There is more to LIFE!

 "Life is a beautiful struggle".
One cold morning, as I have my coffee in our garden, it suddenly flash on my mind, my life 10 years ago. I was suffering from severe pain, by which I cannot tolerate , from my lower back radiating down to my legs. It leads to weakness of my whole body. Oh, my God? What is this? My wedding day is set already, yet, I don't feel good?

It's a blessing I had a husband like him With all his support, with all his care, we fight against this struggle. I underwent several tests, and the last, we consulted orthopedic specialist, to find out, I have herniated disc. So much do's and dont's! From there, it all started. My disappointments, my depressions, my fear, and perhaps all negative thoughts in the world sink in tomy mind.
When I gave birth to my daughter  2 years after, it became worst. I had to undergo therapy, need to brace my body.! I feel bad terribly. I cannot take care of my baby, can't even have her in my arms, I just look at her, watch her,,,, I can do nothing for her, for my family. I felt lost by that time... I thought, what is more to life, if I am in this condition?

With the moral support of my whole family, as well as my daughter being my inspiration, little by little, I tried to accept my condition. According to Jk Bowling " understanding is the first step in acceptance and only with acceptance can there be recovery". That's what I did. I tried to understand whats going on with my system? Why and how it occurs, I studied my condition personally through research, I accept the truth that my activities are limited  only, but then I tried to do other things, by which I could be of great help to others despite of my conditon...

     Now, while taking my coffee, watching over my garden, I couldnt imagine, how I was able to come up with this beautiful garden, flashing back my condition, several years ago. And I could say, there is more to life. No matter how worst is our condition, do not just lay down, and think of yours, because outside, there are people, who suffers worst, yet, THEY MAKE LIFE BEAUTIFUL!

Mission in Life

I would like to thanks God for the 33 years of my  existence in this world full of struggle, full of challenges, and full of surprises. We do exist for a mission! It is only in the accomplishment  of our mission that we achieve  self-fulfillment. In every second that has passed by, let us always take a look and reflect on to what we've done.
In my 33 years of existence, I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good to enough to accomplish my mission. My question is "How far have I gone?" Did I play my part?"
On this day, I may ask to the Lord to give me another year of life that is  really fulfilling. Help me Lord to inspire others and to lead other people to become your good followers.
I think the greatest mission is to serve others...

My hubby's virtue

It was one friday morning, when I woke up, my husband is already in the kitchen, preparing for our breakfast. I sat on the table beside him complaining,,,,

"Daddy, "

"?"

"It's friday".

"And so."

" I feel bad"

"Why?"

"Friday is my STRESSFUL DAY, because my class schedule is full. I  can't take this anymore managing, 7 classes in the whole day, with unpredictable behavior of different personality of  students, thats why I hate Friday."

He puts his arm on my shoulder and said " I love EVERYDAY".

 Because everyday is a new day... Everyday, I have you with the kids! Everyday is a new opportunity for us to touch the lives of our students!

All of a sudden, I feel better...

He is truly my partner, my lover, my best friend, my courage, my inspiration...

"To teach is to touch lives forever".

Optimism

Prayer is powerful! To become positive thinker, one must have gain TRUST unto the Lord. For in Him, there is no DOUBT, no FEAR, no WORRIES.

 Being optimistic is a good virtue. It makes oneself stress-free.
Personally, I am that kind of a person who is always considering the positive and negative consequences of any decision I make. There is always, WHAT IF?

When I become a member of CFC, and received the HOLY SPIRIT from God, little by little, I learn to TRUST, and throw away my FEARS.

Courage

It was my first time...it feels like, I'm vanished . Mixed emotions perhaps.
Oh, it's really unforgettable. Don't know if you had the same feelings...

Temperance

How do you rate your temperance management? Are you asuch good manager of emotions? Or are you that impulsive one?
       
              As an ideal  individual, temperance is one of the virtues we must possess. For it is in possessing temperance, that  we will be free  from violence.

              But how can we manage temperance?
It is said that "Temperance is the foundation of love". Let us nurture the seed  of love in our heart so that it grows into a plant of goodness, that is our entire personality, by which we can adapt ourselves into different situations, no matter, how worst it is, but still, there is TEMPERANCE.

              Well I could say that possessing this virtue is really a GIFT.

LOVE

"The measure of our love, is to love without measure".
     
           Are you in love?
          How do you show your love?
          How much is your love?
          How deep is your love?
