Greeting Cards, Thank You Cards, Birthday Cards, Farewell Cards

















Whew i really feel like leaving. Friends at Church gave me cards for reasons i wrote as title to this blog.

I even joked at a friend telling her that she really wanted me to go because of her handing me a card.

Oh i am teary eyed thinking about all this things.

Have a bunch of cards that i don't know when will i start reading it because i know it will just make me feel so sad.

But i thank everyone who did so. I see love from their eyes. I feel their sadness of me leaving too. I know the reality that i will always have them in my life.

Prayers are the best farewell gift. I'll surely need it. I am thankful for it.

I am loved....thank You Lord, it's all because of You.

Visa Journey to the States and the Thoughts of Leaving





Married for 3 years and not together for the last 2 years celebrating our anniversaries. It's not that easy you know. But God always finds a way.

11 months ago, my husband left the Philippines and went back to his homeland, the US. 2months after he filed the petition for the spousal visa or specifically known as IR1 Visa. And the journey continues from there til i got the visa on hand which was approved August 7, 2013.

I couldnt imagine it will be this early. Its mix emotions of excitement, sadness, thankfulness, fear, and sometimes just wanted to think about it. I got pressured by family and friends too.

My ministry is very important for me. Its my life. I cannot think of days without it. My Everpraisers Music Team will sure be missed. I love my Church where the Lord led me to. My pastor, co-ministers, co-servants, members and the whole congregation are all special to me. My heart is crushed by the thoughts of leaving and some part of it are relieved because finally......finally, i will be able to be with my husband...another ministry.

The visa journey periods of unending goosebumps and anxieties and worries and fear of the medical results and interview with the consul had ended. And there's more journey awaiting me just around the corner.

BUT ONE THING IS SURE....I KNOW, WHEREVER I GO, GOD IS THERE.

There will be a lot of adjustments: on food, climate, people, time, etcetera....but i believe THROUGH JESUS, i will be able to make it....

So help me God.
