My Prayer for You

Almighty and Most Loving Father,

My heart cannot contain this feeling of gratefulness for surrounding me with the most amazing and generous people. I do not know what I did to deserve them but one thing is for sure: I will be forever thankful for the gift of loving and super supportive life buddies and mentors.

I would like to especially thank you Lord for Mam Di. It never crossed my mind that our paths would meet in this lifetime. I only saw her name on various literatures I read before.  I only heard stories about her. Who would have thought that she will be my teacher and adviser? And who would have thought that she will be one of the main reasons why I am here in a place I dreamed of…

Working with her is such a great honor for me. Conversing with her would always inspire me to do well in my chosen career path. She would always remind me to love and love and love my family especially my parents. Every time I drop by her office, I would go out smiling or laughing because she just knows how to lighten things up. I admire her passion for work and her sincere intention to help the students and reach out to co-workers. But most importantly, I just love how she gets excited every time she talks about her family especially her grandchildren and of course her beauty essentials. Her eyes spark like the brightest star in the universe. I just love the way she handles herself and how she gets through each day of her life.

Lord, thank you. Thank you so much for giving IFST a person such as Dr. Erlinda Dizon. Thank you for giving this world a person we can always count on. Lord, continue to bless her. Bless her more so that she can also be a blessing to others. May she be more receptive to the unbounded, limitless, and overflowing abundance of Your love. Fill her heart with joy as she enters a new and exciting chapter of her life.  Give her the strength that she needs to stay gorgeous and ever kikay. Mam Di is not Mam Di without her colored nails, sparkling shoes, and classic dresses. Keep her healthy and motivated to do the things that she longs to do and experience. Bless her family that they may be able to share many beautiful memories together.  May she always remember that she touched a lot of lives, that this world is lucky to have her, and that she will never be forgotten. 

Amen.
