praise God

..for the so many wonderful things and the so many big and small surprises.. ^_^

1. after 30 long years, finally, as in finally, we were able to find a relative, a cousin that is, from my father's side. for those who know my father's story, you would understand why it was that huge an experience for us to be able to speak with another Garnica. such a dream a come. never had i seen papa this happy. and the more important thing is that we found out that his parents are still alive! hooray! and i know, and i claim that come November (that's the latest), they'll be reunited again. i'll find a way. i know God will make it happen. because He knows that if there's one thing in papa's life that's missing, it's the warmth and comfort of his parents' embrace. friends, please please continue to pray for us, especially for resources, and please please pray for my grandparents' health as well. =) thank you very much. =)

2. blessed and powerful and smooth-flowing Christian Life Program. =) from the participants, to the speakers and sharers, to the core team and the service team.. there are some glitches, of course, but every session ends well. so, to that force trying to stop God's work, you can try but you'll never win against God. you can hurt me, do me harm, put me in danger, but no, you can never ever stop me, because i'm telling you with conviction, GOD IS MY STRENGTH! ^_^

3. ate gemma, dearest she, and sistah cat. i know they know why i am so thankful to have them as my sisters and to be able to share my deepest sentiments with them during our household meetings. thank you sisters. =)

4. tweet2. westlife sisters. mae. tin. shy. bez. i haven't seen them for a long time now, but i know, and i can confidently say that they are my friends, best friends, no matter what. =)

5. SFC Chorale Manila. singing with them keeps me inspired, makes me strive to be better, and most of all, fills my heart with joy and contentment. =)

6. good working relationship with my officemates. sharing a good laugh with them makes each day worthwhile, no matter how busy and toxic that day may be. =)

7. best family. need i say more? =)

8. gift of work (sidelines included. :D). need i say more again? =)

9. wisdom. inspiration. little joys. laughter. sleep. rest. relaxation. freedom. security. health. love. answered prayers (most especially for others).

10. life itself. and time. yes, i praise God for time. =)

the list goes on and on and on... truly, if we'll just learn to appreciate even the little blessings, then we'll never run out of things to thank and praise God for. =)

in this battle i'm on, my armor & strength is 2 Timothy 4:16-18. At my first hearing in court no one supported me; all deserted me. May the Lord not hold it against them. But the Lord was at my side, giving me strength to proclaim the Word fully, and let all the pagans hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth. The Lord will save me from all evil, bringing me to His heavenly kingdom. Glory to Him forever and ever. Amen.

end of post. good night and God bless people! ^_^

~*all glory and honor and praise
be to the ancient of days
i praise You, i worship You
my Lord and my King on high*~
