Christmas won't be the same without YOU

I wonder how I have cope up with this season without  my Hubby. It has been 4 years, consecutively, that we are not spending this season together. I wonder how both of us deal with the separation anxiety..hmmmm

My heart beats fast and my mind has a lot of things to shared to every time I ponder on this area in our life together. The hole of being apart is not something to be proud of --> it is something to ponder and discern the life that we have. It brings tears knowing how we tried to fill in this 'hole' in us. I cannot fathom 'HOW'.. But I believe, it is by God's grace that we endure being apart.. It is by God's grace that the 'Hole' becomes 'Whole'.. It is by God's grace that love gives and receives all to endure.

I personally don't want to keep on asking all the 'Why's'.(makahilak lang ta!!). Because I will always keep on believing that somewhere, somehow we are going to live our life together without the 'Hole' of being apart.

This season, I believe, is a time to give gratitude and realize that God is always be the reason why we live,why we breath, why we endure, why we are love.

It does not matter anyhow if hubby is here or not. I will just have to look forward of HIM being with me spending quality moments together. --> Soon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Engagement: long or short it does not matter!

 Why is it too soon? Why is it too long?

I agree, of course, long or short engagement does not matter as long as the relationship is bounded by Love. >  A Firm-Godly Decision ! And it is taking responsibility to love the other!


If both are mature enough in their decision and has been discerning it for many years. I believe, it is God's divine providence that both of you are 'collided' in this universe. ;). You may not notice it! May be there are factors that has been blocking the 'should be-much awaited' union of two unique - beautiful persons. God is already visibly letting you see, in front of you this 'perfect person' - who is God's best gift for you.


Anyhow, below are some list of the pros and cons of long or short engagement. These will somehow may give you an idea! 

Pros for Short Engagement

• Less time to be stressed out about planning
• Not spending a lot of time worrying about everything, so you get over with quickly
• No time to regret decisions or think twice about style

Cons for a Short Engagement

• You have to decide quickly 
• You get stressed about the quick planning
• You lose your ability to get your first choice of things - it's ok! ;)

Pros for a Long Engagement

• More time to plan the perfect wedding, and at prices you can afford
• You can pick the date of your choice, venue of choice, get the band you want, and everything else
• You can give guests ample time to prepare. - early notice is better so they can include in their budget -  the gifts.;) 

Cons for a Long Engagement

• More time to stress about the details and feel pressure
• More time for nerves to kick in
• More time to think if the decision is alright??? (which might be under pros?)

You may have other list.. bottom line is.. no turning back.. It's for life! It's forever! ;)
