God with us
During early BF/GF years, I would always pray for my husband’s career. Na he'll find a job na he's passionate about and that may God bless him with a job na can provide for us in the future if we are to marry.
Years later, God has lead and blessed him with a small business that now provides for our needs. ♥
It's the very first time that I saw Jayson na sooo passionate about something. He’s very hands-on and halos siya talaga lahat. Taga-advice lang ako sa background. Haha! I praise God because He has blessed him with work that he enjoys doing and that helps him bring out his best. I saw a different side of my husband. We've known each other since we were 16! Grabeee. Ngayon we are close to our 30s! Haha! Nasaksihan namin ang kajejehan ng isa't isa. Hahaha! We've seen each other grow in character. From jeje, conforming and vain teenagers to low-key, content and self-assured adults.
This is also the first time na I saw his courageous and madiskarte side (other than our relationship. Haha! Malakas loob sa panliligaw e, sa pagharap sa parents ko at mga aso namin. HAHA) Kasi di ko naman nakikita before yung work attitude niya because never naman kami naging magkatrabaho. And di din naman siya naguuwi ng work. More on stories lang about how our day went sa work but ayun nga, this time I get to see it first hand. So watching him do all these adulting stuff and all his hard work is such a major turn on. *u*
I thank God for guiding his every decision and for blessing his labor. Also for helping him make well-thought business decisions. Yes, andun yung hardwork, but God is the last say eh. Wisdom also comes from Him in every decision that we make. And si Lord pa din ang magpprosper ng works ng hands natin at the end of the day. So while I admire my husband even more today, the glory and honor will always belong to God. One of the reasons why I’m sometimes reluctant to talk about this when we’re with colleagues is because awkward pag sinasabi ng mga tao na ang galing ni Jayson. While Im grateful that people appreciate his hard work, alam mo yun? Alam mo kasi na di naman yun mangyayari if di nagprovide ng wisdom si Lord, if di siya naglagay ng right people around him. Sa totoo lang nakakaamaze na lang pag may mga taong dumadating sa buhay namin esp ni Jayson that would make a great help dun sa business. Numerous times na may mawawalang volume buyer tapos may papalit agad. There are struggles din but Si Lord has always been there. There are so many things na wala talaga sa control namin such as health, market trends, other opportunities, etc. Kaya it’s super uncomfy to take credit tbh and Im only sharing this here sa aking low-key tumblr. Sometimes you want to let the thoughts out. Haha
So while I fell in love with my husband more as he mature into a more responsible man, I've honestly fell in love and adore Christ more. I didn't ask for too much, didn’t expect grand gestures/signs or miracles. I'm very much content with kung ano man ibigay ni Lord as long as He’ll provide for our needs and be with us in this journey. And yet, He's lead us here and has shown His grace, His realness, His presence, His love and providence in our lives. Words aren’t enough to express the joy and rest in knowing na He is near to us and is paying attention to what our prayers are.
More than the provision and worldly possessions, I’m greatly grateful that God has been with us noon pa man that I can’t possibly choose a life without Him. And that is one of my ultimate prayer: that as we age, we’ll grow closer to God and that we’ll be a vessel of blessings for other people
There are sooo many things that Id like to write about - recent realizations, observations and stories of thankfulness. But I have a training and 2 events this month so medyo occupied. Hehe. They’ll have to wait. :P
For now, we sleep!
Goodnight!
