"God is placing great opportunities in your life...pause and appreciate them. As you choose to enjoy the journey, your life will be much more rewarding and fulfilling."

1. I am so thankful I have prioritized preparing this morning what I need to have tomorrow morning, even the clothes I'll wear. This allowed me to be confident about this and allowed me to do other things tonight. It's really best to prioritize and yes, delay gratification. I prepared also early tonight what we need tomorrow, daughter's uniform and my gym bag.

2. My daughter researched for her Science assignment and I helped her organize it.

3. My daughter shared me how her day went to school. Again, I appreciate how she tells me her thoughts and feelings.

4. I dropped by the church again this afternoon even if I already had my daily devotional this morning. I wanted to because frustration and fear are getting into me again and I don't want that. I needed to ask strength and hope again from God. I needed to have some quiet time again. I was confident that I will feel better after I prayed. I did. In fact when I was thinking of tomorrow, I told myself to just do it. Just have fun doing it. God is with me. I have to have complete trust in Him, that He is with me all the way. That my dreams are God given and I should persevere. I will do my best and in God's perfect ways and perfect time, my dreams will be handed to me.

5. Surprisingly, my hubs and my daughter were outside the church waiting for me. They were eating in a nearby burger stand when I passed them by. Great! I need not commute. Haha.

6. I finally had my much needed haircut and I love how it light it feels. I love it!

7. I was just on time for Body Pump. I did treadmill for 30 minutes and somewhere in between, I increased my speed to 6.

“Don't be afraid, I am with you. Don't be discouraged for I am your God..." - Is 41:10

1. We are early this morning. It feels great that I had ample time for my daily devotional at the church.
2. We all attended our church duties and everything went smoothly.
3. My daughter wanted me to wait for her just because. She usually doesn't want to go with me at the nearby mall but this time she said she'd go. I waited for her church activities to get done.
4. Lunch with daughter at Shakey's
5. Mom and Pop called.
6. It feels good that I felt suddenly better after church. I prayed hard for the worry slowly creeping in. Prayers really work.
7. Exchange of small conversations over Twitter.

"God has made us in an amazing way! Don’t focus on your weaknesses. Focus on all the good things God has put in you.+ - Psalm 139.

1. Prioritizing. I'm actually doing it. And I am happy about it. All the more that I feel productive and highly responsible. I do what I need, want and have to do before anything else.
2. I prepared lunch - yang chow! My daughter loves this dish.
3. I woke up reading a text from the hubs greeting me a happy anniversary. My husband is like so full of life the past months. I mean he is a happier person. I know he feels fulfilled with whatever he is doing. :)
4. Husband brought home a cake with a dedication for our 15 years of marriage.
5. Proceeded to a nearby mall to have our glasses fixed. I usually get lazy going out of the house for these things but as I've said, I just need to do what I need to do. And it starts even with small things like this. Now, my daughter and I are wearing what seems to be brand new glasses.
6. Pop called. They called early in the afternoon but we were not home. The phone was ringing at around 11 PM but I did not catch it. I know Pop just have to call again just to check what's up coz we haven't picked up twice for the day. Good thing we were able to talk even for a few minutes.

"Out of His goodness, God is supplying all your needs. There are moments of favor He’s already released into your future."

1. I did my daily devotional at the church this morning. I followed what I should be having.

4. Settled electric bill.
5. My email was answered readily. :)
6. Happy to note hubs went back home for his phone which allowed me to have a free and comfortable ride going to the gym this morning. :)
7. I attended Body Pump and Body Balance. I love my outfit during body balance as I had ease of movement because of them.
8. I read a twit of my daughter, though late, saying she wants to go home. I called her about it right after I read it just to know what's it about. It wasn't really anything to worry about but I am happy to note that I am the first person my daughter calls for when her emotions are running high.
9. I am proud of my daughter because her grades improved significantly for the 3rd quarter. Her teacher also had good feedback about her - "There's no problem about your daughter.
She's one of my star pupils. She's quiet but when you ask her to do something, she does it well. Also, she's one of the students who can answer when most others cannot."
10. Bonding with my daughter after PTC, snack at Red Ribbon with her favorite pan grilled and mashed potatoes.
11. Groceries with my daughter.

"We cannot make the mistake of just sitting back and settling where we are." - Joel Osteen

3. Yes, I gained enough confidence tonight to really make a go of this.

"This year can be your year of "thriving" instead of "striving." The key is living in God's grace and power, not your own."

1. I had my daily devotional this morning at the church. My day proved to be very productive.
2. I went home to prepare everything I will be needing for tomorrow. I took a nap, a really short nap and proceeded to my destination.
3. Thankful that I checked out the venue for tomorrow instead of just being at the gym. God knows why I chose to still travel and check even if I already know where I'll be heading.
4. Palabok and a slice of cake for my lunch. :)
5. I still went to the gym for my treadmill. 322 calories lost. That's for the cake. :D I weighed in, still the same weight. Haha. I am paranoid.

1. An unexpected call early tonight which made me really thankful and grateful to God.
2. I am so glad to note that my preparation for the things I need and want to do tomorrow are all done. It was a breeze as a matter of fact which I did not think it will be. Lol. Anyways, also, I am glad to note that what I need matches with what I had a few weeks ago. I need not edit anything. Thank You, Lord.
3. My daughter and I attended our church meeting tonight. Thank You, God, for making me listen. Also, I'm praying that I'll be able to do my part on the church's mission.
4. Joined 3 classes today at the gym. I also did 20 minutes of treadmill, inclined at 15% gradient.
5. Uploading our pictures last night at Stacy's. I love looking at the pictures. The restaurant's so dainty, like a big dollhouse.
6. I am happy to note that I don't get agitated. I pray and I am keeping the faith. :)
