being there

Last Saturday, I spent almost the whole day watching this Koreanovela called "Fireworks", it's funny & touching at the same time. I finished it after my hubby & I attended our CLP at Brookside. The said series somehow relaxed me & lightened my mood. You see the past weeks have been draining for me, physically & emotionally. My husband is going through a difficult stage in his career. He felt so down & the usual makulit & smiley husband I have is recently frowning & has no energy for everything. I know I had to be there for him, it is my commitment to him and to God on our marriage day. It's hard but I tried my best to make him smile & to be just there for him. Of course, there were arguments in between, but in the end through constant discussions & fervent prayers, everything turned out fine. Up until now, things are still uncertain but I am just so elated when yesterday in one of our discussions, he said something that made me smile. I know, God heard my prayers because even if the light is still not visible, my husband's view on things already changed. I am aware of the fact that he is still scared but at least now he can smile & can already crack a joke.

We are both looking forward to the 1st retreat we will be attending as a married couple (MER1) this coming weekend. We need a rest from all the pressures around us and when our household head announced this retreat to us, we know that this is one thing we needed most at this time, an occassional rest with Him.
