What is he capable of?

My mom asked yesterday how Cody is doing. If he's still working at the gym. I said yes but he's looking for another job. Funny how my mom seriously said that he can just move here and we'll put up a business together - Cody and I.

I told Cody about this. I know how he wouldn't like to move here. Maybe because of the climate. hahaha! Cody told his mom. I asked how his mom reacted. He said she just nodded. I told him jokingly that she might be unhappy with that. I, then, told him that I know he wouldn't want to move here, anyway. His answer surprised me, "You don't know what I'm capable of doing for my honey."

It just took my breath away. hehehe! Seriously.

I should've said, "Am I your honey?" hahaha! just kidding, my Cody! hahaha!

I know it is a huge decision if he ever decide to move here. But then, wherever we are, that's fine with me. According to GOD's Perfect Will.

Oh oh oh...and something that he was capable of doing. I haven't posted about this yet that just totally dawned on me earlier. He is capable of giving a framed photoshopped pictures of us to his mom as a Christmas gift. She was so thrilled. I never knew that that could be a beautiful gift to a mother that she would really like and appreciate. She even asked for it and she loved the outcome. I am just so moved by his affectionate love for me. I could never ask for anything more but a legal marriage. hehehe! We've already planned for our future. I'm very excited for that! It all depends on GOD's Perfect Will now.

Okay that's all for this post. hahaha! GOD's Ways are endless and full of LOVE!

ALL THE GLORY IN THIS RELATIONSHIP BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

P.U.S.H.

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU - NO MATTER WHAT!

10th Monthsary


Love cannot be love without trials.

10 speaks of Testimony; Law and responsibility.

Oh wow! I'm amazed because it is so true.

I only desire for my relationship with Cody to be a testimony of GOD's unfailing love, amazing grace and divine faithfulness. Law because Cody and I have been desiring to have hearts burning for GOD alone and HIS Commands and Will. Responsibility because in everything we do, we are held accountable for our actions and that we must be responsible enough as an individual to be able to show the excellence of GOD. Every Christian must be a reflection of GOD.

As I always say, Cody and I aren't exempted when it comes to trials. As a couple, we encounter complications. With the year of friendship, Cody and I have grown spiritually (THANK GOD). I have learned from him and he has learned from me.

Today, Cody and I are celebrating our 10 months of being a couple of GOD. I must say that Cody and I have strong convictions spiritually as individuals. That is mainly why the first argument we had is about the spiritual aspect of a person. Cody has been very patient with me. As we all know, women are the emotional beings. No one can deny that. Women must admit in order for GOD to work on it. Confess and you shall be healed.

Cody and I had a silly complication today. On our 10th monthsary. hehehe! But I couldn't just leave him hanging so we talked about it. It's amazing how GOD worked in us as an individual and be able to work in us as a couple. I have learned to be more open and admit everything to him. All of the emotional struggles I've had and been having and his patience has been so consistently immense. Today, I've had a new level of emotional and spiritual breakthrough. I'm glad that I've been able to humbly confess my shortcomings and admit my hidden emotional struggles that I've exposed to him. Now, we are getting stronger as a couple and letting GOD do the work in us as we strive to be a couple after GOD's own heart.

I am very much blessed that GOD always gives me the discernment to listen to that still, small voice from HIM. GOD wants this relationship and so do I. Honestly, I am not immune to other men's proposals but then GOD has been so good for giving me the heart of commitment and love. GOD has already scheduled my wedding and marriage with Cody. I am so excited! I am committed to Cody and I do not see myself with another man but him alone. I thank GOD that HE gives me the patience to work out on things in our relationship. I am just so ecstatic to know that for Cody, I am the most influential person in his life (all aspects). Your sense of fulfillment as a Christian comes when you know that you are winning, consolidating and better yet, discipling souls for GOD. Cody is my disciple and I am his disciple. Both of us are JESUS' disciples.

Everyday, I am more in love with Cody. My love for him just grows more each day. I am so overwhelmed with joy. Cody is such a rare gift. I'd tour the world and I will never see anyone like him. Of course, he is unique. Cody is so different in a good way. ALL FOR GOD'S GREATER GLORY ALONE!

But that doesn't stop there, I desire for each one of you to be in JOY with your relationships. My prayers are with you, my friends.

