I have read this book nearly 30 times! And have practically given away a few copies when I was able.
Fascinating Womanhood encourages practical applications and are very effective! Through times and generations, it has never ceased to present and prove the validity of where it is based from, the Bible! The countless lives it has changed will be the proof of the impact of the teachings shared by Andelin. Timeless indeed!

Our two year, seven months cutie pie singing. . .
“Read your Bible, pray everyday, pray everyday, pray everyday. Read your Bible, pray everyday. And you grow, grow, grow.”
What better reminder this is to start the year. We did our first family devotion for the year last night. And even as we saw Jed getting restless as minutes passed, he still tried very hard to stay put to listen and when his papa led the prayer, he would babble with random words “salamat po, et al,” trying to participate in the family prayer in his own way.
Our heart is for our family to grow spiritually (even as the song suggests) as we choose these spiritual disciplines and instill in our son the love of God and putting Him first.
You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Tomorrow, Jeff will officiate a wedding yet again. Weddings are just the finest events on earth if you ask me. Going back to the time God presented Eve to Adam, how lovely could it have been? That’s the scene that repeats itself in my head even as I witness weddings that I have planned and coordinated, some of which I was just one of the many guests. No matter how many details are entailed for the organizers, weddings never cease to make me giddy all over again. Need I say more? I love weddings! 
That’s why I truly take pride in the weddings that I deliver and help coordinate, because I only give my best, no less. Read the rest of this entry »

In the spirit of Christmas, I’m jumping on this taggin’ train. The idea is to make a list of all your godchildren. I will try my very best to recall each and every one. I will have to dig in really deep (blame the anaesthesia!) and might probably just have to get back to edit this list when a name gets back to me. I’m jotting down my own godchildrens’ names, not counting the ones I acquired through Jeff. Read the rest of this entry »

Sigh! It has been a crazy 4 month course for me, to say the least! And I am so relieved to finally realize, that in a week’s time, I’m all done with it! Tonight I will have my micro-teaching presentation. The last major requirement that I would have to present. I am finally done with 4 major papers for just one subject and all the take home final tests from two other subjects. Tuesday next week will be my last finals test in Educational Psychology. Bummer! But that would be so minor compared to all the other stuff I had to go through. I have documented every single paper I have done and will post it after submission. Read the rest of this entry »
