*But think again..
Smooth roads never
make good drivers.
Smooth seas never
make good sailors.
Clear skies never
make good pilots.
A problem free life never
makes a strong person.
Many of my friends here have known my real life stories. Each of my blessings and struggles in life has been written here in my site. All of you have been a witness of my ups and downs in life.
Of all the pains that I have been through sometimes I have said that life was so unfair. I have not harmed any people in my life but why it seems like the whole world has hated me. I have always questioned our Lord Why? BUT now I realized that God allowed these situations to happen in my life to make me strong inside.
If I was not left alone. I won’t learn to love and value myself more.
If I was not left alone with my kids and if I didn't file an annulment because of domestic violence
I won’t be this strong in fighting for our rights and loving them
with the love that they should deserve.
If I didn’t let go. I should have lost the opportunity of loving someone
Who is worth more of my love.
If I have not experienced hurt and betrayal..I won’t learn to trust more.
If I didn’t give myself a chance to love. I wouldn’t realize that I was also
Worth of being loved in return.
If I didn’t hold on to the love that I have now. I won't discover True love and I won’t be so happy
With the man that deserves all my love.
Below are the links of my previous post ; not just to know me better but to be a living testimony to all of you that all of us go through our own pains but all of it will surely pass. God is good because of all the struggles in my past life. God has now blessed me with people and things more than what I have prayed for. I have still unanswered prayers in my life but I believe all will come on its proper time.
My life is a living proof. All of the situations in our lives are just a part of our journey. Life can be so unfair at times and sometimes we have to learn it the hard way but in the end we will be smiling. Because looking back we have just thought that it was done for a purpose. It is a part of what we call Life.

Trials are not the reason to give up but a challenge to improve ourselves.
Difficulties are not excuses to back out but an Inspiration To Move Forward.
Something, somewhere, that I long to find
I am learning, slowly, one day at a time
That if I loose and fail, I'll be fine
I'm moving on
And I'm gonna get stronger now
And nothing will break me down
I will not give in to doubt
Those days are gone
I can be who I wanna be
And start living my life for me
I believe it finally
I'm moving on
This is wonderful, reminiscing all about life before and after all what happen, especially all the blessings that are never-ending from God. You are truly blessed sis, maybe one person did hurt you but in return we are millions here who loves you and appreciate who really you are..Especially the one I knew who made you feel the truest love and the real meaning of love.. I am proud of you sis, you are one of a kind.:)
ReplyDeleteKeep holding on sis.. :) God bless you always..:)

ReplyDeleteAccepting and learning from our past always make us stronger inside. It gives us the ability to handle different situations with a posi+ive character. It takes us to more beautiful tomorrows with the wonderful things we truly deserve :) ♥♥♥
@Sagitarrian-Yes I am truly blessed sis..God has always been there and He have seen all what I been through..I know He did allow it to happen to teach me a lesson and to be strong..to prepare me for my next relationship..now God has rewarded me..one of them is Him giving my kids and quiet angel to me..when He gave me quiet angel..a "gift"..it was then I believed that God is still there and through quiet angel I have experienced God's love to me and my kids..I am so blessed now sis..my heart can burst because of happiness..thank you so much sis for always being there ;) *hugs*
ReplyDelete@Beany- you have said it right..accepting and learning from our past always creates a positive character..it leads us to beautiful tomorrows most specially with someone who deserves to be loved..being with someone whom you love and loves you back.I am so blessed and sometimes it gives me this feeling that I don't deserve quiet angel's love for me but that's how God showed me..I am now rewarded because God gave me him ;) ♥♥♥ too *blink blink*
ReplyDeletehey sie,

Im passing through hard times, yesterday, jus randomly went outside at 3am or so and walked on the road with my eyes full of tears , my eyes hurt at the end lol, but i'll be fine , with the help of God. There are worse situations and hope things go better with others too. =] I like that "You Rock" Cat loL!... cute =3

I explained to her what had happened and the good news IS that I'm now following both of you!! :D

ReplyDeleteHi Sie! You know, what amazes me is very time you write it's always full of inspirations and what you say is worth pondering. It's really part of life which is also the trial for us whether we could bear it or not. If we have the patience, at the end of the day everything will turn out fine. As I used to say, you're a strong lady and would surely overcome the obstacles.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that I'm able to read this wonderful post. :)

You have become an inspiration of strength for me, Sie. Thinking about all you've been through, I am given a renewed sense of hope that things do get better for those who wait...patiently. You are facing a new life ahead... You are ready to put the past behind you... Be strong. Look forward to a new life with the people who love you, and whom you love the most.
ReplyDeleteHi Sie, i know you as a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart... that you dont go round hurting people, makes me believe that your conscience is clear.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to carry the deadly sins of harming other people, so whatever turmoil you go through- you can still remain strong, as long as you keep on doing good.
Take good care of your health
