After I surrendered my life to Jesus, it was my immediate family’s salvation that I prayed for intensely. I wanted for them to have the same joy I am experiencing – a personal relationship with God.
On my journey, I also remembered my relatives. I was even trying to understand how can they be saved too since we have this big family. Who would share the good news with them? Will they accept Jesus? How can I invite them to church? I have so many questions.
In 2011 I learned some things about our family. From my mother’s side, there is at least one Christian now in each family. It may be a youth, a father, a family, and God has showed me that there are only two of mom’s siblings that have no “Christian” yet in their family. I was able to chat with my cousin one day and was so grateful to know that he is a Christian now. What I felt for my immediate family is his feelings right now. I know what God is doing in my own loved ones; He can surely do the same for my cousin’s.
It is so comforting to know that eventhough I prayed for that many years ago, God answers are still coming.
Lord, thank You that when You saved me, You did not stop with only me. Thank You for doing Your way for the rest of my family. I pray that in my lifetime I will see your goodness for all my loved ones.
I can't wait to more discoveries of You!

The Man I Truly Love
I can still remember that time when it’s you whom I only want to be with. I feel so secured and safe when we are together. I miss the times when we play; I miss those habulan; I miss that laughter that we shared; I miss being just your little girl. Years passed and so many things have come and gone. We had this 3-year long silence. I made you cry. I hurt you. All because of my disobedience. When it comes to love, I know you only want the best for me. You’ve met all those who tried to win my heart, but all of them didn’t pass your standard. Maybe the right one is still on his way. At one time I was a bit confused why you acted differently when it comes to courting. In the end all I know is that you know what is right for me. The man I almost gave my heart to, you really were disappointed. Just at first glance, you know he is not right for me. Is it true? Definitely, you are correct with your judgment. I’m glad that I have someone like you in my life. Together, we faced big trials lately. I’m glad you are with us as we pass through them. What makes me sad though is that at this time in your life, these sad things happened. I believe it’s now time that we should be the ones making you happy. The physical strength is slowly passing by. I always pray at night that God will give you a good sleep. I still want you to be there and walk with me on that aisle. I still dream of you playing with your grandchildren from me. I still wish of happy moments with you. Tatay, thank you for all your love. Thank you for being the best father I could ever have. Thank you that you are still there whenever I need you. Thank you for keeping me as the apple of your eye. Thank you for all your sacrifices for me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for allowing me to know Jesus in my life. Thank you for forgiving me after all the hurts and pains I caused you. Not everyone is given this chance to have so many happy memories with their fathers, I am so blessed that I am one of the fortunate children. I will be forever grateful to our Lord. I pray that your heart is happy as you celebrate your special day. We still yet to celebrate more years of God’s faithfulness in your life.
Happy, happy birthday Tatay! I love you so much.
