Testimony of Faith: Feeling Blessed at Thirty

God's redirection is a blessing. Trust the process.

Highly-favored to celebrate my 30th post-birthday in JAPAN. Thank you father! Glory & praises. 

At Odaiba Tokyo, Japan

Promised myself that I'll celebrate my 30th birthday in a kiddie-party way at Jollibee (coz it plays big role to my childhood, it's my lil'sis & I's favorite fast food and yes prolly the best way to reminisce childhood sweet memories), but the heavenly father never fail to surprise me. He gave a major twist and brought me to another "J" place to celebrate my post birthday (my post birthday celebration & my fiancé's birthday celebration since we are both January babies, our double birthday celebration, our 3rd time celebrating our birth month out of the country) – to the land of the rising sun, Japan.

Then I remembered, before, I was hoping to go to Star City in Manila but he took me to Universal Studios–Singapore (not just once, but twice) and Tokyo–Disneyland (the least that I expect as applying VISA to Japan is quite difficult, and we did it without invitation or so). I was hoping to visit The Grand Canal in Taguig but he took me (first, since I went both) to The Grand Canal in Macau. I was hoping to go to Manila to try train, but he took me to Singapore for my first ever train ride.

Bonus! I said YES to marry my long-time partner in front of Mt. Fuji (which I never expected in my entire life).

This is not to brag but to share his greatness. Indeed! His plans are always the best.

My life is not perfect, but I am greatly humbled that I have big God who can turn impossible things to possible. 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 

Lastly, let me share my favorite bible verses:

• Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself also in the LORD and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

• Mark 11:24 “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

• Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

• Isaiah 60:22 says, " When the time is right I, The Lord, will make it happen." 

 

God bless us all! xoxo ♥
