Well, after one household/prayer meeting, a trip to the salon for a pedi, a 50th wedding anniversay of a relative at the Pen, a night out with CFC household watching bloomfields, and a long talk with Hubby, I finally came up with something.
Purpose and Acceptance.
First, I realized that I'm too busy lately that I haven't really thought of my purpose and if I'm fulfilling it. Things that cross my mind are: my purpose as a daughter of God, as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter of my parents, as a sister and brother, etc... But of course, which of these are my priorities? And I've read that I shouldn't neglect myself too!
Second, Acceptance. After a long talk with Hubby, he let me realized that maybe somehow I haven't accepted the events or even challenges that I usually face in my life. And this is the first step that I have to do so I could embrace life more and live my life to the fullest. And he was right!
Thank God for these realizations which actually eye openers for me. Realizations that made me thank God more. Realizations that made me appreciate Him more for always, always leading me to the right path.
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. Know a good thing when you see it and don't let it slip away. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it's worth it." - Anonymous
If I wake up one day to have something in my life, it would be this:
Worry Free!

hello, I'm also a Filipina blogger (and Christian too) and I'm not sure how I landed here on your blog tonight. But anyway, I highly recommend the book "Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I'm not sure if you've read that already but it's a good book. God bless you.
