Visited Google homepage today and was surprised to see the birthday logo greetings.
Well, that’s something new to me. Thanks Google!
Yes, it’s my 18th birthday, 18 years ago. So it’s my 2nd 18th birthday! 🙂

Sean: Mommy ilang taon ka ng ipinanganak mo ako? (Mommy how old were you when you gave birth to me?)
Me: 28
Sean: Ano?! 28 ka pa lang may baby ka na? (What?! You were only 28 and you already have a baby?)
Me: Matanda na yung 28 ano, yung iba nga 16 pa lang may baby na, at ang pinakabatang mommy, 5 years old lang. (28 is old already, others as young as 16 already have babies, the youngest mommy is only 5 years old)
Me: God, can I ask You a question?
God: Sure.
Me: Promise You won’t get mad.
God: I promise.
Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?
God: What do u mean?
Me: Well, I woke up late.
God: Yes.
Me: My car took forever to start.
God: Okay.
Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.
God: Huummm.
Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call.
God: All right.
Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home, I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax. BUT it wouldn’t work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?
God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of My angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
Me (humbled) OH
GOD: I didn’t let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Me: (ashamed)
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn’t want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn’t afford to miss work.
Me: (embarrassed) Okay
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn’t even let you talk to them so you would be covered.
Me: (softly) I see God
God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn’t think you wanted to be in the dark.
Me: I’m Sorry God.
God: Don’t be sorry, just learn to trust Me…. in all things, Â the good and the bad.
Me: I will trust You.
God: And don’t doubt that My plan for your day is always better than your plan.
Me: I won’t God. And let me just tell you God, thank You for everything today.
God: You’re welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children.
A meaningful life is not about being rich, being popular, being highly educated, or being perfect. It is about being real, being humble, being strong and being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. It is only then that we could have a full happy and contended life.
