yumm! i can't wait to try making them again by myself. and i doubly can't wait to make them for my parents! :D i already know what my momma is going to say: "you're ready to get married!" haha, she is always so predictable.
aside from gushing about our infatuation for food, samoneem had quite a lot to say about family. our conversation brought us both to tears. it was quite a sentimental moment we shared and by the time we finished, it was already evening.
one thing that struck me the most from today's conversation is how there are many strong, faithful, and godly servants who have come from broken families. it's really amazing how God has used these certain individuals to not follow the ways of their abusive, adulterous, alcoholic, or non-existent parents but rather, He has used them to be the complete opposite. it's quite true that parents play a key role in a child's life, but their significance is actually quite small compared to God's role in one's life. He conquers all.
"really, your situation is not as bad as compared to others'. there are people who have been or are in worse conditions. and yet, look how they've turned out! it's truly by God's work and His grace that have helped them turn out the way they did."
