This year, we went to Villa Elma. Based from stories, government officials used to go here in the lenten season to have a retreat in its hey days. It is located at the foot of Mt. Banahaw, the mysterious mountain.
I always wanted to go to the beach on our anniversary,but we were still pinching pennies so we opted for a cheap alternative-this serene place with a little trekking.
The place was sprawling, with hanging bridges, via dolorosa steps,viewing deck overlooking Mt. Banahaw, picnic grounds, parks etc. I waded through the stream, but the silt surfaced as I walked and it became murky hahaha. They say you can go swimming there, just pay extra-well I wouldn't do it.
Our marriage is not one without problems. We actually had quite a few misunderstandings these past months from the mundane day to day tasks to future directions and what have you.
J and I are Mars and Venus but God keeps us united. I try to change my attitude that doesn't please God like getting super annoyed, frustrated or angry without explaining why-I can't be feeling these things and keeping it to myself-because it will just cause bitterness of heart. In a marriage it is important to communicate and it is hard if I feel frustrated because there is no way I could talk to J properly. So, we have to sit down with M and R to sort things out sometimes and hear another perspective.
We take the Christian lifestyle seriously so I have realized through the years the importance of the community of believers as God designed it-and marriage is the picture of God's relationship with his people.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
