22nd Month :) PB: Why do you love me? Me: Because the Lord loves me. It is His love that enables me to love you. As long as He loves me, I will love you. I believe, He will always love me.

But I don’t want small talk. Text me, and without saying hello, tell me why you got so angry at your sister this morning. Tell me why you have a scar shaped like Europe on the left side of your neck. Send me paragraphs about the time you spent at your grandmother’s house that one summer. Call me when I’m half asleep and tell me why you believe in God. Tell me about the first time you saw your dad cry. Go on for hours about things that may not seem important because I promise that I’ll be hanging on to every word you say. Tell me everything. I don’t want someone who just talks about the weather.

The Sweetest Cupcake

Have you ever tasted a cupcake that is soooo good that you wanted everyone to taste it too?

You felt the tender sweetness, the fine texture, the right mix of everything that perfectly melts in your mouth.

And what would you do if you got one for free and you got some more because somebody paid all of it for you?

You wanted to spread it around, right?

By word of mouth or through whatever form,…

Project I W.I.L.L.: Praise Report

Project I WILL: Praise Report

I have so much to tell about this whole project. – how my life was before it came to mind and all the life-changing things the happened in between. But, I put them all aside now in light of the much more amazing things that the Lord blessed us on the day of the Project I WILL Christmas party treat for the kids.

Here are the highlights of that wonderful and awesome day. I thank and praise God for…

My high school bestfriend who's a nurse asked me to design for their Christmas shirt. She's designated in the delivery room and she told me that the theme should be something related to that area.

Then, this is what I made. :) I like it so much that I want to have the same shirt for myself (even if I'm not a practicing nurse). Hihihi.

Haaay, maybe, I should start making my own design portfolio na. Haha. Glory to the One true Deliverer! :)

15 Fun Facts About Us*

1. We pray over the phone just before we end our evening convos.

It started with a 40-day prayer challenge which I came across over the internet when we were only more than one-month old as bf/gf. Exactly today, we are on the 15th month and we still do that almost every night.

2. We decided not to travel (for leisure when it's just the two of us) until we get married.

We both love to experience different places but we have to put this longing on hold because we wanted to save the best for last. Chos. Nah, we just don't have money for that yet. Chos again. Haha. The real reason is that we wanted to honor first the Lord and prioritize His ministry above all things. We also wanted to spare ourselves from situations that could lead us to temptations. IYKWIM.

3. We have a love journal and it's one of our faith goals to have our story well-documented.

Even before Day 1, I've been keeping one [journal] for us and for our future generation to see. Instead of celebrating and highlighting our monthsaries, I choose to write the memories that we have in our journey together on a monthly basis. That includes our witty conversations, itineraries/plans whenever we meet, revelations, epiphanies, inside jokes, surprises, faith goals, prayers and even our fights. Haha. I'm praying that we'd get to publish them all into a love book someday. 

Opposite:

4. I'm an owl nighter and he's an early bird riser.

5. He loves to speak and I love to write.

6. He's a movie buff and I am not.

7. I'm a computer techie and he is not.

8. I love playing with colors and he is colorblind.

9. He loves to joke around and I like serious stuffs.

10. He is spontaneous and I want things to be well-planned.

Alike:

11. We're both left-handed.

12. We got a mole on the left 'sentido-kumon' part

13. Our pointing(?) {errr, second) toes are longer than our big toes.

14. We don't eat ice cream alone. (We always have the desire to share such simple joy and treat the people around.)

15. We are deeply in love because the Lord Jesus first loved us so much.

We aren't a perfect couple just as we are imperfect in our individual selves. We do have fights (a lot, actually haha). But we have a perfect God who's ever faithful in what He promises and always gracious in what He does. His love for us has sustained our love for each other up to this day and for the past 15 months. :)

*Sharing this today in celebration of our 15 months of laughin', teasin', annoyin' and of course, lovin'. :) Tehee! To God be the glory! :)

At first you think she is plain; then a sort of spiritual beauty imposes itself on you, and you find a fascination in watching her […] She is both detached and human, silent till she wants to say something and then says it supremely well.
