I started to love Ilocos!
The first time we went there was summer - May. We had lots of activities when we went there. Thanks a lot to ATE BING!

This woman who happened to be our “tour guide” got married on the 352nd day of this year. Mrs. Rubigilda Cabalar-Baluscang.

I really wanted to sing in a wedding. When I haven’t known Christ during my high school year, I always go to the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral (Pasig). Right after my class, I always go there to see if there’s a wedding ceremony going on. If there is, I would sit at one corner and watch the whole ceremony. I told myself, “I want to get married in this place, walking down the long aisle wearing my white dress".

But that whole dream has changed. Now, I don’t want it that way.
I want to get married in a place where my future husband and I, together with our loved ones can have an intimate moment together.
I believe wedding isn’t about how expensive it would turn out.
It is a moment that my husband to be and I will make a commitment with the Lord that we'll be one flesh. That we will live a Godly marriage life, that we will serve Him, that when we have kids, we will raise them together believing who their God, who Jesus Christ is.

As I was watching Ate Bing walking down the aisle of BBC, I felt emotional. Tears were on my eyes.

Then, I realized that in my 2 years of following Christ, Day 352 was the first day I attended a Christian wedding. I just appreciate every detail of that day, thanking the Lord that He gave me my 352nd day wonderful and very significant!

Not to mention the 8-9 hours of travel, where I could only grab a rest during the travel; the people whom I had been with. From the BBC Family and some new friends I met there. I really like meeting new people, learning new things from them, learning some dialects which are unfamiliar to me and appreciating their way of living in Ilocos.

Thank You Jesus for such wonderful experience!

Fast Delivery!

    photo at debragrayelliott.blogspot.com HATE LATE? This slogan of an ad must be familiar to you. You might not be patient to wait for something to fill in your stomach. How about in the concept of PRAYING? Do you pray and always wanting to be answered immediately? or you still pray even if there's no answer yet? They say when you pray, God will only respond in 3 ways: YES, NO, and WAIT. HATE LATE when it comes to prayer? God has never been late in answering our prayers. He wants us to WAIT for He will answer in His own terms, in His beautiful and perfect time. What are you thankful for? "I thank God for His perfect delivery in my prayer!" Let me share you my story... C ouple of weeks ago, I was sending resume to different media companies. I am still employed up to this time, but I still dream that one day, I could work in a media company. As you know, I am an English teacher for Korean students. I am capable of teaching but I am not a licensed tea
