HULI NA ITO

this is the end of it. the last time il be staying at my post in our makati office.
huling araw ng petiks. huling araw ng pagfa-file. huling araw ko bilang isang makati girl.

intern days are over. i'm off to a new start. a totally different learning experience. from manila girl, probinsyana nako (well, not entirely)

what made me say that? i've mentioned that i got hinted on the post for ECCD Staff in the Visayas, and i finally said "yes" to the offer. i'll be living away from my family, and start anew in an unchartered territory (nyak). it is indeed a big step to take, a giant leap even.

salamat sa mga encouragements. y'all have helped me weigh my options.
to my parents, thanks for releasing me. i know that it'll be hard, pero sa simula lang to.
to my friends, thanks for cheering me on! kaya ko to! i can do all things through Christ Who gives me strength:D
salamat sa'yo... tanya, pie, marielle, jan-jan, aFril, carmel, dianne, ely, ms. weng... at sa mga taong nag-text at nag-email: your messages were all very timely. kahit unknowingly e, na-minister niyo ko.
thank you!:D merci beau coup!:*

haaay. i still don't know when i'll be leaving though. i still have a month-long training in various places. and some time to make the most out of my stay in the metro. oh well.

i know that all these things are happening for a reason. God has a big plan for me, indeed. all i have to do is step up, and He'll be there to lead the way:D

while i was checking my mail, i saw this blog announcement from alma, and thought i'll check it out..

it was a cool anecdote about singlehood. hmmm. it's very enriching, and it makes you think about life. astig. made me realize why i am still unattached. and it was all for the right reasons... read on...


**You long to give yourself to someone...
**
To have a deep soul relationship with another...
**To be loved thoroughly and exclusively...
But God says...
"No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone...With giving yourself totally, unreservedly to Me..To having an instensely personal relationship with me alone, discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found. Then you will be capable of having the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you."
"You will never be united with another until you are united with Me--exclusive of anyone or anything else, exlusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing--one that you cannot imagine."
"I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to bring it to you."
"Just expect the best things...just keep listening and learning the things I tell you. Don't be anxious; don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have gotten or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away and up to Me or you'll miss what I want to show you."
"And then, when you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more beautiful than you can imagine or dream of."
"You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working everything this moment to have both of you ready at the same time.), until you are both satisfied exlusively with Me and the life that I have prepared for you, you can't experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me; and this is the perfect love."
"And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. In My time, I want you to see in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely that everlasing union of beauty, perfection and love that I offer you with Myself."
"Know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied"
