Last day being 33.

Today I am grateful for the wonderful year that passed. As the title of this post says, today is also my last day being 33. I will turn 34 tomorrow, February 24. I am excited as I have many more dreams awaiting for me this year. And more love to give and receive. :)

Hearts Day

Today I am grateful for Valentine's Day. Everybody is romantic and love is in the air!

Farid and I celebrated the day in advance since he is out camping with his friends for a few days. I gave him a big kisses chocolate and a camping tool :) But he gave me the best gift. One day this week, he said he was having doubts about his religion. I told him to search for the truth and agreed to come to church with me on my birthday! It is an answered prayer. I was so happy! Praise God!!!

Thank You, Lord

Today I am very grateful my family and friends are spared from the earthquake that hit our province in Cebu, Philippines. It made me realize how fragile life can be. How often we take forgranted this gift that was given to us freely.

Thank You so much Lord.

"He will cover you with His wings; you will be safe in His care; His faithfulness will protect and defend you." -Psalms 91:4

I simply prayed

Today I am grateful things have gotten easier. All I had to do was simply pray. :)

Not a good day but still...

Today I am grateful for all the blessings in my life. There are rainy days, there are sunny days. Life is still beautiful! :)

Fourth

Today I am grateful we are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. At this moment, I am asked to stay inside the bedroom while my husband is preparing a surprise for me ;) Hmmmm, who doesn't love surprises? So while I'm waiting for that I am writing this post to share a special gift my friend gave me when I visited her last New Year.
