Still thankful to you, 2025! I gained independence with my driver’s license, celebrated my 30th birthday, and honored four years of marriage. It’s been a year of learning and progress. 🌸
Moral of the story: don’t let your circumstances steal your joy. It's easy to think that joy is dependent on our circumstances. That our happiness is tied to our possessions. But the book of Philippians, widely regarded as the happiest book in the Bible, offers a different perspective. Paul, the author of this book, was locked up, but his heart was free. Even from behind bars, his joy shone bright, proving that real happiness comes not from our circumstances, but from the strength of our faith.

For the first time, I was unable to journal my devotion for a month. instead, Iquietly converse with Him in the recesses of my mind. This grieving heart still carries the weight of these unspoken words. but I know that He understands and hears me always. In my sorrow and regret, please forgive me, Lord.

Marami pa akong pangarap at planong family trips natin. Marami pa akong gustong i-share na moments with you and Elle. Kahit sa maikling panahon nakita ko na sobrang minahal mo si Elle ang bunso mong apo, gaya ko na bunso mo rin na talagang nakaramdam ng pagmamahal mula sa’yo.
