I wasn’t able to post again yesterday because I had a hectic day and it wasn’t even as I had planned it out to be! *sighs* You see, I was supposed to attend this:

I was also supposed to meet up with Mommy Sherrie of Baby Depot (aka Baby Smiths) to get the Wonderworld wooden toys she so generously is planning to provide for another giveaway this blessed Easter season.

But God had other things in store for me/us.

Little Therese got sick. She’s been having a fever since Monday evening. (Her pedia told me if she still has a fever until later tonight, I need to bring her for a check-up tomorrow. Please pray she is healed completely!)

Anyway, despite this and my planned day not pushing through, I would like to share what the daily dose of amazing grace for yesterday was supposed to be about. You see, on Sunday, I was feeling a bit down and trying hard not to wallow in self-pity because we had decided that we wouldn’t be moving to the apartment we had been looking at and praying for in Cubao anymore (which is much closer to my and hubby’s offices and right across from my in-laws’ – close enough for me to go home for lunch with the kids during my reporting days at the office!).

Our reason for not moving? We couldn’t afford the rent, which the landlady had raised from its original price.

I was kinda bummed about it. OK, I was A LOT bummed. So I posted this on my Facebook profile:

Oh Lord, remove all the worries and concerns in my heart and head and help me to see that You indeed are enough, MORE THAN ENOUGH, and that You have already given us ALL THAT WE NEED. All is well. Let me say it again, with all my heart, ALL IS WELL IN YOU, LORD. ♥

I felt much better after that. And I made peace with our decision (which was intricately linked to another major decision / thing we have been praying about – more on that in another post!). I let go and let God and let Him comfort me.

But then, yesterday, my mother-in-law called and said the landlady of the said apartment wanted to talk to me. So I called her and GUESS WHAT?! She had decided to relent and let us rent the apartment for the price that we had wanted (and can barely afford, LOL!). PRAISE BE JESUS! Thank you, Mama Mary! 🙂 ALL IS WELL INDEED!

I’m sharing this with you, dear friends, because you may be facing the same situation: you may be feeling hopeless, wallowing in self-pity, searching for answers, questioning God’s plan, etc. I’ve learned (a lot of thanks to Bo Sanchez!) that when we declare something to the universe, God will really respond to us through it! 🙂 So today, whatever you may be feeling or facing, declare with me:

Believe that ALL IS WELL IN THE LORD! 🙂


Needless to say, we’ll be moving to Cubao very soon – pray for me/us as I need to take care of packing, etc, since hubby will be only back from the Conference he’s serving at on April 30, the day of our intended move! We will miss living in Cainta and being one tricycle ride away from my parents, but, at this point, hubby and I believe that living in Cubao is part of God’s will and plan for us. (Thanks to everyone who joined us in prayer for this, by the way! You guys rock! 🙂

Anyway, that was what I wanted to post for yesterday. 🙂
