I PRAY MY DAUGHTER

 I pray my daughter is stronger than me. I pray she doesn’t accept things i’ve accepted. I pray she knows when to fight for something/someone and when to walk away. I pray she never feels abandoned, unloved, and unappreciated. I pray she knows her worth. I pray she knows how special she is even if I’m the only one assuring her. I pray she knows that no matter what she always has me rather it’s physically or spiritually. My precious baby girl, I pray she’s so much better than me.❣️

DO NOT FORCE THEM TO SHARE

Growing up lumaki ako sa perspective na dapat ang bata marunong mag-share, na kapag di sya nag-share madamot sya, na kapag di sya nag-sheshare di naturuan ng magulang. 

Ganyan din ba perspective nyo mga Inay? 

As I read yung book na “No Drama Discipline” by Daniel Siegel, the more I understand yung mga matatagal ko ng “whys” pagdating sa parenting and discipline. May mga “myth” akong nabasag at lalong na-open yung mata ko sa reality ng growth and development ng mga bata. 

We can’t force them to share because their brain is not fully developed yet. Especially sa maliliit na bata, lower part ng brain palang nila ang nagdedevelop. Para mas magets nyo i-short cut ko: 

📍LOWER BRAIN 

✅breathing 

✅anger 

✅fear

✅blinking 

📍UPPER BRAIN 

✅planning 

✅thinking

✅imagining 

So ibig sabihin basic functions lang ang nasa lower brain. Sa upper brain naman andun na yung more sophisticated and complex thinking pati mga emotional and relational skills. 

The upper brain takes time to develop. Research and study shows na by mid 20s fully nadedevelop ang upper part ng brain natin. 

So di pala talaga makatarungan kung papagalitan, papaluin at paparusahan ang bata kapag di sya nag-sheshare. 

Hindi sya madamot, hindi lang kaya pa ng brain nya. 

Hindi ka walang kwentang magulang, hindi palang fully developed ang brain nya. 

Hindi siya spoiled or bad kid, growing lang talaga ang brain nya. 

Now the question is, ganun naman pala, e di wag ng turuan kasi di pa kaya. 

My answer is NO. We will teach them (though modeling) but we will not force them. That’s two different things. 

Ofcourse there are times that they will share, may mga times na hindi, so we need to manage our expectations. 

Itong development ng lower and upper brain din ang dahilan kung bakit laging nag-aaway ang mga maliliit nating mga anak 😂 Adult nga especially mag-asawa madalas pa ding mag-away kahit fully developed na ang brain e. Hehe though ibang usapan yun.  Hehe

Kaya we need a lot of patience and grace and even wisdom talaga as we discern and teach and nurture our kids. Making sure that we are creating an environment where they can grow and mature as we lovingly teach them skills that they will need in this life. 

Sabi nga sa Proverbs 22:6, 

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” 

Still, kahit hindi pa sila developmentally ready, always ready naman tayo to model the characters that we want them to have. Remember, more is caught than taught. We will not force them, but we will try our best to inspire and influence them. ♥️

PARENTING TIPS

Ito yung anak naming lagi kong napagbabantaan 😅😂

You know what I mean mga Inay 😜

“Pag di mo inubos yan di na kita bibigyan next time”

“Pag di ka pa huminto Grace papaluin na kita” 

“No bedtime stories if you won’t cooperate” 

Yung iba satin mahilig pang mandamay ng iba tao 😅 

“Sumbong kita sa pulis!” 

“Sumbong kita kay Pastor!”

“Hala ka andyan na mumu!” 

“Papakakain kita sa monster!” 

Most of the time nakakaubos na talaga ng pasensya. Lalo pag paulit-ulit tapos madami ka ng anak 😂 Ang hirap maging kalmado. Ang default natin laging malaki mata, mataas na boses at mga gestures na talagang namang hindi pleasing sa mata ng mga anak natin. 

Ofcourse we don’t want to just please them, we need to be tough and firm but it doesn’t mean that we can’t do it calmly and nicely. 

