Many people are harmed by their own words. When you speak the Word of God, you invite God into your situation. However, when you speak negative, doubtful, or unbelieving words, you open the door for the devil to disturb you and create more problems in your life.

APOSTLE RENATO D. CARILLO

 "No trial will come to us that we cannot handle. If we find it difficult, He will give us the strength and be with us to ensure our victory because of His presence. Instead of running away, confront it in the Spirit, and bring it to prayer and fasting."

- Apostle Renato D. Carillo

APOSTLE RENATO D. CARILLO

 We must keep our hearts and minds focused on God's promises, regardless of our circumstances, what is happening in the world, how we feel, or the lies of the devil and the opinions of others.

I KNOW

 I know it doesn’t feel like it now, but things really do have a way of working themselves out—just not always on the schedule we hoped for. ✨

There are days when everything feels too heavy, when nothing clicks, and even the smallest tasks feel like climbing a hill barefoot. I’ve had mornings where I sat in silence, wondering if the fog would ever lift. But even in those moments, somewhere deep down, I’ve carried this quiet belief that life doesn’t just stay broken. It bends, it shifts, it stumbles—but somehow, it keeps moving forward.

I’ve learned that healing isn’t a switch you flip. It’s slow, uneven, sometimes messy. It looks like late-night talks with someone who gets it, like the relief of small victories—folding the laundry, returning a text, stepping outside when you’d rather hide. And even when it’s not okay yet, even when you still feel lost, that doesn’t mean you’re not on your way. The truth is, you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. 

You just need to keep going, gently, honestly. Eventually, maybe not today, but eventually, things begin to feel a little lighter. And that matters more than it seems.

— Bloom, Writer’s Blossoms

I HOPE

 I hope you find some relief from the things you keep to yourself—the worries you push down just to get through the day. 

Maybe it’s something you don’t even have words for yet, just a heaviness that shows up when no one’s around. You go to work, take care of things, laugh when it’s expected, and somehow still carry all that weight like it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing. And I hope, even if it’s little by little, you start to feel lighter. Not because everything is suddenly fixed, but because you’ve given yourself permission to rest, to feel, to not be okay all the time.

I hope you keep going, even when no one claps for it. Because showing up for your own life—when it’s messy or quiet or exhausting—is still a win. Maybe it’s replying to a message you almost ignored, or getting out of bed when you’d rather stay under the covers. Maybe it’s making it through dinner with a fake smile, and that’s all you had to give. It counts. All of it. 

And I hope you know that even if no one sees the effort, even if no one says it out loud, what you’re doing matters. You matter. More than you probably let yourself believe.

— Bloom, Writer’s Blossoms

THATS HOW YOU BECOME SUCCESFUL

 Don’t ever forget that you can:

- start something at 23

- fail at it a year later 

- feel lost at 28

- start something again at 30

- feel you’re on top of the world

- lose everything the next day

- choose the wrong path 

- feel you’re different from others 

- start again at 35 or at 40 or maybe 50

And still succeed.

Because your path is made different. 

It’s not for you to compare. 

Walk on your own path. 

Fall. 

Rise. 

You’re not late, for as long as you keep trying. 

That’s how you can become successful.

DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO ANGER

And you, fathers, 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” - 𝑬𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔 6:1-4

1. Obey your parents for to disobey your parents is to disobey God.

- Do not talk back, argue, or disobey them, especially when their advice is godly, good, and appropriate

2. Honor your parents for to honor your parents is to honor God, who gave them to you.

- Honoring your father and mother means respecting, loving, obeying, and serving them.

𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐍:

1. Do Not Provoke Your Children to Anger or Rebellion

- Avoid being overly strict, cruel, or failing to appreciate your children’s efforts.

- Constant negativity or criticism can make them feel as though they can do nothing right.

If your children fail, guide them with teaching and gentle reminders. Offer advice without shouting or anger, avoiding negative speech.

You are not called to accuse, condemn, or lead your children to despair. Instead, teach them with calmness, peace, wisdom, patience, love, and much prayer.

When you feel angry, take time to go to your room, control your emotions, kneel down, and pray. Ask God for guidance and strength to speak to them peacefully.

CARLOS YULO

 LALA ENRIQUEZ: Although our circumstances are not exactly the same, I understand what he is going through 💔I have never shared it on social media but my siblings and I were abused as children. We were forced to witness and experience things a child should never have. I only had full understanding of all the things we’ve been through at age 25 and I’m still processing it even now. 

