New years celebration-2008

As always, we will be celebrating New year at home for it's moms birthday. On the 31st we are all busy preparing to welcome 2008. For some reason i'm so desperate to watch korean novela most especially Coffee Prince, the new korean telenovela aired in GMA. My kids and I went to Zabarte Mall to have some grocery and to buy DVD. I did'nt expected actually did't realized that it will be difficult to travel with kids and with the grocery bags. It happened and as expected we had difficulty going home. Before that, I had some heated argument with some costumer at the grocery. Honestly it's my fault but knowing me, I will not just stand up and do nothing if I feel that I was abused or something. Since there were many people lining up to the cashier I asked my eldest son to fall in line while I finish my grocery and I learned that he was overtaked by others. When I'm about to replace my son others are complaining, my fault because i did not explained calmly (forgive me but I was so disgusted and maybe i'm so tired as well and I can't help but to let them know the real me when I'm mad hehehe. We went home safely though very tired.prepared the foods and at exactly 12 mn, we greeted each other and i felt very thankful and happy for another year that I'm still with my family complete and happy. Unfortunately all the pictures that was taked was deleted by my eldest Bro. Kuya Boy wahhhhhh.Anyways Praise God for the blessings and protection He gave us for 2007 and for more success and blessings this year. The most important thing that happened is that my husband and I prayed and....prayed :) :) :)

Happy 1 year to me..

January 1, 2008 is my 1 year anniversary as a TL. A very stressful year yet very challenging and happy. Praise God for not leaving me throughout the greatest challenge of my life. He was my comforter when I felt sad, my protector and my friend during the time that everybody is against me. My confidante when I felt nobody is listening to me. My advisor when I need to decide on things . Aside from my family, friends and my agents who believed in me and never leave me as well I consider GOD is the number 1 reason of my survival for 1 year. It's not easy being a Team Leader you need both hard work and confidence at the same time. I have learned so much from it though I went to so many trials and pain I even came to the point of giving up but God is so good He carried me when I can't bear the pain anymore. I would like to thank all the people who stayed with me, became my new friend and I'm really praying to have a fruitful year with you. And to those who give pain to my life, to those who hurt me ( intentional or unintentional) thank you too... because of that I just proved one thing...I'm still blessed to have a true friend who supported me. Family who loved me and God who stayed and loved me. Because of you guys I became a stronger one and I can say that “If God is with me, who can be against me". I believe in due time, you will become my friend too.

I'm looking forward for a better year......Breakthrough for 2008!!!

Prayer for 2008

My New years prayer

New Year's resolutions are good but fragile, that is, easily broken. New Year's prayers are better; they ascend to the throne of God and set answering wheels in motion. As we come to the beginning of another year, we would do well to make the following prayer requests our own: Lord Jesus, I rededicate myself afresh to You today. I want You to take my life this coming year and use it for Your glory. I pray that You will keep me from sin, from anything that will bring dishonor to Your Name. Keep me teachable by the Holy Spirit. I want to move forward for You. Don't let me settle in a rut. May my motto this year be, "He must increase; I must decrease." The glory must all be Yours. Help me not to touch it. Teach me to make every decision a matter of prayer. I dread the thought of leaning on my own understanding. "O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps" (Jer. 10:23). May I die to the world and even to the approval or blame of loved ones or friends. Give me a single, pure desire to do the things that please Your heart. Keep me from gossip and criticism of others. Rather, help me to speak what is edifying and profitable. Lead me to needy souls. May I become a friend of sinners, as You are. Give me tears of compassion for the perishing. Lord Jesus, keep me from becoming cold, bitter, or cynical in spite of anything that may happen to me in the Christian life. Guide me in my stewardship of money. Help me to be a good steward of everything You have entrusted to me. Help me to remember moment by moment that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. May this tremendous truth influence all my behavior. And, Lord Jesus, I pray that this may be the year of Your return. I long to see Your face and to fall at Your feet in worship. During the coming year, may the blessed hope stay fresh in my heart, disengaging me from anything that would hold me here and keeping me on the tiptoes of expectancy. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!


Taken from William MacDonald's devotional book, "One Day at a Time":

I still claimed this verse:

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
Jeremiah 29:11
