Here is a late post for your 18th  birthday.  06 Feb 2022

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

The previous years had flown so fast and how I wish we had the ability or power to slow down the hands of time. Our unica hija is turning 18 and the Lord is truly gracious in her life, from baby steps to tweener, to a teenager and now to adulthood. 

Sweetheart Ella you are ...

M agnificent always remember that and 

Amazing in your own unique way that the Lord had created you

Resilient especially during this abnormal and challenging time

My dearest Ella, take time to savor your life slowly and let God do the directing in your life. We are so happy and proud of what you had become, and we know that you still have a long way to go to fulfilling your dreams.

Tatay and Nanay pray that you will continue to entrust your future to the Lord, seek his wisdom and directions in your life. Always remember that you are unique, you are special and always loved.

Proverbs 3 5-6 :Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Continue to give your best to the Lord, and always be a blessing to others too.

We love you to the moon and back.

Home Sweet Home plus four P's

Home sweet home!

Last year 2017, around the month of April, we moved away for five months.. not on a vacation.. but due to a planned house renovation... we moved and finally.. moved back home. We lived in this house since 2009.. when I was still pregnant with my youngest baby.. However, we decided to have the house extended to suit our family's need. 

Actually, we live in a country where it is financially challenging to buy or build your own home. We have to save every centavo we can because this money is in reality hard earned... in exchanged with many months of separation and hard work by my husband.

Meantime, my husband and I had been brainstorming whether to give a green light for the renovation or wait for the perfect time instead. With much discussions going on between us through text messages, chat messages, emails and videos, we finally met on a level and pushed the green light.

During this process of rebuilding our home we learned these four P's...

...

Pray  - we prayed for divine wisdom whether we will start this new project which consists of too much preparations along the way. Just the same, we were blessed with a very efficient engineer that will oversee the house project from start to finish.

...

Prepare - we had a transparency of all our finances. I had prepared a simple financial report so that we can check how much money we have to finance this project so that we can decide whether we can finish this project without going on knee-deep debts...Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

...

Plan - we plan, from the start, we had given our inputs on how we want our house to be finished. To be a comfy home for our family and not just  a plain structure but a place that will suit  all our everyday activities... and memories to be created for years beyond.

...

Plunge into action -demolition starts and rebuilding pressed on.. we had minor disagreements but managed to  meet on certain level.. day after day, the pieces of hollow blocks were mixed with pebbles and slowly  the structure of the house was gradually coming to form, and finally we reached the finishing touches..

Slowly, as every tiny bits and pieces had been placed to its proper position, , finally, we are back home by His grace...hence we give back all our  honor and praises to Him...

Home sweet home, a blessing indeed!

2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
