What a special person I must be to be loved by God so much.
Today, I am celebrating my 9th anniversary with the Lord. I still remember vividly the day when I said, "I do" to God, Jesus, my savior. What a very, very cherished memory that is -- the day that my soul was saved.
Lord, when I look back at my life, I know that you have been guiding me even long before I got baptized. Remember the day that you opened my eyes to the power of prayer with Mark 11:26? I will always remember how you answered my prayers and gave me a taste of the rewards of faith.
Oh, how great it was when I shared dreams with You. When I started excelling in school in elementary, I knew it was because you were with me. I remember praying to win contests one after another and how I did win a lot of them. I remember how I used to pray to graduate valedictorian of my class. Despite the odds, I did manage to graduate first in my class. Lord, who else could have done it but You? You have allowed me to achieve things in my young life. You have allowed me to preach in the pulpit as an 11 year old girl. I smile when I think about it. I smile when I remember how much you have allowed me to see at such a young age.
Lord, even through high school You were with me. You allowed me to conquer not just the academic world, extracurricular acvities. You have allowed me to conquer relationships. My enemies have become my friends. You have surrounded me with people who loved and liked me. Lord, how very blessed I was.
Lord, when I started to sin with impurity, you didn't keep silent. YOu bothered my soul and told me that I was going to hell if I didn't change. You did not let me rest. You made me anxious and depressed because of my sin. You've allowed me to be friends with Kathy Canson so she could reach out to me. Lord, You have given her the heart to share her faith with me and to study the Bible with me.
Lord, You saw the nights when I cried because I wanted to feel close to You again. You have put it in my heart to seek You. Lord, You never let go of me. Lord, Lord, You love me so much.
You allowed me to get baptized before my family. They witnessed how I was baptized. Though there was opposition from them, You made them love me. You made them accept me for who I was. Lord, You allowed me to lead your sons and daughters in the campus ministry. You gave me the divine task of caring for their souls. Lord, who am I that You should trust me? I have failed time and again, yet You rescued me from my sins and gave one chance after another.
Lord, when I struggled with my love life, You were there for me through the ups and downs, and the pains. Lord, You were my comfort and refuge. Lord, You are my ONLY real, genuine best friend in this world. Oh Lord, there's no one like You in my life.
Lord, now that I am married, You have allowed me and my husband to go through a heart wrenching trial. I trust your heart Lord. I trust your purpose in everything even though I am so short sighted and I still don't understand your purposes for our experience. Lord, I want to be faithful to You -- no matter how rough it may take.
I know that You will be faithful to me no matter what. I have proven You faithful YOu Lord and I know that You will never let go of me. Lord, You are the real essence of my life. Everything starts and ends with You. You really are the Lord and center of my life Lord.
Father, I pray give me the strength to stay faithful to You until the end of time. But, I request Lord that along side with me, please save my husband, our children, our parents, our siblings. Lord, that is the ultimate dream of my life. I know that YOu are pleased with this prayer and I will see this come true someday. Lord, I know that You are faithful and my prayers don't fall on deaf ears. Lord, please keep tatay and nanay faithful. Please reach out to Ever. Please don't let Satan slave her any longer. Lord, You alone are savior of our souls.
Lord, help me to love those who are difficult to love. Please help me to have Your heart and the heart of Jesus.
Lord, Father, my Love, my Lover, my husband, my bestfriend, my groom, happy 9th anniversary. I love you so much!!! Grow my love for You even more. I love you!!!!!

Reconnecting to You Lord...
Lord,
If my heart is like a well, then I have become shallow. I used to enjoy a really deep relationship with You. One that's so strong and so passionate. I remember crying whenever I felt that my heart was drifting away. I was so afraid of losing You.
Whenever I recall how much we went through together, especially when Joe was in the hospital, I get a faint memory of how intensely I prayed to You for His life. Lord, the past is but a breeze in my memory now but I know that we went through intense things together.
Lord, I can't even put into words how I miss the time that all I could think of was You. I ran to You when I opened my eyes in the morning and called on You before I slept at night. You were my fortress and deliver. No one could give me comfort except You.
How quickly I have forgotten what You have done for me Oh Lord. You have brought me far from the time you picked me up from the pit. My sad past no longer has its hold on me. I was younger back then but I how grateful I was that You saved me!
Lord, I wish I could describe your goodness to me with the most perfect words. I wish I could really, really proclaim your goodness but alas, I am lost for words. But, I have all the memories inside my heart, Lord and I will not forgot how You've come through for me again and again.
Lord, I am still saddened when I remember about almost losing my husband. I didn't even imagine what inner strength You have given me until You pushed me to the limit. Looking back, I don't know if I can bear to go through another heart breaking time. I am scared to even think about it. But I remember all the prayers I said. I remember praying and begging and pleading for Joe's life. I remember all the tears I shed before You. I remember all the sisters who prayed and wrestled with me and I hope they are all in good hands now.
Lord, the future ahead is bleak for I don't know what tomorrow holds. Lord, even now, I am in a maze but You are not. You know exactly where You are leading our lives into. There will be sad and happy times. There will be celebrations and utter mourning. Oh Lord, if only I wasn't born into this world! I wish I was just one of your angels in heaven, praising and serving You all day and night. As it is, I have to go through life, loving people only to lose them at one point of my life. Lord, what a painful life we have here on earth!
Father, I pray that you take me away before my loved ones. I am not sure I can handle losing any of them. You know what I can bear. You know what's best for me.
Father, whom do I have in heaven and earth but You? You alone knows what lies ahead. IT will be wise of me to remain in You. With you, I can be sure that all things will go according to a divine and perfect plan. Lord, give me the strength, heart, dedication, to accept the lot you have given me in life.
Lord, may I ever be faithful to You in all circumstance. May I always believe that life goes as You planned and your plans are for the best. Lord, for whatever reason You allowed Joe and myself to go through such a tough, tough time...Lord, may your will be done.
I love you still. Please help me find my way back to You. I love you Lord. Amen.
