It’s not about you

And if I join You in suffering, then I'll join You when You rise. O Christ be magnified in me.

And if I join You in suffering, then I'll join You when You rise. O Christ be magnified in me.
It takes a community to grow as a person.

Remember, sound sleep is expensive.

For me, showing up means persevering and surrendering.

I remember what our Pastor always said when he was still alive. He said, "Huwag mong naisin ang palakpak ng tao dahil iyan ang sasampal sa iyo, naisin mo ang palakpak ng Diyos iyan ang magtataas sa iyo."
Remember beauty is fleeting; vigor and vitality are fading. Tomorrow you will be missing one tooth, you'll have sagging skin, and your perfect posture will be crooked.

I am closing now this chapter with a grateful heart knowing He's with me all along.
We lose heart, in part, because teaching is a daily exercise in vulnerability. And this profession- my purpose breaks me and heals me.

I miss you already even though I haven't met you yet. I know you're someone that only God can give.
Sometimes all you need is just a quiet walk. Allowing yourself to be at peace even in the gray space.