Despite asking for help years and years ago, all that I’ve heard from others are what people are saying here in the comments section, even using the bible (and religion) to protect the abuser (honor thy parents etc..). 

Carlos’ point is not the amount of money that was lost, but the broken trust. It is the principle he is fighting for. In the first place, it was his mom who went on an interview to air out their family issues. 

It is not in our place to talk about this but MANY Filipinos can relate because too often, children are used as an investment and abused emotionally (and financially). 

If you love and respect your child (and treat them as an individual), they will go to the ends of the Earth to do everything they can to make you happy. 

The cycle of abuse ends with our generation...

CARLOS YULO: Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo posted a video on Tiktok regarding issues about his mother, Angelica Poquiz Yulo.

"Ang message ko po sa inyo Ma, na mag-heal kayo, mag-move on, napatawad ko na kayo a long time ago," Yulo said in the video.

"Itigil na po natin 'to at i-celebrate na lang po natin ang mga ginawang paghihirap, pagsasakripisyo ng bawat atletang Pilipino dito sa Olympics," he added.

KC CONCEPCION

 KC: YES, I UNFOLLOWED KIKO, KAKIE...I JUST WANT MYSELF TO BE HAPPY

Inamin ni KC Concepcion na in-unfollow niya ang stepfather na si Kiko Pangilinan at kapatid na si Frankie Pangilinan sa social media.

Hindi ni idinetalye ni KC kung bakit niya ginawa ito bagaman sinabi niya na mananatili ang pagmamahal niya sa dalawa.

“Yes, I unfollowed on social media platform—but I will not unfollow the lessons I have learned growing up into the woman I am today," giit ni KC.

“I unfollowed, but I will never unlove. Family is family. Naniniwala naman po ako na we have enough love to overcome this. I have faith na somehow God will bring us all to a happy place, one day," dagdag niya.

Gayunman, sinabi ni KC na natutuhan na niyang ilugar ang kanyang sarili sa buhay ng ibang tao.

At panahon na, dagdag niya, na unahin ang sariling kaligayahan.

“I realize po na life is so short, sayang po kung aksayahin natin ang time with negativity. I just want the family to be happy, and also myself to be happy," aniya.

Nagpapasalamat naman ang aktres sa pagmamahal at pag-aalaga ni Kiko.

“I am forever grateful to have experienced the love of a father through the experience of having a stepfather since I was 12 years old.

I’m sure hindi din po perfect ang journey niya, but I know he’s trying his best,” ani KC.

Idinagdag niya naging mabuti siyang anak.

“I would like to believe na naging mabuting anak din po ako. Ako po ay hindi perpekto pero nagmamahal po ako nang totoo," ayon sa panganay ni Sharon Cuneta.

KATHRYN BERNARDO

 “It’s not like I was masking everything I was feeling,” she continues. “But it was very personal, and I didn’t want people to see me as a victim or to feel bad for me because it happened.”

And forgiveness? “I don’t know,” she takes a long breath. “Ang lalim kasi ng word na forgiveness. For me, you can forgive people who deserve it. But when I forgive you, it doesn’t mean that I have to keep you in my life. I forgive you for my peace of mind, for clarity, and for everything. But it doesn’t mean na puwede kang bumalik. It depends. I’ll just keep my distance; you keep your distance. We’re okay like that. I mean, kunwari, I got hurt, why would I allow you to come back? It depends. It’s a case-to-case basis.

“First, I’ve never imagined myself being in this situation, and then, overcoming it. Depende. But distance is my way of protecting my peace.” — Kathryn Bernardo

THANK YOU, PASTORS

 THE PRICE OF BEING A PASTOR

Being a Pastor is listed among the four most difficult professions in the United States

because a Pastor must be:

•Preacher

•Example

•Father

•Husband

•Counselor

•Conference caller

•Planner

•Minister

•Visionary

•Director

•Mentor

•Friend

•Reconciliator 

•Marriage counselor

•Youth Counselor

•Leader's trainer

•Bible teacher

•Intercessor etc etc

Besides being:

•Keeper of the temple

•Cleaning staff

Every Pastor constantly confronts many different things, such as: 

The Pastor doesn't visit me

Sermon was too long.

The music was too loud.

The building is too cold.

Etc....

  One of the most difficult things in the life of a Pastor is to know that at some point the people they love will abandon or even betray them.

The Pastor is often the loneliest person in the congregation.

You may see a Pastor be surrounded by people, but very rarely people who are interested in their problems, needs or even in their lives.

