Spanks and Slaps of Life

Last night was my favorite part of the year. I was THIS close to @dlwlrma!! ✨ THIS is a new core memory. THIS is worth missing out on all the December parties that I could have been a part of. THIS is my year-ender. 💙💜 Thank you Lord for this! #IULovePoem #IULovePoemInMNL #IULovePoemInManila #WelcomeToManilaIU #ComeBackToManilaIU #crappycameradontcare (at Smart Araneta Coliseum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CxZ2FHMlN/?igshid=12l8jd7ag6xjk

SURREAL!!! ✨ Look, I gained new friends! My introvert side was nowhere to be found — probably went on a vacation this weekend. @dlwlrma, “Haaaa-I’ll be there 🎶” on December 13. 💜 #IULovePoeminMNL #IUinManila #MaAenas #TeamMegamall #TeamMega (at SM Megamall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-NHNmnQhv/?igshid=18sjlhjwb5s2o

Even as the weeping prophet Jeremiah was able to write about how “the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;” (Lamentations 3:22-23a) during a time of grief and depression, so shall I also declare “Great is your faithfulness” my God and King!

“And why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow: they do not work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that not even King Solomon with all his wealth had clothes as beautiful as one of these flowers. It is God who clothes the wild grass—grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burned up in the oven. Won't he be all the more sure to clothe you? What little faith you have!” Matthew‬ ‭6:28-30‬ (at Houli Flower Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBZ72IHjYH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v5rb3h6zmbtt

Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane.

“For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.” • Isaiah 55:12 (at Kanip-aw Pines View Lodge)

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. • Psalm 113:3 (at Baguio City)

Here’s to new things, new mornings, new seasons, and new mercies. . . . “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬ ‭ESV‬‬ (at Halsema Half Tunnel)
