On my last birthday, I didn't really celebrate with a lot of hullabaloo [means Great noise or excitement; teehee!] as I'm reserving that for the big 30. But I did a lot of rethinking of what I really wanted to do with my life, my blog, my career moves. Anyway, as my last post says, life is short and who knows when the end may come.
So I got to thinking, that what I really wanted, first of all, is to be a wife of noble character like in Proverbs. Next, I wanted to encourage other young moms as well and give hope to each and every marriage. Nobody realizes when they get married what hard work it actually is.
Everyone seems to envision a bed of roses, rosy-cheeked children, a home, and a nice, stable job. But what they don't realize is without Christ in the center of the marriage, they mean nothing. No marriage will stand on its own, and run 10, 20 or 50 years on its own strength. And when marriage crumbles down and gets shattered, it is so easy to give up rather than fight for it.
We all idolize the perfect "marriage." Even the wedding day itself costs almost half a million pesos these days, with wedding expos left and right. But what is more important than the vows itself is that God should be part of your marriage, because He is the only one who can make your marriage run a long, long, long time.
So I am redefining this blog to actually share words of wisdom about marriage, on being a wife of exceptional character, and hopefully encourage other young moms and wives out there.
