HAPPY


Can I be HAPPY again?

Going through this - “my” unplanned journey as a widow, was the most hardest experiences in my life. I had other hardships in my journey as a girl, teen, young woman, but nothing compared to losing someone you truly love so much. 
During my early days into widowhood, I’ve never imagine, I would be so happy, so free and so much at peace. From this day I am amazed. I give all the praises to my Heavenly Father for giving me his strength and his grace to pull through. 

The answer to my question - Yes I can be happy again. God just wants us to be happy. 

Is happiness really the greatest good in the world? Statements like “Happy wife, happy life” and “The ultimate goal of life is the pursuit of happiness” have been staples in our society for as long as I can remember. But is that what God’s main priority for our lives is—to just be happy? 

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not anti-happy. I’m a big fan of healthy happiness. What I’m talking about is the world’s definition of happiness or, even more relevant to each of us, our own view of happiness. The world’s idea of happiness is directly tied to circumstances. If our circumstances are favorable, then we’re happy. If not, then we’re not. 
But here’s the deal: our circumstances change all the time. Many of us allow these vacillating circumstances to dictate our happiness. It’s an extremely dangerous scenario when outward forces control our inward feelings. 

Does God have something more in store for you and me than just happiness? Here is the wonderful answer to that good question. Three little letters: J-O-Y. God desires that you and I experience joy—that settled state of contentment, confidence, and hope that comes only from trusting Him. 

This beautiful truth is yet another indication of why joy is truly greater than happiness. Joy is not built on outward circumstances, but on Christ dwelling inside believers. If the Spirit of Christ is always inside me and will never leave me, then my joy will never leave me. No matter what I go through, I can have joy because my God is with me. Good days— joy. Bad days—joy. Suffering—joy. When everything goes my way—joy. When nothing goes my way—joy. My joy remains because my Christ remains. 

You will find joy when you know where joy comes from. God has greater plans for you.

Love you all and blessings MISS.AGE❤️

Dating.

“Single are you ready to mingle” Being a widow has been the most hardest journey I’ve ever in encounter in my life. It has been also a blessing that Our Heavenly Father is able to heal me and to give me the strength to continue this journey without my wonderful, increditable, loving, handsome husband. God is Good!!!!  But I wanted to talk about this topic “DATING”. There are a lot of you writing to me about this topic.  It’s been 2 years and 3 months since  my husband Age has passed away. I have no urgency or the desire to date anyone because I enjoy being fully whole with God. Spending time with my Heavenly Father and my loved ones is what I need for this season. But if it’s the Lords will for me to have another husband. ( hmmmm man that sounds weird??). Well that’s God’s instructions. But at this moment in my life,  I’m happy trying to fix me and fix my eyes onto God.  People ask me all the time, “When will I be ready to date?” My answer a...

New To Widowhood

One year into widowhood. First year of being a widow was hell!  When Age passed away I continued to stay with Age’s family. I didn’t want to leave Melbourne yet. I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening with my life.  So I pretended like everything was normal, I continue to carry on with life as if Age was alive; I went to work, pay bills, attended church and the list goes on.  But I started to noticed that things weren’t the same. The more I noticed the more I became depressed. My Home environment changed - there are certain things happened at my Melbourne home around me and towards me that we’re pretty bad. If my husband was alive things would have been handle differently or it wouldn’t happen at all.  My Health - I was gaining huge amount of weight, I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, there were days I could walk because of my back. I did all this not realising I was hurting myself.  My Finances - I was down on o...

Take Heart

"Am I OK?" Have you ever walked into a room and turned around because you have no idea why you’re there? Grief can do that to you. Unfamiliar emotions can make you think you’re losing your mind and can make important decisions seem close to impossible. If you’re experiencing mental fogginess, take heart. The clouds will lift.  Grief-related sleeplessness, appetite changes, mood swings and mental cloudiness will diminish and eventually subside over time. The good news is, you are not going crazy.  Miss.Age❤️
