How I Re-Met my Husband

A picture that my naughty children took during one of our long drives .. =) tsk ... =)


A few years ago, my husband and I were having trouble with (ahem ahem) communication, and so , we fought a lot lot lot.

I guess God thought that we needed a little help. And so, one day, a very old family friend of ours dropped by the office to talk about business... as usual.

And before he left, he invited us to join their community called the Bukas Loob sa Diyos (BLD). We were both quite hesitant to join for dozens of reasons... but something or someone was whispering to me .. or nudging me quite gently to join. And so, we made an unofficial promise.

As the days went by, the list of reasons not to join the Bukas Loob was getting longer. I'm too busy in the office as it is. I'm afraid of the outcome. Joining Bukas Loob meant another responsibility (being the boss, mother, friend, wife, cousin, sister), another part in need of attention.

Alas, the final week came and we decided to join. It was all in a rush because we had so many requirements to get. One of the funniest (and sweetest) was we had to get married again, this time to a parish priest.

To join the Bukas Loob sa Diyos(officially), you must experience a 3 day camp dedicated to opening yourself up to the Lord, your spouse and yourself. Of course, i wont spill the beans on the activities! But if you are interested to join, just leave a comment.

Back to my story.

Well, we finished all requirements just a few hours before the start of the camp. And then we were all set.

After the camp, i realized a lot of things. I joined Bukas Loob for a lot of wrong reasons like it was too awkward to back out of the promise. But God really makes His way. And through that experience, my husband and me learned so much.


Yes, we still argue. Yes, we still have our differences. But all in all, it has become more of a marriage than it has been for many years.

Did I have any regrets when i joined Bukas Loob sa Diyos? I'm proud to say NONE. I have actually been quite active for more than 5 years now. I have joined almost every event. My children have even joined in the fun! What more could i ask for?

God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He makes us understand when there is only confusion. God knows what's wrong even before we open our mouths. And God has loved and accepted every inch of our being.

Have a great day !
