Count your Blessings :)

With my adviser after my defense. Hurray!

With my happy family :D wacky shot!

My motto in life is : "Do your best, God will take care of the rest."

I learned the importance of prayers especially when we pray about our plans. It is truly important that God acknowledge about it and through His loving grace, He will turn these plans into blessings.

I hope and prayed for blessings and believe with all my heart that God listened and already gave it to me: 

happy and loving family, a man who truly loves me, a job that can influence others (teaching), a graduate studies (I am now on the completion of my Ms degree), healthy life and a lot more blessings He provided. 

Another blessing came today: an scholarship for a month-long training. I have been excited to join the training especially very much happy for the field trips (yes, for free!) but thinking I will be away from home on my birthday made me sad again. Anyway, it is a very good opportunity for me to explore food and Nutrition Security and I am very grateful.

Another blessing!

I am really thankful in every way possible for all these blessings coming my way. I cannot ask for more. I am very much contented and I really enjoyed everything that I have right now. Yes, challenges come but they only make me stronger and left me with so much lesson to learn. For example, right now I am very tight with my budget but yes, I am learning to spend on the most important things and practice good financial management that I can also follow once I am earning my own money again. What is more important are the blessings that keep on coming and counting them only replicates the happiness they bring. Thank you dear Lord. I am done with my MS thesis defense, now I need to focus and keep doing the important things.

I will be posting my progress and activities regarding this training. I want to share my experience and discoveries here in my blog. Life is a continuous process of learning and such given opportunity to learn is rare. I will do my best and I really do appreciate this birthday treat from God.
