Booked!

Yeah! I'm so happy! God is really good! I and hubby-to-be already have our Church and venue booked for our wedding! :) I actually prayed for the specific Church and venue that they are both available on our chosen wedding date - and they are! We are finally reserved in St. Jerome Emiliani and Sta. Susana Parish Church beside Alabang Town Center:

and in Monte de Portofino in Portofino Heights along Daang Hari. :)

Now that we have our Church and venue, we can stop for now and relax! Worrying will resume next month as we scout for caterers and other possible suppliers. I'm sooooo excited! Thank You Lord God! :)

Reunited.. and it feels so good..

Today marks his first day in our office, I hope he'll enjoy whatever lies ahead of his career here.
Yes, for the second time around, my man is again my officemate. How cool is that.
Same team. Same capability. But different reporting bosses, of course.

And another difference is that he was my boyfriend before and he is my fiance NOW.

I know there'll be lots of hoolas that might come out that it's not ideal to have us both in a workplace.
It's fine. We respect their opinions and it's completely fine. We both understand that and we both know how to work on that.

As for now, we're reunited again as colleagues.. and it still feels so good... :)

He heard my prayer... and He answered.

I was very restless for the past few weeks.
I was unfocused. I can't think clearly. I can't even sleep very well.
I was anxious. I was in doubt. I was worried.
And the worst part.. My faith wandered.

Until I can't hold on to the feeling anymore, I decided to speak to God.
I remembered how He loved me even before I was born and how patient He is to wait for me to call Him.. to speak to Him.  At that point of my life, I recalled the days when all I wanted and all I needed was Him... And that very moment, I wished that I can still bring that part of my life now where I am still His faithful and obedient child.. then I heard God speak to me..

I found myself inside the Chapel.  I wondered how many weeks had passed my life without me speaking to God sincerely. I asked God to forgive me for all my transgressions and shortcomings. I asked Him to heal me. I asked Him to give me His peace. And I whispered to Him one of my biggest prayers and I believed that I already received it. I walked out of the Chapel feeling relieved... experiencing peace.. like a hurting child being embraced and comforted by his mother. How I love the feeling. I was in cloud 9.

In less than 24 hours, I received the answer to my prayer.
God listened to my prayer. He heard it and He gave it to me.
I can't contain my gratefulness and my soul can't express how much I'm thankful to my Father... for welcoming me for the nth time, for healing me and for answering my prayer.

Indeed, Lord, You are more than enough for me.

Amen.
