Well, it is about time to put something in this BLOG. I have forgotten that I attempted to do it a couple of years ago! Now, everything is different from my previous intention. I attempted to do this when my daughter AMY went to "answer GOD's call" and studied in the Philippines. Well, it has been two years already and thank GOD, she came back Christmas 2010 and now here in Southern California with us...at her home! [You can read her blog at [agracesurrendered@blogspot.com] if you are curious enough what those TWO years taught her. And I encourage you to read it. [You will be blessed!]
I am giving GOD the glory and honor for what has transpired in my family. I will start with the lesson-learned from when Amy was gone. I can speak for the both of us, my husband and I, our prayer life improved tremendously while she was away. Only you who are mom's can probably understand what I meant by this. Little that I realize that when she said "I wanted to follow GOD!" - it also meant that we have to as well. It was a learning process. I can only thank GOD for what HE taught us in-the-process...the day-to-day TRUST that we have to give the LORD and HIS WORD. Our devotion might have come REAL-er ( if there is such a word) - I feel the LORD soothing me with every WORD I read in the Bible.
She is now helping our Children's ministry in the church and making herself available to be an "ATE" to the CPYF girls. GOD is good. HE is even providing her with some money doing what she loves to do. [She said she is embarrassed to get compensation for it. GOD know what she needs!]
NATHAN, my son also graduated with his Masters in Sports Management from USF (Univ. San Frans) last May 20, 2011. We couldn't be happier to take a couple of days off to drive there in San Frans. It took TWO years of hard work and sacrifices and I thank the LORD for sustaining him every day. My heart breaks to see him suffers, but I have learned to "close my eyes" and just send him my "prayer dart" every time I see him. I bet you, he does not even know what hits him when I do send those darts. I only know that GOD is his Sustainer and giver of his strength and wisdom during those times. Now, we can't wait what this "masters" will do to his career path. Whatever it is, our only prayer is that NO MATTER WHAT HE DO, THAT HE WILL GLORIFY GOD IN THE PROCESS!
And so, there you go ! It is but a brief glimpse of what had transpired these last two years. Ohh, there will be more to come ! Praying to GOD that HE will give me time to share those things with you!
Thank you for cruising my blog. SORRY it is still SO PLAIN! I am just "learning" for now. Hoping that I may learn a few more "features" of my blog adventure. Until next time....
