Year of provisions, miracles and breakthroughs!

The year 2016 was indeed a year of provisions, miracles and breakthroughs!
Every start of the year, Gerald and I list down all our faith goals and offer to God all these and put our hope in Him. We believe that all these plans and desires are according to His will, good, pleasing and perfect.Whenever I looked back on 2016, I can’t help myself but to be in tears with wonder and great awe. It was really a year of grace. God’s grace! The revelation of God’s steadfast love for me was very evident last 2016 and always His mercies are new each day. I know that as a human full of sin don’t deserve this kind of blessings but he gave it anyway.And I thought this blog was a nice way to share my testimonies and breakthroughs for the year 2016!
I put those phrases last January 2016 to declare and claim. It was!

We are. We really are..
We are really thankful to God for the following: 
1. I’ve got engaged and married to the man of my dreams, the man I need most.
  
           Ok. Reminiscing my wedding makes me speechless. Until now I am in cloud nine or should I say I, uhm, I am grateful. I can't explain how we get through it, thinking the plans, the people, the financial needs and others..
           We got engaged last February of 2016 (our engagement story here). We already decided that 2016 will be the year for us to get married. So, we planned our wedding without thinking where we will get our finances. We did not have enough savings in our pockets plus I had my personal expenses in paying my tuition fee. Well, studying MBA in a private school is dependent on God’s power and trusting in His provisions! He used people (blessed them, oh God) to bless us financially. It is really true that “if God’s will, it’s His bill”. The strength and patience God gave us last 2016 to handle both the preparation for the wedding and my study was sufficient for us not to take for granted either of the two. I am also blessed to have Gerald as my fiancĂ© that time. He is understanding, patient, emotionally matured and most especially he makes me feel that I am well loved. <3
God orchestrated everything that day, such as the weather, the guests, the venue and our hearts. We felt His love showered upon us. We believe that our wedding is from God. “Marriage is a gift, it cannot be bought. It is a gift of life….”

 2. Went to Palawan twice!

           One was this,, the other was on our honeymoon. I will post separate entry for our honeymoon. I want to make it detailed and entertaining. haha

3. Career Growth for Us.

           I’ve been praying to the Lord for the work place where I will grow and learn new things. I got to work in Microtel and so far I am enjoying the job. <3 I got to know the real essence of what CPA should be. Gerald got promoted last quarter of 2015 and gained knowledge on his new role and able to applied it in 2016.

4. I’ve got my MBA degree.

            At first, I was hesitant to pursue my oral defence last year. I was not sure if I was ready to present my paper but God reminded me of His faithfulness. The same thing He did when I passed the board exam, truly He is the same yesterday, today and forever. I, together with my friends, passed our last defence. I believe it was because of God’s Grace alone. Yay. #squadgoals. Hihi. Our graduation will be this Feb! I am so so so excited. <3

5. We joined Victory group and attended the Victory Weekend.

           Gerald and I had been praying for a discipleship group for us to have a community in our church and God answered our prayer.  We have found new friends that will keep us on track in our journey for deeper relationship with God.  This year we’re done with our Victory weekend! Yehey!
All the honor, glory and praises belong only to Him!

Accounting with Excellence

Image
"Find(ing) your passion in the job you have.." - Atom  To be honest I never dream to be an accountant. BSA was never in my vocabulary. In fact, I just learned that Accounting exist when I was about to enroll college. Accounting was never been part of my college choices. If you know me well, you probably knew what was the story behind and how I ended up enrolling in BSA. In short, dito lang talaga ako napadpad. Literal! But eventually, when I realized na I don’t have any choice. Naka graduate na ko, pumasa and all, I learned to accept that I am an accountant. But since being an accountant is stressful, I ended up job hopping. I applied in different companies and hoping to find “the one”. But at the end of the day I am still not contented. Until one day I realized that the issue here is not who I work with. The issue here is what I think. And how I am ungrateful with life. Now, I change my perspective. I learned to be contented and to be thankful when it comes to my ...

Surviving Sagada. Wiw!

Image
When I got married, one of my top places to visit in the Philippines is Sagada (together with El Nido, Bicol, Hundred Islands, Cagayan Valley and Coron) Way back 2009, our church had a Mission Camp at Mt. Praise Assemblies of God in Sagada, which is also affiliated in our church in Manila. We had our bible study, prayer meeting, visitations and others. Oh I must admit I missed those sometimes. Although we had our rest and recreation time, we never had the chance to try the cave connection. When we went in the mouth of the cave, it rained. They make me believe that even in the littlest rain, it is unsafe to enter in the cave. (but later I found out that this is not true) Haha. So from there on I long to try the cave connection. My longing was revived when we saw the movie “That Thing called Tadhana” when the main setting was in Baguio and in Sagada. But I never had a chance to go back to Sagada until I had my official travel buddy! Haha.  Back then, my parents won’t allow me t...

risk?

Taking every risk. Leaving everyone behind. Or the dreams to be forgotten. All the plans that were set aside. Everything was done for you. But as the saying says “the higher the risk the greater the reward or the punishment” but I know in my heart whatever will it be I know what reward will  I gain in the near future so all I can say is ALL THE RISKS ARE WORTH IT 'coz you are worth fighting for.
