“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

May 2014
My spirit had run dry after many years of questioning God whether or not I was meant to be a wife. I always knew that I was NOT intended to be ANY man’s Querida - lover. however, I was oblivious to see that God had something aligned for me at HIS time, NOT at mine. Just when I had given up, he gifted me with what I had longed for - another one of my victories (my husband). That’s when I clearly, directly and intensely felt his presence and realized that he is watching us from the moment we are born. He gives us the opportunity to see, live and experience things for us to grow and evolve for better. Despite that, sometimes we tend to take the reign and push him aside deceiving ourselves that our destiny is in our hands.

Last May, I remember one night very vividly. I was in desperate search for answers and decided to open my heart to him, I asked him, “God, I leave this matter in your hands, I no longer wish to retain this emotional burden. Help me be patient, I need your guidance to help me understand and accept your will. Whether you want me to be a successful business woman, a religious figure, a wife, a mother, please give me signs and open my mind and eyes to visualize it and work towards it.”

Shortly after that, a month to be exact, all my prayers were answered...
My husband came to my life. I know it sounds wild, but from the moment we met, we knew we were the ‘one’ for each other. It took a little longer for me to figure it out, not because I didn’t   sense the good in him, BUT because I was filled with skepticism from prior hurt and disappointment. God worked arduously year after year since we were born for our paths to merge at the right time and place, that’s why we are very blessed with each other.

I can visualize one of the first things I told him, (thinking to myself but was very bold at the same time, after dodging many bullets I can no longer conceal my principles) “I am catholic, that is very important for me.” When I implied that, I was nervous and anxious for his reply. He replied, “Gina, this is also very important to me, I am catholic, I went to catholic school.” My heart dropped with joy! Every day and night we spent hours and hours talking, getting to know each other more, until we decided to become one.

Now that our paths have crossed, I have a different intake of life. A whole different scenario of the universe. Now we have a reason to live. We are now facing our journey together, with our principles. We want to work at being better for each other and our future children, our family, our community, our society, our country, our world.

Life is more rosy now like grandpa told me all along, “good things happen to good people, so don’t you ever give up!” I have asked and I have been given, I have searched for and I have found, I have knocked, and many doors have been opened to me...