Yes! I heard you. Mahirap maging nice kapag matigas talaga ulo 😅 I’ve been there. Sa tatlong anak ko napakadami ko ng learning curves, teaching moments and mga “golden learnings” along the way. 

Here’s what I’ve learned na masasabi kong proven and effective: 

✅Ibahin ang background music sa isip mo. Nakakatawa mang isipin pero most of the time “shark music” or “horror music” yung nasa isip natin. Try nating gawing comic or calm yung isipin nating music. Siguradong mag-iiba tono at delivery natin. 

✅Focus on the way we interact with our kids. Let’s ask ourselves, kung tayo ang nasa sapatos nila, talaga bang mapapasunod tayo or matatakot lang tayo? Mapipilitan nalang na tayo sumunod or buong puso tayong susunod dahil nagets natin “why” we need to obey? 

✅Wag mo punuin ang plate mo. Most of the time if we are too consumed by work and other things, parang nagiging burden or task nalang sa atin ang parenting. We don’t get to enjoy every single moment kasi marami tayong iniisip at marami tayong ginagawa. Para tayong laging nagmamadali kaya wala tayong time to explain thoroughly the “whys” in every command. Basta gusto natin sumunod lang sila. Period. Kaya ending, they obey blindly, without understanding the “why” so ang mangyayari uulit lang ng uulit. Walang learning. Hindi effective ang discipline. 

 ✅Connect first. Grow your relationship with you child and prioritize it above all else (syempre una si hubby/wifey). Alam nyo bang mas sumusunod ang bagets if they feel connected to us? When we engage them in a pleasant and playful way, mas nakikipag-cooperate sila. 

✅The “how” matters. 

“Get in bed now or you won’t get any stories.” 

or 

“If you get in bed now, we’ll have time to read. But if you don’t get in bed right away, we’ll run out of time and have to skip reading stories.”

O diba? Ibang-iba yung feel nung pangalawa. 

Both set a boundary. 

Both deliver the same request. 

But they feel completely different. 

Most of the time andun tayo sa “shortcut” and “instant” e. Kasi we’re thinking na may bukas pa naman or may ibang opportunity pa para magpaliwanag at maging kalmado. 

But no, that’s what “intentional parenting” means. You live with urgency knowing that parenting and everything is momentary. And because we have that mindset, nagiging intentional tayo sa lahat ng bagay. 

Tandaan, the “how” determines what our children feel about us and themselves. Sa ganitong paraan din nila natututunang makitungo sa iba. Pag lagi tayong tunog demanding, nananakot, laging galit or iritado, isang araw ganun din sila makipag-interact at communicate sa iba. 

We can be much more effective disciplinarians if our “how” is respectful, calm and playful. It will make a BIG difference. Worth it syang effortan mga Inay. Promise! 

Again. 

Connect first. 

Explain the “why”. 

Focus on the “how”.

THE SHORTNESS OF LIFE

Isang araw lilingon tayo at iba na. 

Malalaki na mga anak natin. 

Independent na sila. 

Kaya na nilang pumili ng sarili nilang choice at panindigan kung anuman yun. 

Kaya na nilang harapin ang hamon ng mundo. 

Kaya na nilang wala tayo sa tabi nila. 

Kaya na nilang gawin anuman ang maibigan nila. 

Kaya na nilang alagaan at ipagtanggol mga sarili nila. 

Sana pag dumating yung time na lumingon tayo at nagiba na sila, wala tayong regrets. 

Wala tayong “sana pala”. 

Sana fulfilled tayo knowing that we did our very best (kahit hindi tayo perfect). 

Sana mapapangiti tayo at masasabing nasulit natin ang bawat season ng pagiging bata nila at pagiging magulang natin. 

Parenting is momentary. 

Life is short. 

Focus on WHAT truly matters.

