Today, my leave for tomorrow got approved. I have an available sub and Teacher Leia is more than ready to lead the class. Yey! Just wish it could be a vacation leave but NO. Need to finish urgent matters for my MA. Yet, Thank you, Lord, for the 'extra' time which I badly need to do what I have to do.

Today, Mommy picked me up from work an hour late. But thank God for the ride home. I can't imagine commuting all the way to Antipolo everyday. I did it twice in my lifetime and I died. Even if I have a lot of things to do these days and prefer to go home right after work, to be able to work on those things, I've been resisting the urge to complain and been conditioning myself to just make do with the messed up schedule. If you know me, a minute late on my watch will leave me cranky and pissed. But lately, I'm slowly learning to accept that my watch is not the only watch that matters. I am learning to being patient, the intricate art of waiting, which I admit is not on my best traits list. God has been teaching me to WAIT in more ways that I can imagine, in big and small matters in life.
Yes, He's been telling me to wait with intense faith that whatever I ask for shall be given to me in His appointed time. I believe that my present situation is but a momentary stopover. Good things are yet to come. Greater things are yet to come. In due time, I will reap the fruits of what I've been sowing for the past years, especially in that area of my work. Though it's been tough planting the 'seeds,' that I sometimes end up questioning a lot of things in the process, I believe, I know.... good things come to those who wait. All the hard work and sacrifice I'm putting into this will not go to waste. Abundance in every good work... that is His promise.
And by the way, after the long wait for my ride, Mommy treated me to Sizzling Pepper Steak in Eastwood. Yum! See, instant miracle from up above.

After our late lunch in Eastwood, we headed to Robinson's Metro East cos Mommy needed to buy stuff from the supermarket. I took a detour at Booksale, one of the happiest places on earth (weeee! hehe.), browsed through the books on my favorite children's books rack, hopeful, that I'd score a classic. Instead of getting something for my collection, I got 2 "Amelia's Notebook" books for Kitkat, which made me even happier. She's my book buddy here at home, the only one in the family who likes to read besides me. I know they're not much and I am not really the gift-giving type of person, but she is (that's her love language - gifts). I hope I made her day somehow... "for the Lord loves a cheerful giver." Instant reward for the 90 that she got in her Math exam! Good job, Kittypurts!
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labor and not to ask for reward,
save that of knowing that I do your will.
Bless me more so I could bless other people more. Amen!
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work. - 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
Ciao!
