A friends story

Well...
With the falling to my face and rising, the setbacks, the trials and disappointments, I've learn one thing that works. My eyes are always on God to see me through and, I pick up lessons, wake up, and go harder.
My advice is never let man define you and never give up on you. God still have you in mind. You have all it takes. Keep doing right... Keep pouring love even when you get failure or hate. God sees your heart and will always reward the faithful. Stop pointing fingers when you know you have your own.

God uses even the negative to teach us..
Your experiences will take you places like Joseph in the Bible.

Thank you all the special people that God has allowed us cross paths.
My friends, family, colleagues, partners, neighbors, daughters, emerging sisters, and my friends here on Facebook. ....thank you for believing in me. Truly humbled.
It's not mistake that we know each other.

Let's put Love first and God will keep using us for His Glory.

I love you all...
Emerge with Irene

PS...

2008... Reconciled with my dad...actually forgave this time after understanding that its not about expectations but me giving love no matter what

2014... My loving Dad asked me for forgiveness ...."this my daughter ...I had abandoned but God picked her. I have asked God to forgive me, can you please also forgive me?" I hugged him with all love ...that day I got healed from all.

My Dad is the best Dad in the world ..period!

Most important:

If you see me facing trials... Don't worry yourself.... I am always in a classroom.

Check yourself,,,,,, if you are still ashamed to face weaknesses, you will never deal them. Don't worry about people's opinions about you....they too have their own issues and are using yours yo mask themselves. Focus on working on your issues, learning from your mistakes and making yourself valuable to your self and the society. The rest will fall in place. Emerge with Irene
