made me realize that Hardships is just a matter of perspective.  In a child's eyes, whats hard for them is when they write a lot of notes in their notebooks and absorbing what the teacher teaches them in school. They are required to get high grades because that is the only way they can prove themselves to their parents.  For grown ups, hardship is when we think of so many uncontrollable things in a lot of aspects of our lives.   We tend to worry about the things that are out of our hands even the ones that are yet to come, and the ones that never happen.  Se...

Started my 2014 with a bang when I read the email containing my transition schedule and confirmation of my promotion from Agent to Quality Specialist earlier part of my shift. It was a mixed emotion, both of excitement and sadness for I will surely miss the afternoon Happy hour with my team. Suddenly, I had a quick flashback of the life I once had (while I was still enjoying and loving my job as Quality Specialist back in 2008.) The Lord pinched my heart reminding me of His faithfulness a midst my being "somewhat-faithful" to him for the past year. His perfection makes me wanna cry and cry and simply cry my heart out to the point I was having a hard time writing. Ever since the last heart-breaking moment in my life, I started offering my life to the Lord. I prayed, and prayed real hard to help fulfill my journey of being a single mother to gabby. Many times, I was tempted to get another job with higher paying salary. But also on these times that I was reminded of the purp...
