“You have really hurt me…”

When I heard this line from a show that I just watched, I just realized that I haven't really taken the chance to say this to anyone (at least for the last 2 decades). Why? Because, aside from not wanting to play the blame game, I was too much of a people-pleaser. I did not…

Nakakapagod Maging Mabait.

What is usually given for free tends to be taken for granted. Pero hindi lahat. I've seen how gifts, when handed to grateful and humble hearts, are greatly appreciated and treasured. So, if your kindness has been neglected or abused, it may have hurt (it did) and you may need to be healed (I do),…

The Prodigal Daughter’s Return

"Hindi pala talaga sumusuko si Lord sa pag pursue sa mga naglalayas na tupa."Several years ago, I was fervently praying for a dear relative who had been wandering away from the Lord with all her wounds and hopelessness. Yesterday, in the church, just when I was approaching the stairs to the choirloft, God had a…

Learning to Give Myself in Love

Recently, I came across a post that says, "You can burden me. Our friendship is not fragile." (by Jervy Fermin). That hit so hard. I wish I could say that to other people, too, o kahit man lang sana sa mga kaibigan ko. However, I am currently having a hard time staying kind when I…

Go Easy On Me

Let Me Mourn

What has been restricted for a very long time is now demanding to be released. May pagkakataon pala na ang kailangan ko ay hindi comfort, but the chance to grieve para sa mga kailangan kong ipagluksa. Kahit pala ang mga bahagi ng pagkatao ko na pinatay at pinapatay, kailangan palang ipagluksa. It is only now…

The Gift Is You-Imperfect Yet True

I have watched the 2021 Disney animated movie "Encanto" quite a few times. Yet, I still found myself reflecting on each of the characters, realizing with amazement that each one resonates with me in a particular way. At first, I thought I am somehow (but not exactly) like Mirabel when I see myself as being…

God Takes Forever!

Have you ever gotten frustrated over an unanswered prayer? a slow-progressing career? a seemingly stagnant relationship? your own self-growth and healing? I have. Learning a skill takes some time, we already know that; significantly improving a situation may take longer, that's a given; But growing to be more loving, charitable, patient, understanding, and humble, this…
