Birthday Cake :)

Yesterday afternoon I silently prayed to God that I want a cake with a candle to blow. Though not necessarily a birthday cake, any cake will do.  Few tears were running on my cheek while praying for it. My husband noticed it and asks me why I was crying and of course I just say I am okay, it is just happy tears.

That night someone came and brought a cake, when I saw the cake I cannot help but cried. I cried because I was praying for a cake. She gave me a cake because for her that was the most convenient thing to buy as a gift. Not knowing that I silently prayed for it that afternoon.  And not just cake but someone brought me perfume and grapefruit milk lotion, the scent it so good, really good.

After thirty minutes a group of people came and they brought me to tears again, because they brought me a cake. All the more I am amazed by God. They were wearing party hats and it is like children’s party.  Before my birthday, I and my husband were thinking where to take them for my birthday but I am just surprised to see them outside of our house. They brought some pizzas and drinks. And my husband knows about the surprise.

Afterwards a good friend of mine came with another cake and totally I am 101% amazed by the goodness of God in my life.

My birthday ended with three cakes from different stores and with different flavors and each cake has its own candle to blow. I was able to blow each cake with the candles. I am just blown away by the goodness of God. Yes it is just a cake but for me it is not just a cake. It is about the goodness and the faithfulness of God. It is about God as a heavenly father to me. Now that I am married all the more I see the fatherly heart of God.

God’s provision doesn’t necessarily to be grandeurs though God is a grandeurs God.  Sometimes it comes in a most simple way yet so awesome.  I learned that God’s provision doesn’t always to be in a form of money. It could be;

1. Good friends with good relationship
2. Shared lives
3. Time

God will provide good friends with good relationship so that we can share lives. God will provide time even though how busy people are just to catch up with each other.

Thank you even for some people who stayed late with us waiting for August 12 and even took the time to share their thoughts about me. This is all my first time experience.

Stay blessed 🙂

Worth The Fight :)

Love I know that this marriage doesn’t give us assurance that we will fight no more, but instead I think we will be having more fights.

We may fight each other, but we will fight for each other and I will be your warrior princess.

These are some of the few lines in my vow during our wedding day and I guess it is true. It is not that we fight everyday but there were really passionate discussions between us. We were married for nine months already and I thank God that we are surrounded with people who were married for more than 10 years . Of course it is always a blessing to be married to a godly man but it doesn’t assure us that everything will go smoothly.  We are still living in a sinful world which means we need to deal with the imperfections of our spouse till our last breath. It is quite challenging but all the more I see the hands of God at work in us. I didn’t come from a happy family; both my parents are not in good terms since I was three years old up to now. (It’s okay, they don’t actually read my blog, they just click like 🙂 ) But this will not define my married life.

Our married life is worth fighting for, it is worth the fight. Both the husband and the wife should commit to fight for their marriage. There must be this sense of security and loyalty that no matter what happens our spouse will fight for us. Our enemy is not our spouse, Satan is our enemy. We need to fight the battle together. We will fight for our married life.

Again our spouse is not perfect. No one is perfect in a marriage but our marriage is always worth fighting for because Jesus won the battle already. It is also my prayer that I will see my husband the way God sees him. We will always come to a point of hurting each other through our words and actions but true love covers them all. Let us be reminded how God defines love and not how society defines it.

The third party that is allowed in our married life is God. Actually, we don’t consider God as third party; He is the first and top most priority. Two is better than one, with God at the center makes it more even better.

Humility is very important. And I admit that I am having hard times with this one but the grace of God is always available for us, it enables us to control our temper and say NO to what is not pleasing in His eyes. What is not pleasing in God’s eyes will eventually hurt our spouse as well.

Kin and I are so blessed to have these people in our life. (Victory Group)

Stay Blessed 🙂
