Today is my sister-in-law’s birthday! She was the one who gave birth to Daniella Grace. She is also pretty just like Daniella and me   . I am blessed to have her as my sister-in-law. She is kind, simple and sometimes when she talks, she’s like my mom . A simple, natural born comedienne.She is always willing to help others especially our family and hers. It seems that she looks more like my mom than my brother. My brother loves her so much. I pray that she will get well soon after giving birth. I believe that she will turn out to be a very kind, sweet and loving mother now that they already have 2 kids and husband. Congratulations and Happy Birthday! I pray tto God that the peace and joy will always be in their family.

FEAR NOT, STAND STRONG, MOVE ON

Do not be afraid. Stand firm….Be still…. Move on (Exodus 14:13?15).

1. “Do not be afraid.” . Don’t be afraid of fear. (2Timothy 1:7  For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. )It reminds us we are alive, human. The same channel of our emotions through which fear flows can be the riverbed for trust and loving obe­dience. Fear is the opposite of faith. When we surrender our fear by telling God how we feel, we allow faith to force out fear.

2. “Stand firm.” Do not let the circumstances in your life affect you in a way that you will give up on life. Stand your ground. Don’t give in to your fear and run away. You have to face your fear. Stop for a while, calm down, and then see the fear from God’s perspective.

3. “Be still.” Don’t panic thinking that you will not be able to overcome your problems. The effect of panic is that we tend to override God’s direc­tion, God’s peace, and God’s presence in our lives. We can listen to the voice of God quietly.

4. “Move on.” We should face our problems and be able to overcome them. When we fail to move on, we procrastinate, and procrastina­tion is not God’s plan for us. Procrastination is fear that has forgotten the promises of God. It is our effort to make life stand still for a while when God has clearly instructed us to keep moving. Don’t be a stagnant Christian. Don’t allow fear to control you. Don’t be afraid to come closer to God.

Take a few minutes to reflect on this. But be sure you “move on.”

Teach me to love, just like a child.
Remind me every day to smile.
To trust you as I take each step.
Erase old wounds and past regrets.
Teach me to swallow pride and greed,
and trust you’ll supply all of my needs.
Show me how to schedule my day.
To learn from You and to always pray.
Let me hunger for spiritual growth.
Not gossip or words to speak in boast.
Teach me forgiveness when I am offended.
Responding in love…all hate will be ended.
For mercy and grace are gifts we receive.
If we only open our hearts and believe.
Childlike faith will grow and become…
A reflection of Jesus, my Savior, God’s son.

Today is my niece’s birthday! We used to call her Pinch because her feature is a combination of Chinese and Filipino.  I can say that she is a daddy’s girl. When she was a baby she was so cute, now she’s a blooming teenager. She is also one sweet girl, even though before she had her mood swings . I do hope this time she has already matured because I can see in their pictures that she looks closer to her ate dannish now and her other siblings. I pray that God will bless her even more and become a better person. Don’t ever forget us, Nizsa! We love you and we miss you!

Hello Daniella Grace! She is the newest baby girl in our family. The son of my brother Noel and Sister-in-law Grace. I am so happy that they named her Daniella Grace. I am so happy to say that I suggested the name DANIELLA . I’m really really happy . Daniella for me stands for the name of the three girls in the family Da- for Dannish, Ni- for Nizsa,they are my nieces and Ella for Micaella, my daughter. But I’m sure Niel- also stands for Miniel of course, the eldest of Noel and Grace. Her name became even nicer because they added the name of her mom Grace. By the grace of God this baby of ours will grow up to become a very nice girl, kind, loving and most especially God fearing. When I first saw her picture I remember how Miniel looked like when he was a baby, they looked really the same. So cute. I wonder when will i see her. I do hope to see her soon…We love you Daniella Grace!

Yesterday was Matthew’s birthday, my nephew. Matthew is my kuya and manang’s only son. He is a smart boy and a very sweet one. He’s a real kuya to his younger cousins. He loves strolling with the rest of the family. When he was younger, he really likes playing gameboy and some other related games. I wonder if he already have wii. Every mother’s day Matthew gives us flowers, his aunts, lolas and mom. Which makes him really sweet.He’s always one of the top in the class which makes him a real good example to my kids.

Now he’s a year older and i’m happy that he is growing up with his parents and most of the relatives of manang. He is blessed to be with his parents. I’m proud of you Matthew! I hope to see you in the future…we miss you so much and we’re looking forward to be together again for some strolling. God bless you in Jesus name.

Yesterday, March 3 was my eldest niece’s birthday. I remember when we were together in Cavite she showed her love to my kids. I easily get mad at her then, everytime I teach her with her assignments and lessons. I was so rude to her then. I feel sorry for that. But that doesn’t mean that i don’t love her. I love her like she is my own. She cared for my eldest Micaella. After I gave birth to Micaella, she would ask the visitors or write on the wall, “Wipe your hands with alohol before you enter!”. She was so protective of Micaella. She was the one who taught Micaella so many things like counting, how to sing abc and many others. I really miss her. I just hope that she will only remember the nice things we shared together. We love you ate Dannish. We miss you very much. Always remember that GOD loves you,HE loves us all…continue your faith in Him. God bless you in Jesus Name. You’re so beautiful in your pics

Galatian 6:9  “But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not faint.”

Let us not let the work of the enemy prevail. Do not give up in doing good for your fellowmen and for God. Do not get tired of helping other people. Do not get tired of working for the Lord. Do not get tired of serving Him. God has His perfect timing in everything. Whenever you feel that you cannot bear your problems any longer, just cast them all to the Lord. Surely, He will not let you fall if you believe and have faith in Him. God bless you in  All Jesus Mighty Name.
