My Quarantine Birthday 💗

Thank God for another year!💗


This year has been a very challenging year to me, to us. A lot of things happened and is still happening (actually) that really makes me feel anxious. Anxious about many things, my family's health, our safety, our future. I know you feel the same way too.

But then again, everything happens for a reason. God allows it so what we can do is to rely on Him, put our full hope and trust in God.

So even if my birthday was not the grandest, not the way I wanted to celebrate it, still, I want to thank God for giving me this day. Another year to be hopeful, another year to start anew!

God made me realized that the best presents are not the material things, but the gifts that comes from Him.

I am thanking God for my gifts:


Gift of Life

Life comes from God. My existence will not be possible without my Creator. 

And yes! I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you God!


Gift of Family

-> My husband Jez who's always there for me. My greatest fan & supporter who loves me and Brielle more than himself. Thank you daddy for always there, for taking care of me and Brielle. We love you to the moon and back too! #toJezfinityandBelleyond

-> My Baby Brielle - Mommy and Daddy's greatest gift! Our source of inspiration, strength and joy (aside from God). 

-> My Mama & Papa, Ate's & Gab who's virtually always there! I know I am always in their hearts & prayers too!

-> My In-Laws - for the continuous support & love to our small family.

-> Extended Family / Relatives - every one of you whom I know cares & loves not just me but my entire family. 



Gift of Friends

-> Closest Friends - you know who you are! Virtual encouragements & chickahan is always there. Looking forward to our next eye to eye, heart to heart talks and kulitan moments! Real soon, please!

-> Friends, Classmates, Churchmates, Facebook Friends & Acquaintances - For all your prayers, simple "hi" & "hello" & encouraging social media posts. Keep it up!



Gift of Work

-> I am very thankful to God that even with this pandemic, I still have work. Many of us lost a job or still under no work no pay. I am praying that God will continue to bless & guide our company, our employers big time so they can help more people out there! (Of course, praying also for all the companies that were greatly affected by this pandemic. I pray that in God's perfect time, we will all enjoy a COVID-Free world and every business will be back to normal. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen!)



Gift of Salvation

-> Of course, I cannot forget this greatest gift of mine. The gift of salvation. I know that I am secure, that God is holding me. Nothing to worry because I have Jesus in my heart. 

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


Here's one song that popped in my mind as soon as I woke up. It's only by God's grace that I am still standing! It's because of His goodness, His grace, His kindness, His mercy, His love (unconditional & unending), His favor! I love you God!


PS:

Thank you for all your birthday wishes! God bless us all!

When to say these words?

How often do you say thank you? What are the things or happenings in your life that you say thank you in return? To whom do you utter these precious words? Thank you seems an easy thing to say. We hear it from time to time and wherever we go (grocery, bookstore, office, school, etc.) people say this. It's actually a common phrase. Thank you for coming, for calling, for listening, for joining, for taking care of, for choosing, and many more. There are lots of reasons to say thank you. Even with kiddie videos, there are songs, teaching the kids to say thank you. "Thank you is what you say when someone does something nice for you today." - Eli Kids   "When you get something you want, what's the magic word? Hmmmm. Thank you, thank you, thank you." - Coco Melon (If you are a mom or certified Tita/Tito's of Manila, for sure you sing these songs while reading! Haha!) Actually, the reason why I am sharing this topic is because of the K-drama I  have ...

Are you weak?

Yes, there will always be a point in your life that you will feel weak and sometimes this weakness may lead to hopelessness. Being weak is not just in terms of our physical strength but also on what we are feeling inside (emotions, spiritual, relationships). Weakness occurs whenever any of problem, suffering, disease, worry, anxiety, fear and sorrow is encountered. Most people always find “weakness” as a negative word. Well, definitely it is. But having God in your life, believing that everything that is happening in your life has a purpose and that He is in control, you can confidently say that Weakness can be a Blessing too! During my younger days, I often hear my church-mates (Testimony time in our Youth fellowship) giving thanks to God, not just for all the blessings, provisions they are receiving but as well as to all the trials & sufferings they are encountering. I keep telling myself, "How come? How can they thank God, even in time of trials?” But as time goes by, G...

What is Missing?

Prayer is an essential thing to people who believes in Jesus. It is our 24/7 connection with the Lord. Many refer prayer as our lifeline to heaven. We pray because we want to talk to God. During our childhood days, we often pray to ask God for something. For teens/youth, it's like talking to their best friend, telling God, everything they encountered and even praying for the so-called "the one" 😉. We pray to thank God for all the blessings we are receiving. But often times we pray to ask. We pray for our needs. We pray to ask guidance for all the decisions we need to make. We pray for good health and His protection.  Many of us wonder why our longstanding prayers seem "unanswered" that makes us think God is not hearing us. Sometimes there will come a point that we tend to stop praying for it, either you accept that you get a "NO" from God or you gets tired of praying. Questions keep running our head, bothers us, faith is being shaken that we often jum...
