This is bad. I just noticed that the pictures in my posts are missing. Oh, please don't tell me they were not included in the transfer from Wordpress....

So now I have to check my posts and try to upload the pictures indicated....

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Goodbye, Wordpress!

Love Me or Leave Me is now moving to Blogger!

I think it would be easier for me to manage all my blogs if I can access them thru one dashboard.

I'm going to miss Wordpress! I've been with them for over 2 years...and that was my very first blog. (Hmmm...I think I tried to create one with Blogger first but the name I wanted wasn't available anymore...)

I copied my blog's stats before I exported my posts...

The Princess has met her Prince

It has been more than half a year since I last posted an entry here. I got so busy with...life. :-) A lot has happened in the past months and it has been one spectacular roller coaster ride ;-)

Today is father's day and I wanted to surprise my husband with this post (sorry, sungit, wala ako gift!). Yes, I've been a wife for amost 5 months now and life has been sweet.  :-) It's mainly because I married a good person. I am very much blessed to have married my best friend and the best partner for me.

Joe and I have known in each other for more than 3 years now. We met in November of 2006. It was just a normal Saturday for me as I only had Sagip to attend to that day. Who knew that I would meet my future husband under the most ordinary circumstances? :-) We've been friends ever since and the foundation of our friendship really is serving together in GK.

We've been through a lot especially in the first few months of our relationship as an official couple. But we managed to survive and overcome all those difficult situations. It really helped to strengthen our bond more. That is why even if we often had disagreements, we still believed that we were meant to be together forever.

Joe proposed after 6 months of being boyfriend-girlfriend. Of course, I said yes immediately. I didn’t have to think about it because I wouldn’t have said yes to be his girlfriend in the first place if I didn’t think that he was the man for me. We originally wanted a year to plan the wedding. However, some developments at his work led us to move the wedding to January instead of October. We didn’t want to be apart and we really don't believe in building a family from 2 different places.

The 3 months leading to the wedding was a blur. We were both very busy with work plus it was the holidays. It was really such a blessing that my mother in law was so helpful & supportive. Well, we were able to pull it off. :-D We had so much fun at our wedding. We were so happy that most of our family members and dearest friends celebrated the special day with us.

Days (even weeks!) after the wedding, Joe and I still couldn’t get over the fact that we were acutally married. ;-) We also couldn’t help but smile a lot. Finally, we were husband and wife.

Joe and I feel so blessed, more so now that we are married. The relationship feels more special knowing that we went into this with the Lord as our witness. When we think about it, almost everything came easy for our relationship. And we believe that it is because we are living God’s plan for us.

When I was younger, I would always say that I couldn’t wait for God to reveal His plans for me. I was always searching and waiting for something. Now, I can say that I am settled. :-)

My husband is a living testimony that God indeed has planned the best for us. He is the perfect partner for me. I am really so blessed as Joe loves me unconditionally and wholeheartedly. He wants nothing but the best for me and I am confident that he will take care of me and our future family through thick and thin. He is truly my prince.

A friend once told me that marrid life is fun if you are with the right partner. I couldn't agree more. Married life is not all roses. It is really hard work. But the love, support and respect you have for one another make it all worth it.

The first five months have been great and we know that the future will still be brighter as we are expecting additional blessings in 4 months. ;-) We will soon be parents to our first children! ;-) Yes, children and not child as we are expecting twins! :-D  I know that my husband will  also be a good father and the best dad my kids will ever have.

There have been a lot of adjustments in my life but I wouldn't trade my life now with anything. God gives you the best and He prepares you for it. Joe is really a blessing and I will be forever grateful.

[Surprise, Sungit! :-D Happy Father's Day! I love you very much :-) Happy Father's Day also from Maxx & Sugar (hehehe...since we're not sure yet)]

Why Worry?

I just want to re-post this article from the Purpose Driven Daily Devotional.

Why Worry? by Rick Warren “And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” (Matthew 6:30 NLT).

Do you tend to expect the worst? Do you panic when you get a letter with IRS stamped on the envelope or when you hear a rumor about layoffs at work? The word worry comes from an old English word meaning “to choke or strangle.” Of course, that’s exactly what worry does to your productivity and happiness. It’s a self-defeating waste of time. In his famous Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:25–34), Jesus gave four reasons for not worrying and the secrets of overcoming it: 1. Worry is unreasonable. To worry about something you can’t change is useless. To worry about something you can change is foolish! And every time you review a worry in your mind, it just gets bigger. Worry amplifies problems out of proportion. 2. Worry is unnatural. You weren’t born a worrier. It is a learned response to life. In fact, you have to practice to get good at it. Fortunately worry can be unlearned. The only species in God’s creation that worries is human beings. We don’t think God will take care of us. 3. Worry is unhelpful. It doesn’t work. It can’t change the past. It can’t control the future. It only makes you miserable today. Worrying about a problem never solves the problem. 4. Worry is unnecessary. God has promised to take care of you if you’ll trust him with the details of your life. As a child, if you asked your father for lunch money you never worried about where it would come from. That was his problem. Let God be God in your life! “God will take care of you, just have faith.” How can I break the worry habit? First, trust God with every area of your life: “But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to” (Matthew 6:32 LB). Second, live just one day at a time: “So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time” (Matthew 6:34 LB).

He Opens a Window

He Opens a Window by Jim Rule

I thought that I was well prepared for all life had in store.

It seemed that I had everything and could not ask for more.
Now the things I thought I wanted have vanished with the wind.
But I won’t give in to despair. I’ll look again and look within.

Chorus:
For when God closes a door
He opens a window
But we need to open our eyes.
For when God closes a door
He opens a window
Blessings can come in disguise,
But we need to open our eyes.

It’s hard to know just what to do or even what to say
When hope is gone. You can’t go on, and everything looks gray,
And the things you thought you wanted are nowhere to be found.
If you feel lost and all alone then look again, and look around.

Chorus

Sometimes we pray for an answer.
Sometimes the answer is “No!”
But what we do with each answer
Can show us how we live and how we grow.

And now, at last, I understand. I know just what to do,
And though it’s not the way I planned,
His plan comes shining through.
Thought I knew just what I wanted. Got what I need instead,
And with His love to guide me through,
I’ll look again and look ahead.

Chorus

But we need to open our hearts.
Believe it, and that’s how it starts.

I'm not sure how this song goes but the message is very nice. :-)

We shouldn't lose hope eventhough there may be times that the future looks bleak. He provides us with various opportunities. We just have to be patient and trust Him completely.

Thank you, dear Father, for the windows you open. ;-)

May God be praised.

God bless you all!!! :-)
