The Noble Wife.

Had my daily devotion this morning and my topical bible brought me to this particular passage about the noble wife. The passage is in Proverbs 31:10-31.

While my early stage of marriage is still pretty much working for me, some words of wisdom from the bible could help me start founded properly on what the bible says.

Reading the passage as it enumerates descriptively how a noble wife should be scared me since most of it entails a lot of effort. At least for a working wife like me. However, as I claim God's promises in my life, juggling personal and career life can be all so worth it by the grace of God.

Thus, I'm sharing you what I've picked up.

1. A noble wife is God-fearing.
-Therefore, she is trustworthy at all times. "Who you are when no one is looking" will always reflect who God is in your life.

2. A noble wife enjoys her work.
- It is always better to quote:
"She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
and brings back exotic surprises.
She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it,
then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work,
is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,
diligent in homemaking."

3. A noble wife doesn't worry. Is cheerful. Is full of faith.
-When I was single, I worry about almost everything. Now that I am in a charge of taking care of another life, or maybe more lives in the future (depending on how many children I'll have), I can expect worrisome days. The passage emphasized a cheerful character of a wife, always ready to face the day. Worry came from fear and the antidote of fear is faith. Simple logic I've learned by attending church when I was college. So I may expect worrisome days, but a life full of faith, leaps and overcomes with excitement.

More to say, but I'll perhaps just tell you to start enjoying your day! Cheers!

The Daily LLLAT.

I started to commit myself in logging my daily "Little Learnings At A Time”.

Here’s a list of today's LLAAT.

- Learn to appreciate the little things in life that makes you happy, they come in handy.

- Convert those things that disappoints/worries you into prayers.

- Seek for opportunities in the midst of chaos/uncertainty.

- Wear a smile and be cheerful at all times.

- Beauty is never measured by physical appearance.

FlashForward

Let's flash forward. :)

Coined the title from the series I am watching now "FlashForward" and yes I finished the whole series in one sitting. Did not sleep the whole night after my late shift last night and spent the whole day today watching it since we did not push through with our planned road trip.

I have a lot of updating to do. And since I decided to keep this site to remember all my so called "markers" in life, I will definitely need to update the missing dates/month.

From the last work related update, here's more:

1. I got engaged! - December 09, 2011.
We went to Hong Kong for a day. He took me in all the romantic places there and then cracked the question to me at H Restaurant in IFC Tower. We headed to Manila in the evening. It was like that in the movies. <3

2. I got married! - October 27, 2012.
We got married after 10 months. :) Our wedding was very intimate. We invited close friends and relatives in a very private farm that we rented for the whole day. It was so peaceful, for me the best day of my life. It was worth all stress we've been through planning and making it happen. It was just exactly as what I prayed for - simple yet elegant and glorious.

3. I got promoted! - October 29, 2012 and July 1, 2013
After a year of officially signing with the company I am currently working for, I got promoted as a Service Leader. It was not just a promotion, it was another level of learning, maturity and friendship with my beloved colleagues whom I embraced as my family. 

(edit: got promoted again to be the Assistant Manager last July)

Many things I am thankful for. I will always believe that the God I serve and love is capable of doing things more than I can ever ask or imagine.

I always hear from church that "we are destined for greatness". And I just know that no matter how I fight it/or may have forgotten it, God will and can always be in control to remind, guide and maneuver our course to the destiny that He has planned for us. All we have to do is SURRENDER.
