I feel my boyfriend, Ric and I are a testimony to broken hearted young adults. This is not something to brag about. If there's something that we can brag, it is how the will of God when obeyed will bring fullness into our lives.
Yesterday, Ric told me again how he felt inspired by the response of a single girl who's a dormate of her sister suffering from failed relationship.To encourage the girl, Ric told her a testimony about our relationship.
Our story went this way: After one year and five months Ric and I finally see each other. Committing not to see each other that long for the reason that; to grow, and finding the will of God into our personal lives. Ric is a seminarian in APTS Baguio ( 6hr traveling hrs. away from me). 2 semester, and he will soon graduate this September of 2011. As I am a working girl, a designer here in manila. Our relationship is lasting, in fact we are turning to 10 years this June 2011, As we realized our pact to be separated in a given time was challenging and yet full of freedom to discover ourselves. You can do whatever you want and then do it as if no one will be taken inconsideration to. One and a half year is too short to get separated to discover a lot of ourselves, for me its just a break to really make sure that we as a person in a relationship is totally who we are when we are together. Sometimes I tend to feel out of balance when everything is quite routinize. routinize in the sense that--- to sustain the relationship we have: is to call over the phone everyday to check out, is to find time to do as quite often to see each other, to celebrate special event together and so on and so forth. A good thing indeed to keep the relationship alive. But as we hope to reach the fullness of our relationship, God put into our hearts the need to be separated from each other for a time. In that way we may realize that our fullness as one being comes from the father God and that acknowledges us the need to nurture by priority our relationship with the Father. The time that we were apart from each other gave us the freedom to seek what it is to become a unique individual needing to share each other lives as God wills it to be. As we offered our fate to God, He provided the way for us to get back together. He controlled everything to fulfill His plan for us. Truly, I can see clearly that we are for each other and was created for a purpose. A purpose to glorify Him into our relationship. Others asked us what's the point, for when we are in a long time relationship. That 9 years--does it mean we are not pretty sure of ourselves being together forever?, I would say, When you truly love each other you would find ways to bring it to the fullest, not lacking of anything. I sure believe that being a unique individual has its flaws too and can't fulfill all the need of a partner.But being right with God first will lead you on how to fulfill the relationship to your partner despite the flaws and imperfection of who we are. Now that we met each other, I see a change person in ourselves. We are still who we are but a lot different as being in a relationship.We became mature in our decisions: minor to major things. We become controlled by love and wisdom of being "as one" not by being individually made fitting each other "to be one".
God is the author of everything. All we can do now is to read our rough draft story that we honestly claiming our own and make God proofread it to us--in so, we can read it with quite confidence to others. A good book indeed.
We make things work for us as God leads us to. No matter how risky it is, when you trust God you find courage despite the fear. When we overcame and testify the faithfulness of God. We share it a loud to people needing to hear it.
This girl that my boyfriend is encouraging, find rest to her weary heart. We may never know when we could be of help to others. But being prepared to tell our stories of obedience to God will be beneficial to others as well to our heart of gratefulness to the Lord who sustains.
Now let's wait and see the next surprise God has set for us as we wait for the second plan in our relationship. We, in our relationship find the strength in seeking God's best. We believe that His will for us is the best plan we could ever hold for. How we can know His will? by nurturing our personal relationship to God..
Jesus as the foundation of everything we have, our relationship

(Numbers 23:19 NIV) God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
Psalm 25:12
Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose.
Philemon 1:21
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure.

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Proverbs 3:6
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
(Psalms 33:11-13 NIV) But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. {12} Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. {13} From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
(Psalms 84:11-12 NIV) For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. {12} O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
