One of them conversations I enjoy

I waited patiently outside the cubicle while she did her thing. 

Ereka: Are you sure you're not peeking?

Je: No, of course not.

Ereka: When I was a small kid I used to play bubbles.

Je: Aren't you still a small kid?

Ereka: No! I'm a big girl! I'm five years old already! 

I smiled at her cuteness. We talked about her dolls, her lola's dolls, her disney princess, my disney princess, her feeble attempt to jump in a kiddie pool, etc.

I did peek cause it's more than 5 minutes already. She must be enjoying the chat and taking her time cause I can see her cute little feet dangling while she sat on the toilet. We went on chatting as she took her time to wash her hands and dry her hands and fix her ponytail. Then it was time to go back to the classroom. :(

I really relish conversations with these little humans. :)

First Date

After Jesus transformed my life, I had my FIRST ever date with my parents both with whom I really didn't have any relationship. I told them about my past and what God did in my life to save me, forgive me and then free me. 


It was a nerve-racking evening, really. To confess everything to your parents? Goodness! Twice I almost backed out. During dinner I was losing it, it was too reality for me. I couldn't confess everything. I was about to excuse myself to go to the bathroom when I noticed my bible in my bag. It was opened on a verse that I highlighted in the past.




"So do not fear, for I am with you..." Isaiah 41:10




I was instantly filled with courage and a strong desire to tell them who is this Jesus that breaks chains and heals lives.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Burgos Circle

During coffee, it was now Papa who was losing it. I was afraid his facial veins would pop out from stress and anger as he listened to me confess my story. I was starting to become discouraged when I noticed the fourth chair in our table. It was empty. Its emptiness speaks volumes. 


I remembered I wasn't alone.

The evening ended with a start. 

♫ ♪ This could be the start

Of something new

It feels so right

To be here with you ..oh

And now ... looking in your eyes

I feel in my heart

The start of something new ♫ ♪ 

Ain't done..

Oh I love it na when God says, " Wait, I'm not yet done."

When things get too tough and I'd run to God, time and again He'd speak to my heart, "Wait, I'm not yet done."

God doesn't remove the circumstances to show you the true conditions of your heart...because He wants to fix you. So when He says He's not yet done (no matter how hard things can get), you'd be sure to believe that He has something good (always) in store for you. May niluluto Sya, ika nga. You can't help but look forward to it. The faith in your heart makes you forget the suffering. Because you're confident na basta in Christ, victory is already waiting in the end of whatever situation you're in. 

Truly we're never put to shame when our hope is in His Name. 

The same way when all seems to be going my way, I run to God and thank Him for all the blessings.  And, really, I'd get blessed, one after the other!!!  It's like it's not stopping.  It's like He's telling me, "Wait, I'm not yet done..."  ♥♥♥
