I have been trying and trying to find a way to get in this blog so I can tap away on the keys all my thoughts and all my blahs that I have been sooooo wanting to share ---- as it goes, I have experienced the ultimate epidural moment.
Whenever I forget something I always attribute this to the fact that I have had an epidural when I gave birth to my daughter 2 years and 3 days ago and so far it has been a challenge. Now, the ulitmate challenge has been sent upon me --- and that is: to remember my password so I can blog!!! grrrr!!!! Goodness!!!
I have been known to remember the most miniscule detail when I was still working in HR and my boss would rely on me to keep those 'memories' intact and used whenever needed... hmmm....
I guess I need to drink something for my memory or maybe I just need to exercise already so more oxygen cells can enter and help my memory part of the brain function to its full capacity (?) or maybe I just have to accept that aging does things to us... ok, ok to me :-)
Well, as long as I don't have an epidural moment when it comes to loving and serving my family, my community and my God then I guess I am still pretty much set in solving the "ultimate challenges" that come my way.
Epidural moment or not, nothing is more important than remembering these:
Gods way is the best way.
Gods time is the perfect time.
Gods promise is our salvation.
Gods love is.... well... He is LOVE. ---- what more should I need to remember?
Happy M3 reading and may your days be blessed always!

Appreciating Simple Moments
I'm now watching my daughter (barely 2 years old) play and draw and just having a fun,wonderful time.
Her innocence is such a delight!
I'm drinking a cup of joe while reading the newspaper while watching my Isabel enjoy her play time. :-)
These are the simple moments that I truly thank God for. Moments where I feel inner peace, joy and contentment.
Everyday when we get caught up with our to-do-lists, we get tangled up on schedules, meetings, activities in the house and elsewhere plus all the other stuff that need to be done, we pass through the day forgetting to appreciate the simple moments.
I guess simple moments are also what I can call God-time moments. Its when you enjoy and relish simple activities and even experience God simply being in your life.

A Testimony of Love
I have been married for three years and I can remember many fond moments during my wedding.
I have an absolutely fantastic husband, we were bestfriends first, about 13 years, and then bestfriends-in- love (hehehe! :-)) and that day we came to church, asked for the blessing of God and family and said our "I do's" was the day our testimony of love had been made public.
A wedding is such a festive event, and we look at couples so in love that we can visualize"happiness".
In Jesus' last days, there were no festivities or celebrations but the true testimony of love had come forth for us!
Jesus' love for all of us was made known when He was crucified on the cross and He died for our sins.
His love for us was so great that He gave up His life in order to save us.
When we come before Jesus Christ during a wedding or even during mass, let's remember His testimony of love.
He came and became man. He was a preacher, a healer, a brother, a friend. He was a walking testimony of God loves for us. Let His testimony of love be our guide in showing others what it means to be a Christian.
Let's remember to celebrate in His name and dwell in House visualizing "happiness" -- a happiness that come with knowing Him, loving Him and "walking" with Him.

From the Mouth of Babes
I am a babe.
Not the kind of "babe" you might be thinking...
Nor am I literally a baby.
I am actually a wife and a newbie mom to my almost 2 year old daughter. In my family, my daughter is the babe.
But in one of our CLPs , I found myself being called a "baby of Christ".
My husband and I have attended the CLP for the past 13 weeks and one friday the talk was about growing in the Spirit.
When it comes to growing in the Spirit, I am indeed a babe. And like a baby, I need nourishment, continuous support of a parent and a loving environment in order to grow --- and not just simply grow, but to grow in the way God wants me to.
As a baby of Christ, I found that I can be nourished with food --- food for the spirit: that through prayer, the Bible, the sacraments, active service and fellowship, I can grow in the Spirit and live in the Spirit and love in the Spirit.
Like a parent, God has been most patient. His love endures and I can still feel His presence even at that point in my life when I had been complacent about being His daughter. He wants me to tell the world what I know ---that as a parent, He will never abandon His children, He will always forgive us and in the end He will save us.
Like a babe, I need a parent like Him, and like a true parent, He is always holding me close to His heart.
Speaking of the heart, a loving environment makes a growing baby a happy and peaceful one. And as a baby of Christ, He has blessed me with sisters in CFC (Couples for Christ) that has been encouraging, kind, and generous...
What else can a babe ask for?
I am a babe.
And from the mouth of a babe I shall proclaim His name.

In Careful Retrospect
When I was single I had the most fortunate opportunity to spread the of God through the blessed tool called the email :-)
I emailed family and friends under the subject M3 which stands for Morning Ministry Mail.
I used to write stories about Gods' way of touching my life and how He inspires me in my daily walk with Him.
I have long since stopped emailing family and friends and in careful restrospect I realized that it is due to the fact that I have not been as "observant" of Him as I was when I was single.
Being married and now also being a mom has made my life more filled, fulfilled and fun-filled... And my ever patient God is just waiting for me to become "observant"of Him as I was before.
Now, I have come to a point in my life, with the encouragement of my husband, my sister and my sisters in Couples for Christ to start writing again.
I have searched for the longest time what title subject I can use to spread His word and my search has come full circle ---the subject title was here all along.
Welcome friends to another batch of M3 moments.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
May your days be blessed always!