WHO IS APOSTLE RENATO D. CARILLO

Apostle Renato D. Carillo, the Man of God from the Philippines, is an end-time Prophet and Apostle ordained by God in our time and generation and was sent to bring salvation to the lost souls; healing to all the sick and afflicted; absolute freedom to those who are bound by evil spirits; prosperity to those who are poor; and Apostolic Revival unto Perfection - LIVING LIKE JESUS to the Church around the world.

His Ministry, Touching The World, The Man of God was born on December 17,1958 in Quezon City, Philippines but his life took on a completely significant meaning when he received Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal Savior on January 12,1986. From that moment of his salvation, his life has been fully dedicated to God.

From fifteen (15) members, it has steadily increased to hundreds, to thousands, and to thousands upon thousands as he preached powerful, straightforward, and uncompromising message of salvation, healing, deliverance, blessing and Apostolic Revival with the manifestation of God's amazing power and glory! Men and women, old and young alike experienced the compelling love and grace of God as he holds ORAS NG HIMALA Miracle After Miracle Explosion and the LIVING LIKE JESUS Conferences in various churches, gymnasiums, open-air auditoriums, houses, restaurants schools, jails, rehabilitation centers, offices and even at the camps of Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He also shared God's love in different occasions such as weddings, birthdays, child dedications house and business dedications, and even funerals. The sick and the afflicted were gloriously healed! The oppressed, abandoned, broken-hearted, hopeless, and bound with sins were changed! And the Church was truly blessed and revived! Sometime in June 1988 while he was praying, he received a specific MANDATE from the Lord. God in His sovereign will and infinite wisdom raised up a Filipino man born from His heart to bring revival unto perfection to the church all over the world. And Jesus said to him: "Son, build Me a true Church. Teach My people to love Me, serve Me, worship Me and obey Me. Teach them to live like Me, and present a perfect Church to Me in My coming.".

Impelled by his fervent love to God and great burden for souls he immediately obeyed God and left his business and extravagant life. With mediocre beginning, he pioneered Jesus Is Our Shield Worldwide Ministries on the street. In his early years of ministry he faced tremendous oppositions, accusations and persecutions but he remained steadfast and faithful to the mandate and God gave him victory against all odds! The impact of his ministry spread throughout the nation and invaded nations! And in just two (3) decades he has successfully established hundreds of chapters nationwide and abroad with millions of LIVING LIKE JESUS congregations! His life has been sacrificially dedicated in training and spiritually equipping thousands of Pastors full-time workers and even the young people and the congregations to reach the whole world for Christ with the demonstration of supernatural gift of God's power and glory.

His teachings have also blessed millions upon millions of lives all over the world through "ORAS NG HIMALA" radio, television, cable television programs, the internet broadcasts the LIVING LIKE JESUS Satellite Network (LSN), and the audio-video recordings wherein God's awesome glory and remarkable signs, wonders, and miracles are taking place. He has authored several life-changing and soul-enriching books, booklets, magazines and pamphlets, translated in different languages. He also has the Anointed Prayer Cloths, wrapped with God's tremendous power through prayer and fasting which brought powerful testimonies of all kinds of miracles. His ministry is also engaged in "MISSION OF LOVE - Love In Action" a crisis relief, feeding and clothing program which reaches out innumerable precious souls living in desperate conditions.

Through the supernatural works of God in the life of the Man of God, countless precious souls have graciously thanked God. Numerous prayer requests from different races were brought to him through long distance calls, text messages, snail mails, and e-mails, and all of God's answers to their prayers have been frequently resounded. As crowd had chased and touched Jesus during His earthly ministry expecting various miracles to happen, the same experience is taking place in the life of the Man of God. People from all walks of life chase after him during every service at the ministry's main church and in every place he visits asking him for prayers and even for blessings and anointing.

Having a father's heart, he has lovingly been a great comforter and counselor for several ministers, church workers, and congregations from various fellowships all over the world and they gladly testified on how their lives were changed as they heard the powerful revelations and experienced the awesome miracles from God.