One of Cody's beliefs/convictions that has been confirmed by an email devotional (not full article)...Link

by Dennis and Barbara Rainey

Chemical Reactions

Proverbs 5:1,2 My son, give attention to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding; that you may observe discretion.

This is emotional adultery-an intimacy with the opposite sex outside the marriage. Emotional adultery is unfaithfulness of the heart. When two people begin talking of intimate struggles, doubts or feelings, they may be sharing their souls in a way that God intended exclusively for the marriage relationship.
Emotional adultery is friendship with the opposite sex that has progressed too far.
Often it begins as a casual relationship at work, school or even church. A husband talks with a female co-worker over coffee and shares some struggles he's facing with his wife or kids. She tells of similar problems, and soon the emotions ricochet so rapidly that their hearts ignite and can ultimately become fused together as one. To those who have experienced it, this catalytic "bonding" seems too real to deny.

We're almost a year!!! I'm so excited!!! Cody is my first and last love - opposite sex (except my family and relatives hehehe). GOD IS SO GOOD! I have been in complete suffering in my past. I am telling you, I've received all kinds of abuse. But GOD does not want me to look at my past coz it has long been gone. I am in total celebration of my present and my future!

CELEBRATE GOD'S LOVE TODAY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS!

Cody, thank you for everything. You are so awesome! GOD is pleased with you, my honey sweetie darling sunshine sweetheart...so much more! hahaha!

FATHER, YOU ARE OUR FIRST LOVE! NO ONE ELSE COMES BEFORE YOU! YOU ARE OUR TOP PRIORITY AND OUR DESIRE IS TO GLORIFY YOU ALONE!

Almost 10


My Beautiful GOD and my beautiful blessing from GOD

I am just in awe. Cody and I have known each other for a year now and we'll be celebrating our 10 months as a couple and he is still sweet to me. He still makes me blush every time he tells me sweet remarks. Everyday is a sweet day for us. He believes that distance shouldn't hinder him from being affectionate to me.

When I woke up from my sleep from the 18-hour trip, he sent me messages, as usual.

One of his sweet messages...

"right now, at precisely 3:04 pm, i'm thinking of you and missing you. but then 3:04 pm isn't any different than 4:03 pr 10:34 for that matter. i'm always thinking of you and missing you, my love :) "

Today, he was very sweet again. We talked about a lot of things. In a year, we haven't ran out of things to talk about still. hehehe! Whenever my friends or family asks/talks about him, I blush. Yes I still blush for my Cody. I made a remark earlier because it is very hot here today so I said, "I'm hot" then he suddenly replied, "You're beautiful." I asked him where he got that line because I've read that quote somewhere. It is a famous quote. But since Cody is not into the famous side of the world, he told me that he didn't know that quote. So I was impressed that he would think I'm beautiful instead of hot. And he said that he doesn't even use the word "hot" to describe me. It is almost our 10th monthsary! We're counting again. hehehe!

ALL THE GLORY IN THIS RELATIONSHIP BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

I THANK GOD FOR THE UNFAILING LOVE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP!

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! P.U.S.H.

Hearts' Day


So we celebrate Hearts' Day. Well, I'd rather call it Hearts' Day to be different and also Valentine's Day came from a priest's name and Cupid is used as a symbol which is a pagan god so it's a pagan holiday and so much more stories to it.

It's not even a holiday for me. hehehe! But oh well. Let's celebrate it.

Cody gave me an ecard. hehehe! That's all we can do for now. But then, what's written in it is what's more special to me. Incomparably beautiful.

My one-and-only

(ecard here) <~can't post it hehehe!

They (things) AREN'T the same! Life is so much better with you!

But at least we're blessed in having the opportunity to talk for free! Your voice gives me a special feeling. And with so much communication through text messages, it's such a comfort and pleasure to hear it whenever we get the opportunity. It's the sound of life-long companionship; the sound of LOVE; the sound of a beautiful blessing sent by our beautiful God.

This is our first Valentines Day as a couple! But I don't need a designated day to express my love for you. You have that from me every day 'til eternity'

I'm blessed to have you and only you! I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, my forever Honesty! Be mine Valentine. hehe

Your Forever Cody

I know I couldn't spend all the days of my life with any man but Cody Lee Howe alone! Thank GOD for a beautiful friendship, relationship and soon-to-be marriage! Thank GOD for a sensitive Cody who tries every possible thing to meet my needs as a woman of GOD!

