A New Beginning of a Beautiful LOVE

...And I thought it was the end.

If you are one of my faithful readers of my other blog about GOD, you already know what happened to my dad. Cody is also in a difficult time right now because his beloved aunt has liver cancer. Both of us are sad about the circumstances. To top it off, we had another complication and ALMOST broke up last night.

I have been in a very down stage this week. I admit that I got very prideful and tried to take matters into my own hands. But I'm so glad that GOD is always faithful to me. HE is full of neverending grace.

Everything was so heavy in my chest last night when I fell asleep crying in my bed. When I woke up, the heaviness was obvious. I got used to waking up forgetting everything that happened the night before but this morning was different. So I surrendered everything to GOD. Something strong was tugging in my heart. I knew I was not at peace. I chose to listen to what GOD has to say and just obey. I sat in the living room quietly for a few minutes. I was thinking of Cody. Suddenly, I thought of the word "LOVE." Then I thought of my favorite verses that I forgot to say aloud to myself this week. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

I went straight to my computer and checked my email if I have new email devotionals. I did and this caught my attention "Crosswalk Daily Update: How to Hear from God When You're in a Crisis -- May 21, 2009" so I clicked it.

You could read the full article here...

How to Hear from God When You're in a Crisis

This email devotional is exactly what I needed. I believe that the Holy Spirit was the One who convicted me and whispered the word "LOVE." I have learned a lot about signs when I was transformed and it became my pet peeve. Another article I've read back then introduced these verses to me...

Matthew 16:1-4
The Demand for a Sign
1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

2He replied, "When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' 3and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away.

Today is a new beginning. I love Cody and I have never loved like this before. I respect him and he deserves it. One revelation I received the other night is when I was watching a tv series and the lead man said, "Let's set our differences aside and let's work together."

LOVE and continuous communication are beautiful keys in a relationship.

Today is a new beginning of a beautiful love. I must say that this is just the beginning, never the end. Monday next week is another celebration - our 13th monthsary...YAY!!!

I am very grateful that whatever happens, Cody is always faithful to me. That I am his one-and-only. In spite of our complications, he never tries to confide to other women or run to vices. I am very thankful. ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!!

THANK GOD! PRAISE GOD!

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!

When you feel GOD's love, OVERFLOW!

A Different Kind of Creativity

And I thought I was creative enough...wait til you see Cody's stuff! hehehe!

On our latest anniversary, Cody and I had a complication which made him forget to give his surprise for me. So last night, out of nowhere, I realized that he never gave me anything. It made me sad. I always liked his creativity referencing to our past monthsaries (monthly celebration of being officially together as a couple). So I gave him an ecard and confronted him that I was quite sad. When he woke up, he saw my ecard. Suddenly, he remembered his special gift for me.

I have my own weird creativity. hehehe! He likes it. He has his own creativity. I like it! hehehe! We both admire each other's work but we don't admire our own works. Yeah we're a weird couple. I love it though!

I've expressed in this blog my creativity. I'll share what he did for me on our anniversary. Though it wasn't big as you would think, it's the best gift I've ever received on my very first anniversary with a real man.

So he sends me one email at a time. Six emails all in all. Though, I won't share everything since Cody is very strict with photos when it comes to the internet. Just for security purposes. As I open every email, there's a photo and message in it.

1st email
first you gotta go to your local observatory. in this case, it's in Baguio...


2nd email
then go ahead and start viewing.....


3rd email
see if you can view all the way over to Montana (yep... look AROUND the planet. haha)

you'll come across Granite Peak, about 12,000 feet above sea level. but i think something (or someone) is up there...


4th email
it looks like there IS somebody up there! but what is he holding? you'll have to go in for a closer look...


5th email
you moved in a little closer but it's still hard to tell. you can just barely make it out. zoom in a bit more and i'm sure you'll be able to see exactly what he's holding...

6th email
it's your loving partner and companion... your Cody! he couldn't make it to the Philippines to celebrate so he climbed the highest peak in MT to shout it out!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, my love!

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, MY FOREVER (my name)!

Yep it was creative, alright! For the first time in my life, I felt all emotions at the same time. I was laughing and blushing at the same time. I do not desire for material things but having a man like Cody is such a beautiful gift!

I couldn't post 2 of the photos so I'll just share what's written on the cardboard. hehehe!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
i want you forever 'til eternity
I DESIRE YOU
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
YOU ARE MINE
my beautiful blessing
I LOVE YOU
i am yours
MY FOREVER (my name)

One year of............happiness
One year of............companionship
One year of............devotion
One year of............commitment
One year of............LOVE
One year................and forever 'til eternity

Here is his creativity!

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

P.U.S.H.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!!

When you feel GOD's love, OVERFLOW!
