MY SUFFERING IS MY OFFERING!

As i typed this blog, it's a Monday here in the pacific coast...A Holy Monday...and the music being played in my ipad is the song of Fatima Soriano entitled,,MY OFFERING....every word sang by this very innocent girl touched the very tip of my nerve endings...and can't help but cry....As the song goes....my life is very simple..my dreams are few and little..i don't have much to offer except the pains i bear,,my suffering is my offering,, i am offering all my sufferings, and if ever i will face more trials and more pains then i will offer them gladly again,,i know that there's a reason,,i know i have a mission,, someday i will see the vision,,for now i must be strong...sometimes i doubt and question,, i need some consolation,, but if this is my mission,, i must be brave and strong....

I have so much respect to this very brave girl,Fatima Soriano, a visionary...Everytime i feel down,, everytime i feel as if my prayers are not answered,, everytime i feel as if life is so unfair ,,,i always get my strength back everytime i remember the braveness of this girl..How can I question the unanswered prayers I have? when in fact this little girl bravely accept all the things that somehow make her life to end?...dialysis everyday, blind, and here she is, happy with life,,a smile that is so radiating everytime people will see her...gives so much life to every person she met.. always encouraging people to continue holding on to God...that everything happened for a reason,,...Thank you so much Fatima,,,you just don't know how you give meaning to my life..Thank you so much for your songs , always touches my heart in so many ways and helped me stand up everytime i feel down...Thank you....

Yes, Lord,,,,I have so many things to be thankful for...my family,,,my husband,,my son,,for supplying our needs everyday, and somehow help in our own little ways our family back home in PH..Thank you for giving us more than enough from what we asked of YOU...I know that YOU have great plans for me ....

Thank you for the good health you bestowed on us....the past year was so good to us when it comes to health,finances,,,,,thank you for always guiding us in our travel and letting us conquer some things just within our capacity...All these will not be possible if You did not let us experience all of these...Thank you Lord....Please forgive us for our shortcomings when sometimes we became weak with our faith when some human weakness sets in..We pray,,AMEN...

THANK YOU MAMA MARY!

OUR UNICO IJO!

As I uploaded some of our pictures during the spring vacation, my husband and I got so emotional when we watched the pictures of our son....Oh my gosh! he has grown so much that as we scanned and viewed some of his baby pictures, we can't help but felt a quench in our hearts(allow me to be quite corny and senti about this entry)......Yes, thank you son for always making us proud in everything that you do, for making us so happy everyday....for listening everytime we inculcate some reminders and values that we want you to follow...Other people said and asked us why we only have you when it fact you deserve to have a brother and a sister...but even if we gave our reasons, funny is that they felt they know our plans and ourselves more than us... as if they know the responsibilities that we have and the past that we have been through...well anyway let them be,,why will we let them rule our lives anyway, right?they might as well manage their own lives rather than taking notice of everything that we do..that does not bother us anyway,because we know that at this very moment, we have many things to be grateful to God..and these we will always treasure.....And believe that whatever God will bestow on us, we will receive it with open arms because we firmly believe that God knows the desires of our hearts, right?

We would like to thank you for understanding ......And we know that you feel everyday that we are a family.....