What an awesome way to start a beautiful day! First, GOD then a beautiful blessing from our Beautiful GOD.

A Marriage After GOD's Own Heart


I must say...this is a beautiful book!

Very profound insights. Rich with insights.

I LOVE it!

It just gave me a new mindset about marriage. Well, I already know that marriage is not easy as what my aunt and my mom said. Instead of discouraging me, this book has encouraged me a lot to get married. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! I'm so excited for marriage! hehehe! Still waiting.

As I was reading the book, oh how I feel so deeply blessed that my Cody is completely different from those men used in some of the examples. Cody is an emotional guy. Yes he is. He always considers everything about me. He desires for us to grow in all aspects and never stop the communication. I already feel that our marriage will be truly blessed but also I know we still have a long way to go and it is never going to be easy. Every marriage/relationship has its own flaw. This book has enriched my knowledge about real marriage and how to draw closer to GOD not only as an individual but mostly as a couple. It is worth every time and money you will spend for it. Truly outstanding. Funny coz it took me an hour to buy this book. I was really having a hard time choosing which one to buy that I toured the whole bookstore staring at each book. I then came down to two books then locked me there staring at the two books for almost 30 minutes. This book was more expensive compared to the other option. I have read other marriage books already but this is just so beautiful. It does not only state the problems that may occur in your marriage but also the Key to a successful marriage: GOD.

I am just in awe of this book. GOD truly anointed the author and I am so glad that Mr. Clarke was so willing to be used by GOD. He uses Scriptures. He also shares insights from those Scriptures. As I read this book, sometimes I find myself agreeing, smiling, awww-ing, ahhh-ing and laughing. Funny, I've thought of ideas about prayer that I've shared with Cody then I've suddenly read it the other day in this book. I'm almost halfway. I'm so excited to finish it. I don't even want to finish it because I am so attached with each page. But then, I would want to read it again - with Cody. As what Cody promised me. hehehe!

I am so astounded that I have a partner who is after GOD's own Heart and together we'll build a marriage after GOD's own Heart! A prince, a princess and a KING!

Howe Ancestry

I am so overwhelmed that my dear Cody tried to trace his ancestry and I am truly blessed to know that his line of ancestry is dependent upon GOD.

From generation to generation, we shall pass the legacy of FAITH.

He shared with me how he found out that the Howe motto is:

Utcunque Placuerit Deo (latin) which translates to "Howsoever it may please GOD" or "As it may please GOD"

Also, the maiden name of his Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great grandfather's wife is Patience Day. Of course, it became Mrs. Patience Day Howe.

He did his homework very well. He found out that Edward Howe (VERY GREAT grandfather from the 1500's) was known to be a godly and respectable man. He also found out that most of the men and women in their lineage have names from the Bible. He also found out that he has 5 ministers in their ancestry. Isn't that neat? hehehe! I was in awe. I don't think mine has the same ancestry although I am grateful that I can love, trust and respect a man of GOD (runs in the blood) named Cody Howe.

I believe these are beautiful revelations for us as a couple. GOD is trying to tell Cody, "Patience Day Howe." Well, that's how I would discern it to be. And for the motto, I believe it is telling both of us as a couple to always please GOD. I am so humbled by these revelations from GOD.

It is always good to know the line of ancestry of someone dear to you. Especially someone you will soon marry. If you are very much educated with "generational curse", you must know the ways on how these curses be turned to blessings (Read the Old Testament). It is important to consider the past generations of your future spouse if you are looking for one or have found one. The spiritual realm is a continuous battle. Never be complacent. Some people say, "What's important is what the person is now." I say, if you don't want to trace it, then you are afraid to stop it. A curse will always be a curse unless you turn it into a blessing. Based from personal experience. I would like to encourage you to engage in an "Inner Healing and Deliverance" conference in your place if you ever heard of one.

Anyway, I will not linger on. I will let GOD speak to you. Do not grieve the HOLY SPIRIT. Stop being stubborn. Thank you.

I care. Don't think that I'm too serious but then I am. So please be careful and test every spirit. I love you with the love of our dear LORD!
