I
reviewed my 2013 Faith Goals and I’d say that I have mostly achieved my bucket
list. There were some few lapses but I guess there is always a room for
improvement.
On
being a wife – I’d like to believe that it is still a work in progress. It was
a year of adjustment for me and my husband. It’s not always mushy-sweetie all
the time. There were some ugly squabbles and shouting match in between but the
good thing is that my husband always tried his best to settle an argument
before we sleep through the night.
As
a housewife, there are still things that are all new to me. I hate cooking
before but 2013 was a year for trial and error in the cooking department. I was
able to cook meals for my husband and he told me I am good in mixing flavors. However, I still need to improve in slicing
and in making the kitchen spic and span among others.
But 2013 was also the year that made
our marriage stronger than ever. I miscarriage last March 2013 and it was a
very heartbreaking experience for both of us. But with God’s love and mercy, we
were able to move forward with a happy heart. We had more time with each other
and we had a fun summer outing in the pristine beaches of Surigao. Last November, we went to US and had seen the
world in another perspective. It was a good experience for us travelling
together.
On
my Graduate Studies—Again, it’s a work in progress! It’s kind of slow but I am
getting there. I had to limit my subjects 2nd sem of last year
since that was also the time when I had a difficult pregnancy which ended around 10
weeks. I am done with all the course
subjects and will take the comprehensive exam this May or after baby is out by
July. Before, I set myself to finish it by the time I turn 30 but things change
when I got married. I am now adjusting it to 32 or 33 instead. How time rolls by but it’s perfectly alright.
It’s all about priorities and my top most priority is my husband and our
marriage. 
On
my family— 2013 was a good year for all of us. My sister gave birth and my
brother was ordained as a priest too. My other brother has a job and everything
seems to be running smoothly in our household. Probably the sad moment was when
our family dog named Misty passed away. Last December, we all touched base in
our home sweet home and we are complete for the first time since 2010. 
On
my spiritual growth- I’d say I am closer to God and I have established a strong
relationship with Him. It is in HIM that I can completely open myself without
barriers or judgment… I can tell Him my fears, of what’s bothering me and what
is inside my heart. I also make it a point to pray the rosary every day
although I missed a lot of times. That is something I need to work on.
So,
2013 was indeed a great year for me. I
am looking forward for 2014 with a cheerful heart.
For
2014, my theme would be TIME and LOVE. When
you love, you have to give time… to God, to your family, husband, friends, children, career
among others.
As
for me, I will be juggling a lot of things all at the same time this year; the
birth of our baby love, my husband, my studies, friends and another big STEP or
PLAN that my husband and I are really praying for. Ergo, I need to balance my
TIME.
LOVE---
love, because when I love –everything else will follow!
Have
a radiant 2014 to us all!
