A New Year...A New Chapter...A New Life...



               When we were kids, I remember Mark, my baby brother, imitating almost everything I did.  When I displayed my drawings on our refrigerator, the following day you would see the same picture posted beside it drawn by him.  When I started painting and had my works included in our school’s exhibits, later on he excelled by winning poster making contests.  When I finally made my own signature, I saw him practicing his signature that looked almost the same as mine (he took out the “R” and replaced the signature with “M”).  I loved dancing and made it my hobby for quite some time and never thought he’d be able to outgrow his stiff moves...yet years later, he became a choreographer and turned out to be a very graceful dancer.  I learned to play two instruments and somehow discovered I could sing; but my brother can play more instruments and I consider him as one of the musical geniuses of this generation.  I took up commerce and he successfully made it as a CPA.  I dreamed of a lifetime spiritual partner...while he prayed for a lifetime partner and met his soul mate.  I planned of getting married and HE GOT MARRIED!

                Haha!  Don’t get me wrong here...I am actually the proudest sister on this universe.  My baby brother is now a man I believe God is so pleased to have made.  When he asked me two years ago if he could marry, I honestly didn’t know how to answer sincerely.  It made me cry whenever I thought of it ever since.  Because it meant letting go of my baby brother who is my best friend, my knight, and my favourite brother in the whole wide world (does that count? Hehe!)!  I would always tell people, I can let go of anybody except my brother.  However, seeing him grow to be a wonderful person who always does nothing but the best for God and always putting Him first than anybody else, I no longer have to play as a protective sister always worrying what will become of him in the future.  I have seen that Jesus resides in him and I trust that his future will be so bright.

                As he starts a new chapter of his life, I am hoping that more people will be inspired by his examples.  Discovering his state of life was not an easy choice for him as well.  Discerning for the right vocation, dealing with the ups and downs of relationships, facing the challenges in our family purified him all these years into becoming what he is right now.  The blessing that the Lord bestowed upon him recently is just amazing – Sacrament of Matrimony.  This sacrament will truly make him steps closer to God as he has a partner to be with on his journey. 

                To his wife, Aya, I praise God for making her part of our family.  She is one of the most genuine friends I have.  I am glad to have her as an official sister.  I can be at peace now knowing that somebody will be there to take good care of my brother and to support him in his ongoing mission of BRinging EVery Soul TO Christ the King.  May they be examples to all those who are discerning on their state of life and a model to those who are starting a family.

                To the newlyweds, congratulations!  My blessings and prayers will always be with you...I LOVE YOU.  Brev it up!
