MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU

 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Psalm 34:18

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed. 

If we were perfect or had no troubles, we would not feel the need to seek the Lord.  I feel closer to The Lord when things are not going well because I can feel his presence and see him in action sorting out the things that take my peace away.  

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of my favorite verses.

Even when we are ill, The Lord is also in charge.  I love when I see The Lord in action.   See, he has the last word, not men, not the enemy and not the circumstances.  Miracles are activated by faith and when we turn in our troubles, weaknesses and everything else in his hands, he will take care of it at the perfect time.

Ecclesiastes 8:6

For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble lies heavy on him.

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Luke 18:27

But he said, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

Amen!  Praise the Lord!

DEAREST NESTOR

 Laging sinasabi sa amin ni Mama: “Ngumiti kayo sa inyong Ama kapag umuwi siya sa bahay dahil ang mundo sa labas ay malupit at nakakapagod para sa mga ama.”

Ano ang pagkakaiba ng ina at ama?

 • Ang ina ay nagdadala sa’yo sa kanyang sinapupunan nang 9 na buwan.

 • Ang ama ay nagdadala sa’yo sa buong buhay niya (kahit hindi mo napapansin).

 • Ang ina ay tinitiyak na hindi ka nagugutom.

 • Ang ama ay tinuturuan ka kung paano hindi magutom (ngunit hindi mo agad naintindihan).

 • Ang ina ay inaalagaan ka sa kanyang dibdib.

 • Ang ama ay kinakarga ka sa kanyang likod (ngunit hindi mo nakikita).

Ang pagmamahal ng ina ay nalalaman mo mula sa iyong kapanganakan.

Ang pagmamahal ng ama ay nauunawaan mo kapag naging ama ka na rin (kaya’t maghintay ka nang may pagtitiis).

Ang ina ay walang katumbas na halaga.

Ang ama ay hindi mapapalitan ng panahon.

YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU BECAME A MOTHER

 "Spending your energy giving someone else wings only for them to learn to fly off on their own — that is motherhood." 🦋

What a privilege it's been to walk this journey of motherhood. They say you don't understand what it's like until you become a mama yourself. I understand now. 

And I'm abundantly grateful.

DEAREST NEYA

 ‘I want my daughter to know⁣

that no one’s worth chasing.⁣

Because if a parent, grandparent, sibling, cousin, love interest, or friend⁣ wanted to see her, they would.⁣

 ⁣

They didn't make the effort?⁣

They chose not to include her?⁣

I’ll tell her to match their energy,⁣

because she doesn't need to prove her worth to anyone.⁣

 ⁣

I don't want her to chase her way⁣

into a relationship that doesn't work.⁣

 ⁣

Because when she stops trying with these people,⁣

the relationship will be over⁣

and she’d waste her time, effort, and love.⁣

 ⁣

I hope she's confident enough⁣

to never let her happiness depend on anyone⁣

and to know how much she has to offer.⁣

 ⁣

So, the only thing I want her to chase⁣

is her dreams.

 ⁣

Because the right people 

who belong in her life will stay,⁣

just for being herself.’

ONE STEP AT A TIME IS STILL A PROGRESS

 To those who cry themselves to sleep at night, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of everything you have to carry—your responsibilities, your worries, the uncertainty of your own emotions—I see you. 

You wake up every day, exhausted before it even begins, and yet you push through. Whether it’s work, family, or just trying to hold yourself together, the routine never stops. And even though you feel like you’re breaking inside, you still show up, doing what needs to be done, because you have no other choice. It’s not easy, and sometimes it feels like you’re barely making it. Cry your pains and breathe, at least you deserve that.

I know life doesn’t slow down just because you’re struggling. The bills still come, the deadlines still loom, and the expectations keep piling up. It’s hard when the weight of everything feels like it’s crushing you, and no one seems to notice. But believe me, you’re not alone in feeling this way. Many of us are out here, just like you, pushing through the unknown, battling invisible struggles. It’s okay to feel lost sometimes—what matters is that you’re still here, facing each day, even when it feels impossible. One step at a time is still progress, and that’s something to hold onto.

A WOMAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

 A Woman after God’s Heart ♥️

Let us rephrase “Babae ka, Hindi Babae Lang” to “You are a precious woman of God”. In this world, there are different misconceptions of being a woman but doesn’t understand what it really takes, maybe because people, our world has already set expectations what a woman should be such as “kapag babae ka, kailangan mong mag-asawa.. mag-alaga ng mga anak.. sa bahay lang at hindi na magta-trabaho” etc..

I’ve been always praying “Lord, Gusto ko pong malaman kung ano po ba talaga ‘yung true definition of a Godly woman”; Then amazingly, He revealed so much things when I read about the Proverbs 31 in the bible — In this chapter, King Lemuel wrote about her mother who has the fear in the Lord. It shows the picture of an ideal woman, an example of a virtuous wife and a mother who teaches her children to love the Lord.

It really takes a lot of courage, obedience and patience in preparation for all the things we desired for — to become a good friend, daughter, leader, partner, sibling and future wife but Just like a Proverbs 31 woman, may we all be self-less, hardworking, considerate and a pleasing woman who sincerely loves the Lord. A woman who honors God by seeking him in everything she does and trusting him wholeheartedly with her life. We all have flaws and We are not called to be a ‘perfect woman’ but this is an encouragement to always Seek for wisdom, not to tell you to become “more” but to appreciate every moment and celebrate having a heart that is completely in awe of God. 💕
