LIFE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.

I

I met Colleen on the year 1992 of somewhere between June to Sept. on a gospel bus. We are going home from a church young people’s meeting. I was never attracted to her until on the midyear of 1997. At that time she was still in the fulltime training and partly serving the church. During a conference she did something that really impressed me deeply. I told myself " She is the one whom I will marry one day". I was only 23 years old at that time and so was Colleen. Even though we were the same age I was kind of very immature compare to her and adding my baby face or little boyish looks. But being attracted to a wonderful lady never ceases me from desiring her. Until one day we served together in a small group meeting. At that time I know I had an opportunity to advance myself to her. I called her even during her office hours to discuss what can we do about the Small group and the young people in that small group.

That time she was already working in a company and the Lord knows that I was still pure on fellowshipping the small group with her. She responded nicely and as days go by I even started to invite her for dinner regarding the small group and to fellowship. I know I started courting her on the month of Aug 1997. She will always accept my invitations for dinner or going to the small group meeting together until one day it was already obvious to her about my attraction to her. Sadly she wrote a letter discouraging me to continue. I was sad and even tearfully sharing my broken heart to some brothers in the church whom I am close to. But anyway I was surprise because I thought that I was already advancing and I told myself that how come she turned me down. But I still try one more time to invite her for dinner and she accepted my invitation and at that time I feel that she has some "Pakipot" over me. So I continue and everything went well until I got her YES on December 7, 1997.

We were steady for almost five years with lots of ups and downs but thank the Lord and to some brothers who help us during those times. Until one day for so long a time that I felt I do not want to go home by myself anymore. I want her to go home with me. I proposed marriage to her on her birthday and we got engaged and married on Sept 21.2002. I know since the year of 1997 that I will marry a wonderful woman and a faithful sister in the Lord. Until now this is still my feeling toward her. I love her very much even though I know that I am still a selfish person who really does not deserve her. But thank The Lord Jesus for leading thru and blessing our marriage.

It is our third year now as husband and wife. I will like to tell the whole world what a blessed person am I to have a wife such as Colleen. I love you sweetheart.

Happy third year anniversary and may the Lord continue to bless us and preserve us in Him. Smmmooooocccchhhh!!!

O soul, he that awakes during dawn,

Never seem in delighted moment.

Soul seeks you but never found.

When will you show your radiance

To the soul as a flower withered.

Soul waits for you, you dawn.

Where will you rise? East or west?

Soul seeks you but its always dusk.

I, soul waited at the east but not,

I, soul waited at the west but not.

Dusk wooed me, my heart is death.

Where is dawn whom my eyes seeks,

You never look upon me again.

I am weak as a brittled  bone. 

I am homely without your rays.

Restore my salvation which I need,

Save me for I am becoming dusk.
