September 28, 2021- Forever Grateful for your Life

Dear Marianne/Yam/Yammy bear, How are you? Just a simple question but every time you hear or read this question, I know you're in deep thoughts questioning yourself how well are you really. " For God is working in you, giving you the DESIRE and the POWER to do what pleases him." - Philippians 2:13, this is your devotional on this day 5 years before. I don't know what may happen to you, what are you doing now, what are you experiencing-- may it be happiness or sadness, who are you with, and what are the special things so dear to you. One thing I'm sure of that this verse can help you go through and encourage you to keep going. And this can be your testimony in church, I can already feel the goosebumps hehe. A blessed and happy 27th birthday! I'm currently listening to this song at 9:12 AM, listen to this again. It's entitled "Breathing Underwater" by Emeli Sande. Just a random song from spotify while doing this reflective journal as your requirement in Psychiatric Nursing under Prof. Beliran. Yes this is a requirement, but I can't explain my feelings while writing a letter to you. I'm so humbled, grateful for this opportunity. I feel like writing a whole long paragraph but I can't stitch my words for you hahaha. Ok back to the song, I think I just found my new favorite song at this very moment. Listen to it again and reflect. You may hear the lyrics says "Yes you could call me spiritual, cause physical is fear." This is so true right. Look at you now. 5 years before you have experienced a lot of challenges, persecutions, problems, and discouragement. You did it with the help of the Lord. God proved them wrong. God showed you how great He is in your life. My wish for you today is that be a living testimony how faithful and great God is in your life. I'm so proud and happy for whatever you have achieved right now. Another lyric from the song I can relate right now of what I'm feeling towards you says, " And today is jealous of tomorrow.", I know you are way better than who I am now. For the mean time, I cannot get whatever I want now because I'm financially dependent on mama and papa. I'll list the things here that you wanted 5 years back then. Remember you wanted to eat lechon now hahaha, you wanted to buy fancy skin care products, an aircon for your room and for the house in Deca, a car of your own, and you wanted to cook all the foods showed by the tasty page in Facebook. Have you achieved it all now? If yes, I'm so proud of you, if not yet then keep pushing, okay? Oh, and remember, there are a lot of things you saved post in Facebook about home decorations, architecture, landscaping, and your favorite color scheme for your house. Do you have it all now? Wow you must be living in my dreams as of the moment. You must've been from your work as a nurse or you may have duty later, but always remember your goal why you became one okay? To have a hospital ministry. These are all the thing I envisioned you today, but if my path does not follow the path you went through right now, I want you to know that it's okay. It's always okay. Because I know, that path is from the Lord. Just like a sticker posted at the side of your study table back then, God has plans for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Stay positive all the time. Radiate your light to other people. You are a blessing. You are wonderful. You are amazing because you are God's masterpiece. After study, study, study.... Pray, pray, and pray. God loves you! P.s. show this message to your husband and little one/s. I'm sure they'll laugh, yet they’ll be happy and encouraged that you made one for yourself. Keep safe and enjoy your day!
