Feb 28- Twas a red letter day for the family. For the first time, Daddy will be with us for Rizia's educational tour. I wasn't that excited, but I didn't sleep much the night before. 4:30am we woke up, and prepared for the day.

The itinerary for the day:
- Intramuros Fire Department
- Philippine Star
- Manila Ocean Park (the one we're most excited to go to!)

We did took a lot of pics of that day- we want to make this most memorable since this is Daddy's first time :)
I won't say much, the pictures will tell it all. :)

I guess I'll have to do this some other time. The connection's soooo sloooww. Can't upload pics :(
Even klove's buffering from time to time. Grrr.

I am glad to be staying at home, playing with the kids and doing what I love to do. But looking at our situation, I know that I have to work. I've got to work. I can't understand why this have to happen. I really feel so sad.

I just got to trust God's ways. I just need to let God and let go.

Since I haven't blogged for quite a long time already, I wasn't able to upload our holiday pictures. Our holiday celebration was a blast! My husband's here, we're so blessed, and I am so thankful! :)

PRE- HOLIDAY SHOTS

You know what happened yesterday? I wasn't able to make it to work. My husband Edward just told me not to go to work. He didn't agree in the first place. He wanted me to work, yes, but he doesn't want me to work with that kind of schedule. And I don't know if it was like an answered prayer. Haha. I was crying and I was telling God how heavy my feeling was. I don't know if it's good or not- and since this is the choice I made, I just got to trust Him. At least I have learned to listen to Edward, and submit to his decision. (Which is not really me, but I love God and so follow Him..)

UpWords - Week of Jan. 28 - Feb. 3

I am actually very nervous now because today is my first day for working for a new account, with new people and under new supervisors. I don't know what to expect. The good thing about it is that we have a fixed day off- weekends; plus the fact that it's non voice, back office. I really don't want the schedule (it's 9pm-6am)- graveyard. When I get home from work my husband's at work already. We will only have a few hours together before I get to work- which is so sad.

I hope that I could start blogging again. I missed this so much. Last year I started working and so I haven't found time blogging anymore. But this year, I'll try to squeeze this in my very busy schedule. I haven't even uploaded our pre and post Holiday pics in here yet. I didn't realize we have a lot of catching up to do! :)

Aside from the full time job I have, I also do a part time job as well. It's a work-at-home special agent. See how busy I am? And I have made a mistake to commit on an 8-1 sked... :(

I have started my Victory small group yesterday. It was nice, having to meet and learning about God.

I'm really very sleepy already. I have to end my shift now and go to sleep. I still have work later. See you tomorrow.

It's been a very long time (a year actually) since and a lot has happened to me. If I give account to all the days I've missed, I guess I will have to stay up for 2 days and will still have a lot of stories to tell. Well, to sum it all up, God has been so good to me. He blessed me during the past year, and He continues to amaze me!

I am not sure if I have mentioned here that I have been working in one of the easiest account in the call center there is. (I don't want to say that that is the best, because I know I am still gonna have the bestest ☺) I thought that I was gonna stay there for good, though. Until the management announced that we will only be staying until the 28 of January... I really felt bad. But I have realized that God has something better in mind... Something better than what I have now. So yesterday, I went to this company (will disclose it later. not ready to announce it now ☺) and praise God! I passed the first 2 stages of the recruitment process. And I am yet to undergo the Operations Manager interview. I don't know what to expect, but the Lord says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you". I don't have to worry.

Two weeks after-

I didn't pass. Why? I am not sure. Only one thing's for sure:

Romans 8:28 (New International Version, ©2011, Bible Gateway)

 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.

God called me for a purpose, and He has a great plan for those whom He loves. I am His child, He has given His life for me; died to save me from the eternal punishment of hell. Therefore, He loves me :)

---JANUARY

A week after the New Year holiday, the whole family went through a 7 day prayer and fasting, wherein we consecrated ourselves and abstain from solid food the whole week! I didn't think I'd make it- if it weren't for God's sustenance we would have given up after the first day. We're not only thankful for God's presence, and a breakthrough in our spiritual lives; we've lost weight! (which is cool right?) And that was like a bonus from God :)

Since then, God has been doing amazing things in us, and will continue all throughout the year!

The first Sunday's preaching was about Isaiah 61, THE YEAR OF THE LORD'S FAVOR. And we declare, indeed this is the year of the Lord's favor!
