Entry#18: when God continued our love story

I will never get tired of telling everyone how God's grace became the turning point of our relationship. It was not us who worked things out for the better...It was and always will be God. Everything we are and everything we are enjoying right now is all because of God's grace. With that said, I am confident in the hope that we both have in Him...so there is no point for us (especially me) to get stressed out with our wedding preparations. The important thing is that we have prepared spiritually, mentally and emotionally for the marriage more than the wedding. If God could show so much love and grace in our lives individually, what more when we fulfill God's plan for us corporately...as a divinely instituted body...ready for God's work!

Honestly, the source of my stress comes from my desire to make sure everything runs smoothly and perfectly...fit for my future queen...but then, I realized that you are God's princess even before I entered the picture...and whatever He deems to be right for you and me, I have to learn to accept...after all, His standards are waaaaaaaaaay better than mine.

Three months and counting...I don't know what will happen after the 28th of October...but one thing I am very very sure of...it will be the continuation of His love and grace story for us!

Amazing grace...it will always sound so sweet!

I love you Pag!

Entry #17: Monotonous vs. Consistent

It's been a while since I've posted a keso chronicle...some people were already asking me if I've forgotten all about it...Honestly, I didn't...It was just hard to express something to you that wasn't new anymore...I was avoiding a monotonous relationship where I tend to repeat the same promises and vows over and over again. I was afraid that I might get boring and uninteresting to you. I felt like I was losing the kilig factor...until I realized that our lives are starting to shift into a different mode. A mode that demanded repetition and routines...a life that will need consistency in all aspects. A life that is never really dependent on KILIG moments, but on absolute truth...a life that will officially start on the 28th of October.

True love is never dictated by emotions, but by truths that we accept everyday. I love you because I know for a fact that God made me to love you and connect with you in all aspects...physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually...God has been preparing us even in eternity past. Truth will never fade away...therefore, true love will never expire...It is the perception of that love that is important. That is where consistency becomes very important. The everyday reminder of that love is needed....unconditional love that can overcome any bitterness and pettiness.

Don't confuse monotony with consistency...a monotonous relationship has no purpose, no meaning, no goals...a consistent relationship is driven by a bigger purpose...in our case, it's more than just "NOT being Single" It's the opportunity to experience the best kind of love God has planned out for us. It's living a life that is set apart from the world...it is partnering with someone who shares the same ideals and set of standards that I have...it's offering our lives for God's ministry...wherever and whenever.

I may not be as sweet and cheezy as before...but one thing I am willing to assure you, I will always try my very best to be consistent...

I love you Pag!

Entry #16: unexpectedly pleasant

Sour green mango ice cream topped with sweet and salty bagoong! A delictable pair prepared in an unusual manner...that's the reason you enjoyed every part of it! 

This reminded me of us in the begining of our relationship. We were jiving unusually well despite having the same weaknesses in personality. It only proves that God has already matched us up in eternity past for each other.people might disagree with us, but we found a middle ground...JESUS!

We might not be the perfect couple.
.but we did turn out unexpectedly alright!

Loveyou
