Against Their Will...

Sometimes, people keep their distance not because they have totally forgotten about you... but only because they have decided to give you exactly what you want: they gave you time, they gave you space... even if it devastated them.

Love Is My Best Birthday Gift

On the eve of my 30th birthday, I cried... but not due to despondence but because of bliss.  

Experiencing the Holy Spirit... that was Daddy God's birthday gift for me on my 30th birthday... plus the assurance that I am so much loved.

I am loved by my children.  I'm blessed to have my kids even at an early age because Raisha and Andy are so sweet, kind and loving.  Sometimes, it's hard being a single mom.  But to experience their love and to witness how they love each other is more than enough reason for me to be thankful that God chose me to be their mother.

I am loved by my family.  We may have had our differences, but I know how much my family loves me, most especially my parents.  My pain is their pain.  Our support system could not be easily shaken.  In my weakest points, I was strengthened by the warmth of their embrace and the assurance that they'll all be there for me no matter what.

I am loved by my friends.  They are like the extension of my family.  Not only were they there to party with me during those Friday nightouts, but they were also there to listen to my repetitive rants.  In every heartbreak they were there to remind me that it's more of the guy's loss.  Lolz!

Time will come, a guy out there will fall in love with me and accept me wholeheartedly for who I am and for who I was.  My heart may not have been spared from heartache, but that's no excuse for me to give up.  I may not be meant for those guys who broke my heart or whose hearts I have broken, but my heart is meant for someone.  I know in time, our roads will meet.

Yes, I am loved. :)  I am so much loved.  I may be single right now but I'm loved by the people I treasure the most.

Daddy God, thank You so much for letting me celebrate Your love by experiencing it through the love of my family and friends.  In turn, I promise to love them, just like how much You love them.
