This tweet made me sigh and smile at the same time

Max Lucado:

"Sitting in the purse department watching my wife Denalyn stalk her prey. These purses don't stand a chance. She has her game-face on"

Max Lucado:

"Why another purse? I've used the same wallet for a decade. If I say something, she'll ask me how much I spend on golf. So, I just sit and wince"

Max Lucado:

"Leaving purse store. Denalyn is smiling and I'm thinking that a woman who can put up with me for 29 years deserves any purse she wants"

God has been teaaching me several lessons in the last month or so. I've learn that when you open your heart to correction, you basically risk being hurt and exposed. But the risk is worth it because it brings about growth and it teaches you to be humble and less prideful.

I shared this at Sunday Morning Prayer at Church the other day.

Three things Gods been revealing to me:

1- Not to be selfish (don't make yourself a throne)
2- Martha & Mary principle
3- To take part in the Church family, not just in YD

I'm gonna talk about point number 3 and share how God has humor and how he does funny things. After sharing at Sunday Morning prayer, in particular about point 3. During the prayer circles at Church. One of the Pastors at Church asked me if I could back up for him this coming Sunday. (For those who don't know him, he basically has a worshipp team with members that are mainly adults). Then, in the afternoon service I was sitting and watching the worship team practice for the afternoon service and Kuya Prody, Tita Nanette and Tito Jimmy asked me to back up with them to help them out, and I replied saying "no it's okay it's a family thing" as I saw their kids and nephew playing for them also. Then Tito Jimmy said something that just made me laugh and smile to Heaven... He said "are we not family?"

LOL. so I ended up backing up for them. God is so funny. When He wants something for me, He'll make it happen through any shape or form.

He makes me smile.

I had a really great weekend! Bible Study, Sleep over watching Modern Family at the Verzosas, Armory Cafe, Archery, Ikea Dinner and Photos with my closest friends!

Chocolate Sundae

Tomorrow will be exactly a week of being twenty-three. Quite amazed at how fast five years can go.

Five years ago I was eighteen, I graduated from High School and I got my drivers license.

Five years ago I finished leading my first Bible Study and watched them graduate to YA.

Today, I got my blood test results, everything is pretty much normal apart from my iron level being a little low (due to being sick 2 weeks ago) and my platelet count is borderline thrombocytosis.

Thrombocytosis is the presence of high platelet counts in the blood, and can be either reactive or primary (also termed essential and caused by a myeloproliferative disease). Although often symptomless (particularly when it is a secondary reaction), it can predispose to thrombosis in some patients.

Doctor says she isn't too worried about it but I should get another blood test to monitor it in the next month or so.

Today I got 100% in my "Life of Christ" exam at Bible College.

After Bible College I ate a chocolate sundae - which I had just finished prior to typing up this blog entry - hence the title of this blog.

Today I applied for CITY2SURF! (Well, Grace did it for me cause I don't have a credit card) So excited to do it!!! Grace & I are going to start training for it this Saturday 7am for 7km! It is so achievable!!! GO TEAM!

Got Afternoon Shift tomorrow. yay sleep in!
