Music Monday -

Hubby and I celebrated our 9th year wedding anniversary last Saturday. I thank God for giving us 9 wonderful years together and for blessing us with two adorable children. I am so grateful with the kind of life that we're having and I hope that God will continue to shower us with blessings and happiness.

And for my entry this week on Music Monday, here's the song which reminded me of hubby and I during our early years of marriage. In spite of it all, hubby stood by me and never gave up on me.

Iglesia Ni Cristo Celebrates It's 95th Anniversary

Iglesia ni Cristo 95th Anniversary celebrated Monday July 27, 2009

Founded in 1914, the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) celebrates its 95th Anniversary Monday. As a church, the Iglesia ni Cristo has spanned six continents, establishing over 5,000 Missions in 100 countries, making it truly a global church. In celebrating its Anniversary Monday, a special national working holiday mandated by Republic Act 9645, signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on June 12, 2009, the Iglesia faithful celebrate the phenomenal growth of the church that has surpassed all other denominations and testifies to the zeal of its leaders in pursuing its mission.

The Iglesia’s leaders, from its first Executive Minister Felix Y. Manalo to current Executive Minister Eraño G. Manalo, have steered the church in its evangelization mission. The Iglesia is aware that it is a Christian religious society, not a political organization, but it has not turned blind eye to pressing social concerns that affect the life of its members. The church remains socially responsive, caring for its members and society at large and addressing social issues such as poverty and peace and order. It educates its members to remain disciplined and responsible citizens, abiding by the laws of God and men.

A distinction of the Iglesia is the strength of its leadership, from its first Executive Minister, Felix Y. Manalo, whom the faithful recognized as God’s messenger, to the incumbent Executive Minister, Brother Eraño G. Manalo. Brother Eraño has remained faithful to the Biblical principles and administrative system laid down by his predecessor, prudently avoiding the limelight that many religious leaders have succumbed to.

Monday, in celebration of its 95th Anniversary, the Iglesia ni Cristo will assemble its leaders and memebers in humble thanksgiving for the Lord for his goodness and blessings.

We congratulate the Iglesia ni Cristo, headed by Executive Minister Eraño G. Manalo, Officers and Members, on the occasion of its 95th anniversary and wish them success in all their endeavors.

To all my fellow brethren around the world, Happy 95th Anniversary!!!

Our 8th Wedding Anniversary

Today hubby and I are celebrating our 8th year wedding anniversary. Time really flies fast.... I can't believe that we are already 8 years married.

I am just so grateful that I have come to the right decision and accept hubby's proposal to get married.

After all these years I am just so thankful to God for giving me happiness and contentment through the presence of my husband. No words can express how truly happy I am with what is going on in my life right now. There may be no such thing as perfect but my life, my family is I can say close enough to be perfect. Hubby and I may still have our differences and flaws but living with him for the past 8 years made me learn to live with him without expecting too much.

I remembered an old song from Shaniah Twain.... Hubby and I love this song. We can relate to lyrics of this song.... I searched it and found this video...



and now it feels good to hear it again.... memories kept on flashing back.... We've had our share of obstacles along the way but thank God that we held on.... We are still together.

I love you honey and thank you for sharing your life with me. Thanks for being a good daddy to my children. I may not be a very good wife to you but always remember that I am trying so hard to to be the best that I can be for you and our children.

I will forever be in love with you no matter what!
