These Little Wonders

Last Sunday was special, as every day is when spent with the people you love. ♥ From the celebration of the Holy Eucharist to watching two epic basketball games, God's message was consistent. And I heard it loud and clear. Four letters. One word. PRAY. Let's begin with the Gospel (Luke 11:1-13): Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."  He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread  and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,  for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,'  and he says...

One of the things I'd like to accomplish before I turn 30 is to have a legit personal savings account. For years, it seemed an impossible dream due to the fact that I don't earn that much. The little salary that I get for being an analyst at the GMC is merely enough for my personal needs. It is only by God's grace and providence that I am able to survive, and in some occasions, obtain my "wants." So, opening a savings account was just too difficult for me.  But then again, "all it takes is a decision." :)  This year, I resolved to open an account. No more ifs and buts. I did a little research and discovered the best savings account for starters. Yeah, I'm still learning how to be an adult. I admit I am a late bloomer when it comes to financial literacy. And now that I'm seeing the "fruits" of my little investment with AXA, I could only wish I started sooner.  Anyway, didn't I just say that it's never too late ? :) ...

U: July na! P: Use July in a sentence.  U: ??? P: Why did JULY ? It's bad. Don't do it again. 😱😱😱 One of the things I love most about Paolo is his intelligence/sense of humor. To some (or most 😁), his jokes are the corniest, but to me, they're the funniest. Define love. Hahahaha. 😂 Actually, I love the fact that he really tries his best to make me feel lighter, and better, every single time.  Here's another proof of how genius this man is: This, among other little things, makes my life beautiful. 💖 Today is the start of a new month. And I have a new side hustle (hooray!). I know more beautiful things await me because I have a generous and loving God who wants nothing but the best for me. 😊 So yeah, as the second half of the year unfolds, I am getting myself ready for new opportunities, pleasant surprises, and answered prayers. 😃 I am excited as I declare today, it's going to be a BEAUTIFUL JULY!!! 👊👌👍💖💕