If you have a Pastor as a friend take care of them, pray for them, connect with vision that God gave them, support them, but above all love them. Remember they are human and in the same way they go through the same needs as you.

Even if you don’t believe it, many of them have sacrificed comforts, rest, personal plans and so many things including some of their own family’s needs to attend God’s call.

Value the time a Pastor puts into work, the prayers he makes for everyone, the burden he voluntarily carries for ministry. You don't know how much he'd appreciate knowing you do.

Jeremiah 3:15 

And I will give you shepherds according to my own heart, who shall lead them with knowledge and understanding.

... For all pastors 🙏

Thank you for all that you do!

HAPPY BDAY 2025 MAMA ELSA KO

 thank you for working tirelessly for the works of God. for smiling sincerely when us, your children need strength to carry on. thank you for everything that you do to hold our home together. to my mom—thank you for loving like Jesus.💛 Happy Birthday, Mama ko ❤️

LDR IN CHRISTIAN COUPLE

 In Christian long-distance relationships (LDRs), couples prioritize God's principles of love, trust, and communication. They cultivate a strong spiritual foundation through prayer, shared scripture reading, and encouraging each other's faith. Technology is used to maintain connection, and regular virtual dates and phone calls help bridge the geographical gap. 

Key Elements of a Successful Christian LDR:

• Faith as the Foundation:

  Remember that God's love is the foundation of any healthy relationship, especially in an LDR where distance can test trust and commitment. 
• Prioritize Communication:

  Regular, honest, and consistent communication is crucial, ensuring both partners feel heard and understood, even over distance. 
• Spiritual Connection:

  Share prayer, scripture reading, and devotionals together, deepening your spiritual bond and seeking guidance from God. 
• Emotional Intimacy:

  Share your struggles, joys, and dreams with each other, fostering a sense of closeness despite the distance. 
• Trust and Honesty:

  Building and maintaining trust is essential for navigating the challenges of an LDR, requiring honesty and open communication. 
• Virtual Dates and Technology:

  Utilize technology (video calls, virtual dates, etc.) to create meaningful connection and intimacy. 
• Plan Visits:

  Make plans to see each other in person as often as possible, whether monthly or quarterly, to maintain a physical connection. 
• Pray for Each Other:

  Regularly pray for each other's well-being, spiritual growth, and the health of the relationship. 
• Focus on God's Plan:

  Trust that God has a plan for the relationship and seek His guidance in navigating the challenges of an LDR. 
• Set Boundaries:

  Establish healthy boundaries to protect both partners' well-being and ensure the relationship remains healthy. 
• Seek Wise Counsel:

  Don't hesitate to seek guidance from trusted friends, mentors, or counselors for support and encouragement. 

Additional Considerations:

• Manage Expectations:

  Be realistic about the challenges of an LDR and set clear expectations for the future of the relationship.
• Address Conflicts Quickly:

  Avoid allowing misunderstandings to fester. Address conflicts promptly and with grace.
• Practice Patience:

  Recognize that an LDR requires patience and understanding, both from the couple and those around them. 

LABAN LANG

 Accurate. I realize na minsan talaga kahit anong klaseng libang mo sa sarili mo, if you're not feeling okay parang no sense din. Magreresurface pa din sayo yung totoong nararamdaman mo.

We tend to trick our hearts na "everything is okay". Pero aminin mo sobrang hirap kapag sariling utak mo ang kalaban. The best na pwede mong gawin talaga is to let your emotions flow, kahit mahirap. As long as you're setting yourself free from overthinking.

Kaya fighting lang sa lahat ah.

STAY AT HOME MOM TO A TODDLER

 Being a stay-at-home mom to a toddler means doing everything, all day, every day—and still feeling like you didn’t do enough.

It’s wiping tiny hands, making meals that get thrown on the floor, cleaning the same messes ten times, and navigating meltdowns over the wrong color cup. It’s reading the same book over and over, functioning on reheated coffee, and having zero personal space—not even in the bathroom.

There are no clock-ins, no lunch breaks, no days off.

And most of what we do? It’s invisible.

No one sees the emotional labor, the patience it takes, the constant juggling of everyone’s needs except our own.

It’s easy for the world to take it for granted—because we “don’t work.”

But we do.

We are the glue, the routine, the comfort, the calm in their chaos.

So if you’re a stay-at-home mom deep in the toddler trenches, I see you.

You are doing the hardest, most important job—one that doesn’t come with a paycheck or praise, but is building the foundation of someone’s whole world.

You matter. Your work matters. Even on the days when it feels like no one notices.
