Auckland, here we come!
November 7, 2006
Mixed with so much emotions, I could easily be described as a special halo-halo when we landed in Auckland, New Zealand. It was special because this new chapter of our life as a family is a bold move to a country which is as beautiful as it is intriguing.
It was also a mixed feeling, a tinge of sadness as we think of our loved ones back in the Philippines; with a little apprehension when we think of the so many unknowns in this life; a feeling of excitement as we start all over again (and hopefully not committing the mistakes of the past); lots of joy also for being united again with some of the members of the family (the twins and their family). and a lot of other feelings. all inside you, stirred (but not shaken), almost becoming like a concoction we call back home as "special halo-halo."
We can only be grateful for God who made all these things possible through the help of Joy and Jerry, who generously welcome us to their home.
We are now in a job hunting frenzy, and it puts another mixture of emotions (one of anticipation, apprehension, anxiety, humility, etc). But whatever we are facing now, we all believe that God in His sovereignty will never leave us. He will not give us trials beyond our capacities and therefore, if we will just put our trust in Him, all our trust in Him, this will be a beautiful world to live in.
God bless.
