Day 33: Day and Night

I was able to get RL a small Pororo plush from a toy supplier. Now, because I know Pororo is in demand among little kids, I thought of getting a few extra pieces to sell. I had announced it with a photo on Instagram Saturday night.

7.5" Pororo Plush, P150 each.

When I woke up Sunday morning, I had sold out! Galing, diba? Early blessing!

I had to teach at Children's Church that day and we introduced Power Truths to the preschool class. Power Truths are short phrases that summarize the day's lesson. Our Power Truth that day was: "God Takes Care of Me!"

The kids and I had a really, really long day out of the house that Sunday (no nanny, etc), and we were feeling particularly stressed with the day's tiring events that I had forgotten about that morning's early blessing. That night, while in bed, I whispered a prayer to God and asked Him to take away the stressful feeling. I also asked for Him to remind me that He is always in charge, and that I can count on Him to take care of me. Needless to say, I wasn't feeling too happy with my "tired" situation (being a single parent takes its toll on the body, heart and mind at times).

Right before drifting off to sleep, my phone gave another "squawk"!

Squawk! Another screaming text from Mia. LOL!

Yes, "we" had won another two tickets to see Wilson Phillips! It was a great reminder that God truly takes of us - this was His immediate answer to my prayer. It was God's way of saying, "I shall take care of you. I will not only bless you, I will pour out My blessings 'til your cup overflows."

Extra blessed. 

Day 31: We Have a Winner!

The girls and I have been praying extra hard for tickets to go see Wilson Phillips. We're low on budget so we've been counting on God. See, we were set on getting those discounted Upper Box (yes, Upper Box lang, sniff!) tickets from a coupon site, but missed it by a few hours!

When Random Minds first announced they were bringing in Wilson Phillips, Mia, Lara and I already knew we wanted to watch. We just needed to decide on how much we were willing to spend for it (c'mon, we work hard for our money, plus we have responsibilities - insert sheepish grin here).

Last week, we joined a couple of online contests and kept our fingers crossed. Figured that maybe we can win ourselves the tickets, just in case they don't put anything on sale anymore. Then, mid last week, Lara decides she was gonna sit this one out. She has a 6-month old baby boy (an adorable one at that) and can't leave him for long hours as he is exclusively breast-fed. She also didn't think it would start so late (8pm). So we agreed we'd meet for dinner before the show and that Mia and I will use the tickets in case one of us wins.

Then Friday morning, I woke up to this screaming (well, if text messages could scream, that is) text message from Mia...

Notice how she sends the text at 5:24am?!!!

Yes, Lara won us tickets! And Mia and I get to use them! I cannot believe it! Counting on God. WOW.

Extra blessed. I can't wait for October 12!
