June 10 affirmation

I have been feeling a bit down these past few days. Last night, after work, we played in the rain. I also slept relatively early and had a good sleep. This morning, my phone's Bible app wouldn't load and so I thought about jotting down a dream I had in my thoughts diary instead of reading about the verse of the day ---

Had a suuuuuper nice dream.

We were in a place that felt like we go there some times but never really considered it home

Aki was walking around and chanced upon a group of junior high students. My thought was eto na dapat yung classmates ni kuya.

They accepted him! They were singing ang dancing together. Aki had no cane but they had their arms around him to guide him. Until they culminated by forming a circle with Aki in the middle, laughing and clapping his hands. When I approached him, he was teary eyed with happiness and said, let's live here na lang. I was so happy that I told dad immediately.

LOrd, I hope this is your way of telling me that Aki will be all right. That he will be accepted and celebrated despite of his disability. Thank You for finding delight in my son, Lord. 😃

And when I closed my OneNote app, the Bible verse of the day has loaded and see what it says ---

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

Jeremiah 31:25 KJV

Truly, Lord, you have replenished my soul. Thank You, thank You so much!

June 7

Today's verse of the day is --

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove your stony heart from your body and replace it with a living one,

Ezekiel 36:26 CEB

The prayer goes like this --

Reading the whole chapter, I feel like I am reminded that sometimes God allows us to be in the dark so that we know that He is the light. There are times when we pray so hard about something, only to claim victory over it for ourselves when we achieve what we pray for. We forget how we begged God for it in prayer, and it is only through God's grace that we are "victorious".

So never forget your prayers, please. Stay grateful for all of your blessings. Stay humble, stay kind. I love you.

P.S. don't forget our verse yesterday -- God gives you everything you need (not want) and more so that you can share your blessings. 😘
