My best friend on Philippine TV!

Carissa Villacorta was featured on Charlene Gonzales' show Proudly Filipina.

So proud of you Caris!

Teka celebrity ka na ba ngayon? Wow! Sosyal...
Again, I keep saying this to people about you (because they email me and say- I can't believe you're friends with Carissa Villacorta! I love her book!)- I am so honoured to have grown up with you, to have shared your dreams with you, to have seen you literally DREAM IT (pre-2002 in Starbucks and Ateneo) to actually LIVING IT (in NY and UK).

From Pilar girls playing patintero and colouring books, to being citizens of the world... Who knew?

Happy belated birthday, Caris! I wish you bigger dreams. Because, surely you can dream bigger now!

Two new things to think about

A couple of you know that I've been praying for something really special (not a baby yet though).

I prayed that God answer my one and only prayer- and you know what He gives me two opportunities! The one I want isn't yet a sure deal, but I think that he's given me the other one to keep me distracted.

What to do with two good opportunities? It's definitely a good problem to have right? I hope it is.

Again- decisions, decisions...

Claiming

Lord,

You know the desires of our hearts. Only you can make this a reality Lord Jesus. We've done everything we can and now Lord all we can do is to trust you and leave it up to you. It's been hard Lord to leave it to you and have no control on what happens next. You know Lord God how much we want this, and we believe Lord Jesus that YOU alone can make this happen. With YOU, ALL THINGS ARE TRULY POSSIBLE. We know Lord that you have blessed us immensely. In fact, our lives are a testament to your love, to your splendour, to your glory. And we want to do what is best to show your love and splendour and glory even more. And we certainly feel unworthy of your love- BUT Lord, we know that you are our savior and that you only want what is best for us. So Lord, we lift this up to you.

You said Lord Jesus,

"Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be open"

With this promise, Lord Jesus, we CLAIM in your mighty and powerful name that you will make this a reality for us. For you alone are our saviour, our King, our God. We trust in you ALONE Lord God.

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore




and oh, how could I not be moved, Lord here with you
So have your way in me, cause Lord there is just one thing
that I will seek




HEAR OUR PRAYER O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY



Love
Mike and Jan
