"All things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose."
First of all, I want to thank the Lord because it is already our fourth year stay in this condominium. This was not the mansion or the huge, single house most are dreaming of but I believe this is the promised land where the Lord He promised He will bless our marriage, family and kids. Truly, the Lord is faithful to His promises.
Next, I was surprised that one of my friends approached and trusted me about her deepest, dark secrets she would never tell anyone. It was the Spirit who is at work in our lives. It was also Him who gave me the wisdom what to tell her. At home, we had several phone counselling session after office hours. Admittedly, I am humbled because I am never worthy to hear those confessions but I let go everything and entrust all to Him who is the author and finisher of everything. She said she was relieved to confess everything to me. Praise God for that!
Another opportunity of travel for this month was the fieldtrip of Sam in school. It was fun being with students, teachers and same parents who just like me are excited to see the journey of their kids. There were some controversy in the school of Sam but I know God has a purpose. They have new teacher - Teacher Lucy. Generally, I really admire the character of teachers. They are truly blessing from the Lord and I can only pray for them to be more patient and loving to students as the second parents. May the Lord also honor and give more favor to them.
In the office, I was able to organize a training for my officemates in the office. That was conducted by the OIC of National Conciliation Mediation Board (NCMB) Region IV Mr. Gil Caragayan. I also admire this trainer because during his presentation, he injects humor, truth and word of God which makes the training more inspiring and motivating.
Another day to thank the Lord for was the celebration of 75th birthday of Auntie Puring Pontillas. God is the only provider of good health and long life. Indeed, she is a living witness for receiving God's goodness and faithfulness. We had a simple gathering at the house of my cousins in Bicutan. That simple event was also a simple reunion for Pontillas family.
I love free foods! For this month, I received several invitations. First, at Pancake House because a former officemate passed by our office and he invited lunch last October 17. Last October 20, we had lunch at David's Tea House with our former manager. The next day, we had another free lunch from office Tokyo Tokyo. Before the month ended, we celebrated in the office a birthday of one of our managers - Sir Lino held last October 27.
Last but not the least as for the "Me Time," I had several opportunities to pamper myself that refreshed me personally. I was able to have a home body massage service, went to David's Salon at Greenbelt 1 for hair cut and my favorite hot choco from Starbucks was truly awesome!
Thank you God for you are truly good to me.
