I'm a very simple woman whose only dream in life is happiness and peace. To have a family of my own -- happy and loving, supporting each other and most of all God-fearing. Just like the family I have since birth.
I've been hurt before, I could not explain in words how upsetting it is, I felt it was the end of the world, but thank God I already recovered. It's a part of life I would not want to happen again. It is true that if you love someone with all your heart and loyalty; and this someone became part of your dreams and your life and when all your plans and expectations were not met, ouch! It's like the world tumbledown on you. Since then, I became aloof with every man I met; I became so cautious to the end that I rejected them, even though they said that guy had all the good traits every woman wants. But what will I do? I don't know how to teach my heart!
Truly, I say, it's very hard to move on but because of the people around me who truly love me, and me trusting the Lord believing that He wants the best for me, I moved on. At that time, I already accepted that I will spend the rest of my life alone with all the love from my parents, brothers and sister. But though I accepted it and always praying with this word... "God, please let my heart beat only to the man You have prepared for me"... I still kept on dreaming of a man every night whom I could not see the face, only his arms and his shirts. Until one day... Wow! God is so good; He gave me the man whom I will spend the rest of my life with. Though he is not perfect, he is the man who captured my heart. Now, I'm happily married and still waiting to complete my very own family; I still reminisce all the happy and sad things that happened to my life. Those happy things give me inspirations and those sad things give me the lessons and thus be a better person.
I made this page to at least give inspiration and hope to every woman or everyone. Don't ever give up, don't loose hope. God has a great plan for every one of us. Though you may not see this great plan today... you can see it in His time.
Love and prayer,
Janet
A man found a cocoon of butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole.
Then it seemed to stop making no progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swolen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God's way of forcing the fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for wisdom...
And God gave me problems to solve.
I asked for prosperity...
And God gave me brain and brown to work.
I asked for courage...
And God gave me danger to overcome.
I asked for love...
And God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for favors...
And God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted...
I received everthing I need!
