Growing up in the Philippines we didn’t have much, so we got super excited about the littlest things! One day my parents bought my brother and I two pencils each.  We were over the moon happy! After dinner, we would listen to one of the family members read out of the Bible.  I was trying to hold on to the pencils for dear life and I accidentally dropped them. Frustrated that I dropped my pencils, a family member reached over with one of their slippers and smacked me in the face with it. I was 5 at the time and didn’t know what to doRead More →

Sometimes in these episodes, I forget that I am His…that no matter what, He is always with me. I may not understand why things are the way they are but He sees everything. He knows what’s going on. He is always where I am and I can’t go anywhere where His presence is not around or with me. That is how much He loves me! As far as fighting well, we just need to STAND. He is fighting for us! He has the Victory!Read More →

A couple weeks ago, the Obgyn put me on bed rest. Not FUN at all because my bed rest started very early this time and I have 10 more weeks to go. I am praying that baby Zachary will cook for as long as possible! With God all things are possible!
