Rafael At First Sight

        I still couldn’t believe that God has allowed me to be a bringer of a miracle called life.  I am five months pregnant and yesterday, February 4, 2017, I saw my precious little one for the first time through an ultrasound.       My husband and I went to the clinic early in the morning to have my lab tests done. We also had our scheduled routine ultrasound and the congenital anomaly scan required of every pregnant woman.  We had to wait for three hours for the lab tests to be done, and another thirty to forty five minutes for the doctor (the OB-Sonologist) who would perform the routine ultrasound.  While waiting, there are a lot of things that are going through my mind like, what would my baby be, will he be a boy, or will she be a girl?  Is he/she going to be too small or too big for his age, which is about 20 weeks now,  and a lot of things more.  Finally, my name was called, and the first thing that came into...

It's Been A While

     It’s been four years since I last wrote here.  In those four years, a lot of things have happened in my life.  Things that I would say are life-changing which includes, meeting a man, getting engaged, tying the knot, and finally now , expecting our first baby. I still couldn’t believe how blessed I am to have experience all of these in a span of four years.  Others would say it’s a long wait, but for me, everything is just in its perfect time.  All fell into place.  I am amazed how God has blessed me with all these important events in my life I never imagined will ever happen.       I remember how I used to get so lonely and how I felt so alone before.  I remember how I used to think that settling to be alone and just be single forever was really my fate.  I hated every man that came into my life.  Well not that I really hated them but I always looked for the perfect one but no one was good enough.  ...

Family First, No. 2 Priority?

" Great crowds accompanied Jesus on his way and he turned and spoke to them. ‘If any man comes to me without hating his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple. Anyone who does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple".   - Luke 14: 25-33       He started by asking us if we love our families.  Of course, everyone answered with a big yes.  For most of the times, our families comes first, hence, the saying "family first".  But the gospel today seem to conflict with the beliefs and the culture, especially we, Filipinos, got used to.  This time, it seemed that Jesus wanted us to "hate" our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, and our own lives too.  How can that be?  How can I serve him better if my heart will be filled with hate?        As for me, my family is the most important thing in my life now.  I can't tell exactly if...

Thank you God for today!

Worrier No More

     I know I am sometimes stubborn that I tend to be choosy and demanding when it comes to the people that God brings into my life.  More often than not, I would ask God, why them? why him? and as for people I like to be part of my life but that seem to be not coming in, I would still ask, why not?      I kept thinking why I am still not in a relationship at this time.  It's been so many years now since I have someone special in my life.  It's been so long that I have tried to recover from the pains I have experienced because I decided to love. But, have I not really moved on from the dark memories of my past relationships?  Is there really no one good enough for me after my ex?  I seem to have a lot of questions and I don't have the ready answer.  I know, it's not as easy as if I will wake up one morning and some objects from the heavens will just suddenly drop and voila! the answers to my questions are there already. ...

For All, But Not Automatic

  I am back to blogging my Sunday mass experience, and I am happy about it.  I really can't wait to share the message I got in today's homily.  By the way, Father Vincent is back, he is my favorite priest so far.  I remembered attending masses before and I really couldn't bear to understand his homilies because his accent was different. (He is Indian)  But now, he is my favorite. It's as if I got used to it already and I always look forward to hearing his homily because there would always be a phrase or a verse that would strike me.           In today's gospel, Jesus said:   “So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.”   -Matthew 20:16         It made me think where do we really stand in the kingdom of God.  Truly, most of us want to always stay at the backseat because we are too afraid or too shy, we become so nervous that we will be put on the spot i...

A Letter From God

           I often find it difficult to write in behalf of others, what more to write in behalf of God? I didn't know how to start an activity which I thought at first was a mockery of God speaking to me.  How in the world will I be able to write what God has to say?  Again, I closed my eyes, think of my God, and in the silence of my heart, began speaking to Him.  I didn't know what was inside me (maybe it was the Holy Spirit) telling me that I should begin holding my pen and start writing... Dearest Purple,        My precious daughter, it is no accident that you are here today spending the weekend with Me and my other chosen children.  The moment that you were conceived, I have already planned for this.  Even in the darkest moments of your life which you think I allowed to happen, these are planned.  I have made those trials because I want you to come to Me with your energy drained, when you are...
