My First Nike Pair

There are but a few things that would make a woman giddy with excitement aside from snagging a new pair of shoes. I swear, just the idea of buying myself a pair awhile ago was making me squeal with delight. :) Now that's Christmas is just around the corner, sale kung sale talaga everywhere!!! So today, my agenda was to buy myself a good pair of rubber shoes for gym next week (yes, nagbabalik-loob na po ako).





Although it was years ago since I bought the sporty-kind of shoes, it was only today that I bought a branded pair. I hardly owned anything that was branded the moment I hit grade 4... because that was the time when we went through a financial crisis (just a quick Throwback sharing :P)

My family lost a lot of things during that time -- like our house, cars, businesses... It was a difficult time but it was also a time that my sisters and I were grateful for because that was when we grew up. It was the time when we pushed ourselves to find value and purpose apart from the all the material things that the world offers... and maybe that's why we had to go through it in the first place :)

So it was only when we started working that we started to get back on our feet. We've still got a long way to go in buying ourselves a new house... and I remembered how I told my friend a few years back on how great it would be to have a day when I didn't have to think about money and my fam and I can just shop for whatever we want. Lol! I said that without resentment or bitterness, but with just sheer candidness and excitement. :P

Who knows when that will happen but I'm thankful for today -- I'm thankful that something seemingly so simple and easily dismissive for the rich kids of the world can still make me happy. :)

So yaaaaayyyyy! Thank you Lord for my new kicks! hehe!

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

i love You

Just sneaking in a post to share how God has been good to me all my life :) Somehow, no matter how much I try or anyone tries, I haven't felt loved and I couldn't love the way God loves me. When I talk to people and I try to describe God's love, every analogy falls short... simply because His love is just so much more intense and it's unconditional. For this post, I want to share the role that love plays in allowing God to be the Lord of my life. :) When we talk about Lordship, it usually entails a sharp intake of breath and begrudgingly opening our hands to release something that we have held on for too long... but Lordship can also be a natural response to what is already made complete in us. Lordship, at its best, is an expression of love. :)

This Thing Called "Grace"

I'll be off work for the rest of the month (yaaaay!) and I'm excited to just sit in coffee shops, with my notebook on hand, or to plop a pillow on the bed and catch up on my reading list... Excited for the quiet stillness that the next several days would bring. There are still merry making days and huling-hirit parties but there will also be quiet times in which I could t just soak in everything and I know that it will do my soul well :) With all the busyness that this season brings, just taking a few moments to take everything in will do you good too :)
