Tell us a bit about your family (spouse, children, parents?): I am married to a wonderful husband named Arthur and we have a son named Arthur Louie, the apple of my eye. These are the two most precious men in my life.
Country of Birth: I was born in our Adventist Hospital in Cebu , The Miller Sanitarium & Hospital in the Philippines. I practically grew up in Cebu.
Favorite color:Pink although I find myself wearing a lot of black clothes which goes with anything
Favorite food:Rice - cannot live wihtout rice because fish, chicken and vegetables will not taste good without rice.
Favorite Bible Verse:Proverbs 8:17
"I love those who love me and those who seek me diligently will find me." This text gives me strength every day to help me realize that it is His strength that carried me through all those years and He will still carry me through.
Favorite Woman in the Bible and why:
My favorite woman in the Bible is Sarah. She must have been a very beautiful woman because even kings found her very attractive, that even her husband had to tell a lie about her (half lie- she was his half sister) and yet she never questioned him. Then she was barren for a while and because she wanted so much for Abraham to have a child, she consented that Abraham get their maid servant pregnant. This of course caused conflict but God had other plans for her life and even as an older woman, she was chosen to be the mother of nation. God blessed her.
As a woman of God what do you need from your fellow women from the church? I would like to get to know the other women in the church better.
Is there anything you want to do with other women or for other women? Get together more often
Tell us a short story of your life’s journey as a woman of God.
I was born into a faithful Seventh-day Adventist family and was educated in our Adventist School system since the elementary years. There was a time when I had to study at a private exclusive-for-girls college called St Theresa's College where I learned to sing, dance and be fashionable and be independent. But I missed the Adventist atmosphere, so I transferred to Adventist University in the Philippines to finish my Bachelor's Degree in English. And that's where I met my wonderful husband Arthur.
He worked full time while I worked part-time as an English teacher in college. I taught Speech Communication and Reading Comprehension to sophomore college nursing students for 2 years before I got a teaching job here in America. I am currently teaching language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies to students from K-2 with special needs. I am hoping to finish my Master's Degree in Special Education through distance learning program in March 2012. I turn to God in my greatest hour of need, stress, anxiety and hopelessness. I am blessed with a faithful Seventh-day Adventist husband and we have dedicated our son to God so he will also know Him deeply and make Him first, last and everything in his life.
