Sitting in a corner of Starbucks, a warm cinnamon bun in front of me -- soft, spiraled, dusted with sugar that melts into the air like comfort itself.

I have just taken a small bite of it and just watching it now, letting the moment stretch a little longer than it should. Outside, everything keeps moving, people rushing, cars passing, time doing what it always does.

But here, there’s this pause.

Maybe it’s funny how something as simple as a cinnamon bun can hold space for deep thoughts. Or maybe it’s not about the pastry at all. Maybe it’s just an excuse to sit still and think about everything and nothing at once.

For now, I’ll stay right here... between warmth, silence, and the smell of coffee.

“I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that.” 1 Corinthians 7:7 NIV

Singleness is a gift. Marriage is a gift. Paul writes that both of these statuses are gifts. Don't buy into the cultural belief that you need to be married to be happy. Nor should you view marriage as a ball and chain. If you are dissatisfied with the gift God has given you, then ask God to change your view on your status. Whether you recognize it or not, you are blessed with a gift.

If you’re single, don’t worry. Someday, someone will walk into your life and will build your broken pieces.

I watched #SevenSundays yesterday and I must say, it is really heartrending - it can move anybody to tears... actually 90% of the movie made me cry, but not only it made me wept, it also gave me so much realization about life especially about family. . . . A) We sometimes forget that as we (sons/daughters) are growing older and starting to live our own lives, our parents are being left alone. We sometimes ignore them and would only get the chance to be with them when it’s already too late. Remember, our parents are there when we were growing, this time, let us be with them as they are getting older. Make them happy whilst they are there. . . . B) As a grown-up, it is your job to take responsibility for your emotional well-being. You have complete, total control and power over yoursel, so you are responsible for every area of your life, including feelings of anger, jealousy, hatred, guilt, etc. which you carry with you on a daily basis that could be affecting you and the people around you more than you realize. It’s always best to release those through communication. Never let these negatives things rot your whole being. . . . C) Problems are just problems; family is family. No matter how big your problems are, your family will always be there to lend you their helping hands. They will always understand us despite our shortcomings because they love us. Just put this in mind, famILY ends in ILY meaning “I LOVE YOU.” . . . D) Life is a precious gift, it must be spent with the people who can make it longer. Never waste any time that you can spend with your loved ones. Don’t do things that you might only regret in the end. . . . This movie is a must watch! . . . #StarCinema #family #motivationalquotes #inspirationalquote #inspiration #lifequote #LizQuen #DongYan #PinoyMovie #God #handlettering #lettering #calligraphy #typography #gay (at Antipolo City)

Lord, open my heart up to correction. When I receive fair guidance from another person, I become defensive or embarassed. I hold back from saying anything about my feelings, but later I dwell on that sense of failure rather than on the tools I have been given to do a better job. Let me trust that Your hand is on me and the circumstances so I will be receptive to the lessons You are teaching me. 🌷 . . . . . #handlettering #lifequote #inspiration #inspirationalquote #motivation #motivationalquote #devotion #OneMinutePrayer #integrity #God #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy (at Antipolo City)

I look around me and notice the absence of some things. While some luxuries or opportunities have been excluded from my world out of preference, some have been sacrificed so that I could live a life to better serve You and those I love. I am so thankful that I came to know You and the gift of grace. 🙏🏻❤️ . . . . . #OneMinutePrayer #inspirationalquote #inspiration #motivation #inspirationalquote #handlettering #lifequote #lettering #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #devotion #sacrifice #God (at Antipolo City)

Today I will encounter many opportunities to receive from You. May I be mindful each time Your provision protects me, covers me, and nurtures me.

A Life of Hope Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:12-13 This week, I would love to be a spokesperson for hope. Not in billboard and commercial kinds of ways, but in gentle, subtle ways. Let me translate the hope I receive through faith so others can discern it. Grace me with kind speech and a willing spirit. When I can step away from my selfish concerns and see the needs of others, I will fully embrace the intention of hope. #OneMinutePrayer 🙏🏻 #devotion #hope #God #motivationalquote #inspirationalquotes #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #typography #lettering (at Antipolo City)
