Vegetable plot
About the photo :
This is the vege plot I passed by in upper part of Valencia .
Here's a little description of Valencia :
"Valencia is a ... municipality in the province of Negros Oriental, Philippines. It is located 9.4 kilometre west of Dumaguete...."
"Valencia was originally named Ermita, which means "a secluded place", due to its being a refuge from marauding Muslim pirates. In 1856 it was renamed to Nueva Valencia by Spanish colonizers, in honor of its parish priest Fr. Matias Villamayor from Valencia, Spain.
In 1920 it was renamed Luzuriaga in behalf of Don Carlos Luzuriaga, a delegate from Negros island to the Philippine Legislature who promised town officials he would work hard to help improve the town. The town was renamed Valencia in 1948, by virtue of Republic Act No. 252. "

I love gardening ,and find Valencia area good for this sort of interests . It's easy to grow patchoi or Petchay, brocolli ,cabbages , brussel sprouts, cauliflower ,carrots and many types of veges and flowers here . The temp is a little cooler from lowland .
If only peace would stretch another hundred years ,yet with the current crisis looming :population explosion the inevitable food shortage ,animals dying for some unknown reasons ,Our population has gone past the 7 billion mark ,you see the middleast conflict escalating /world terrorism , upheaval ,social moral decay ,spritual confusion and deception , the rise of occult teachings and growing tolerance towards darkness ; evil perceive as good ,abortions in millions -- can you ever think of a bright safe future ahead. Perhaps I'm only pessimistic ,but I like to look at real trends / knock on effects and what we see everywhere are tell tale signs of what's in store for the future ... the future doesn't look bright .
Thinking of retirement - I have to be honest , right now my gut feelings seem strongly on a negative line .
Before I'll reach The point of retirement big global changes could happen and this isn't for the better , 20 yrs seem too long .Big changes could happen anytime soon ,the markers are right at the door ,you can see them in God's manual ,the Bible. .I strongly feel there's no retirement for me here . I wish not to say this in the open ,because I knew many of you are kind and polite and not to say the word "crazy" to me projecting doom and gloom - if you know that feeling. I'm in a battle of denial sometimes .But I find ihard to deny it and shut myself to silence .If you hate doomsday topics ,please avoid reading my posts . You can look at the photo but don't read it :) It does't contribute any good if you feel depressed .I will understand ,no offense . But I do encourage you to be aware of the possibilities .Update yourself ,not just the mainstream news but from the alternative sources ,as many events happening that were not reported or has only very little coverage. Regardless of these doon and gloom events,I am not depressed .I am not sad , I am not scared ,because the true peace of God is keeping me assured. It's so hard to explain it. The truth is I'm awestruck ! I'm part of the generation to see these things and the wonders of God to be seen in these last days as we know it .
As a christian , there's no place of depression in ones life ,that's true for me . If you you are away from faith ,then then can be so scary ! I always trust God for everything . My husband is hopeful thinking to retire someday- living in the Philippines .Most of us have dreams ,it nice to dream on . I don't want to spoil his hopes this time and the future .But I always try my best to make him aware of what is to come . However big the scale is , even when I am gone ( in case I might go ahead of him )he should be prepared and never loose hope ,to trust in Jesus in everything ,even to the last breathe .We bought adjacent plots here in 2004 and 2005, so we could be closely living near the city of Dumaguete, thinking of a future someday after retirement .However ,this seem blurry to me . I always hope I'm wrong with my projections . But I also think we should be prepared mentally and also our emotions as we are seeing the future unfold . It's likely a different kind of scary movie .

Just for correction , am not ill , but you never know of life . I always think what the next day is ,will I still be here nxt day ,nxt week ,nxt month ?
I have seen people go - which gave me some perspective how precious life is , as life is like a bubble . I'm trying my best to have my day less complicated and relaxed as I can make it ,just in case it's my last day.
I have an accident in the past that could have cost my life and don't have any idea it could happen to me .I could have died on the spot . It changed my attitude and perspectives since that . I count everyday as blessing , another day might be different . Not the least to say ,I like to leave the day with a clean heart and conscience with God . I'm not perfect .I do make mistakes though how much I tried not to .But one thing, I don't stay / waddle with the same mistakes over and over again. I always pursue spiritual cleanliness through Christ ,and there is no room of guilt and self condemnation ,a room for secret sin to dwell in me . The love and salvation through Christs is a redeeming grace takes it all , we have to give our burdens to Jesus by simply repenting ,letting it all go and let Jesus' love and peace change our hearts to purity .Without the saving grace of Jesus ,we can't do nothing ,we are still same ol' filthy rags even though how good we think we are .
