Year 2011--Learning's and Realizations

The year 2011 has been a roller coaster ride for me and most especially my family. It was a year filled with challenges, trials, learning's and hopes. I can say now that last year has been a year of learning from your mistakes because of the choices you have made and knowing whom you need to trust especially the people around you. I suffered with self-struggling not knowing what I really want for my life and for my family. Lesson learned in the hard way. Love life has never been good, who cares? That is not my main priority this year. Things will change for the better. After all the things I experienced last year, good or bad, bitter or sweet, God just made me realized one thing- that He is always there for me and my family through the toughest and darkest moments of our life. Honestly, the first quarter of year 2011 has never been good for us but we were able to bounced back after those hard times. It was just a test. I know God tested our faith. And we were able to surpassed it. My family passed everything. I don't blame anyone because of those experiences, it shaped me, it made me feel more loved by my family and it brought me closer to God. I couldn't asked for more but the love of my family and God. After all the ups and downs last year, the year still ended very well. So much for the bad things for our year 2011 also left a mark with us that we will never forget till the days of our life. I know that for every trials, good things comes after that. Now, we thanked God for the never-ending blessings that we are receiving as a family. The hard work paid off. The prayers granted. The love blossomed. There were no regrets but life filled with hope and chances. I am thankful I experienced this for now I learned more the value of life that it is not just about living but loving every single blessing God is giving you. I called it blessing because God will not give us something we can't handle. God is always good. And He will always be. I'm loving my life, my family and I thanked God wholeheartedly for that.
