Pain is Real

-
Pain is real and to live is to be in pain. (Yes totoo ito. Lahat tayo may kanya kanyang pain, bawat pain natin dun tayo natututo maging matapang)

Jesus Christ's glory is in living a life of pain and overcoming it.

To experience joy is to acknowledge pain and overcome it.

We are all called to discover and overcome the pain we have in our life.

Remember this cycle: discover our pain = acknowledge our joy = learn to deal with it and be victorious

Accordingto the movie, The Fault in the Stars, "Without pain, we couldn't know joy"

Our mission as Christian is not just to be victorious over our personal pain, we shouls also share our pain to help others overcome their pain victoriously.

Common sources of pain:
*The pain we are born with
*being born poor
*being raised in a broken and troubled family
*feeling ugly or not good enough in anything
*things that people do that couses pain

The things that we do are the consequences of our bad choices and decisions we make.

How to deal with pain?

1. Know that the pain is real and that we need to deal with it.
2. Decide to be victorious over the pain:
-Let go- do not hold on or hang on or nurture the pain
*decide to heal, to forgive, and to forget the pain inflicted on us by people.
-decide to let go of the fear over circumstances and situations over which we have no control = trust that God is in control
3. Trust that God did not allow us to go through the pain to punish or put a burden on us, but to help us learn and grow.
4. Realize that the pain we go through can be sweet pain for us if we just trust God who is in control.
5. That through all the pain we go through may be used in service.

But . . .

How do we deal with others?

Be blessed and live with happiness and joy!

Dreams Do Come True ✨

As I sit down to write this blog, I cannot help but get emotional thinking about my journey to where I am today. For years, I struggled with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can make it difficult for women to conceive and disrupt their menstrual cycle. The fear of never having children weighed heavy on my heart, but I always clung onto the hope that someday, my dream of becoming a mother would come true. But it did not end there. I had another dream, which was to have a responsible and loving husband who would understand and support me through thick and thin. While it may seem like an easy feat, I had been through my fair share of relationships that did not work out. All I can say is that I am forever grateful to God for making my dreams come true. All those years of waiting, praying, and hoping were worth it now as I gaze upon the most precious gift I have ever received. I want to encourage anyone reading this, especially those who may be facing similar chall

Mother’s Day 🤍

  Being a mother is a unique journey filled with laughter, challenges, and immense love.  Reflecting on my own experiences, I have grown to appreciate the resilience of mothers everywhere.  One of the biggest hardships I have faced as a mother is balancing my responsibilities. Striving to be the best mother, wife, and professional can sometimes feel like an impossible task. There have been days when I felt overwhelmed, unsure if I could manage everything life was throwing at me. In those moments, I found peace in the support of my family and friends, who helped me realize that I didn't have to go through this journey alone. Another challenge I encountered was learning to put my daughter’s needs above my own. As a mother, it is important to prioritize the well-being of our child, even when it requires sacrifice. I remember the sleepless nights when I stayed awake, tending to my baby’s needs, and the countless times I chose to pursue my dreams later to ensure that I witness every mil
