Everything about Anything

[kimiediaries]

Here's my reward for feeding on demand, backaches, endless hunger, hairfall, and unlimited thirst. Oh! Also, the daily decisions on what to wear that is boob access. Please do know that if it happens that u visited us by surprise and I did not come to greet you, it is because I am topless at that moment 😂😆

Above all mentioned, I am soo glad that God blessed me with lots of milk to provide nourishment to my child. And by the looks of it, this baby is more than satisfied.

5 star service here!

Dearest mommy,

The best gift you can give to your children is a mom who has a real relationship with God and relies on God. All efforts and sacrifices can be made but all may or may not work if it was based on our own 'best'. When we are relying on God and talk to him daily, He is faithful to take care of our family through us. And when we ask God in prayer to take care of our family, we should be willing to obey in order for it to be done. God could use us if we are willing.

So again, our family has the best when the mommy depends her best in God.

A photo of my first two kids sleeping soundly under a thick sheet of blanket, snuggled together tightly with stuffed toys around. I suddenly remember the days when they were the ones in my tummy. Both are moving too much and when they are out in the world, they are even moving way too much. They are both ball of energy and sunshine that won’t keep this home quiet even for just a minute. And it’s only when bedtime comes when home is still. I thank God for having them. But they are growing too fast. So I now would like to savor the daily noise than one day they will all grow up and leave the house too quiet for me. #kimiediaries #momdiaries #rafadale https://www.instagram.com/p/CoU4ZGrPRTY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At 27 Weeks, I am documenting as much as possible to motivate myself have a healthy pregnancy journey. I have to admit, this is a tough one. I never recall so much difficulty with my first two but I am happy to get a lot of help from people around me. Breakfast is prepared by hubster and ate Dale. Our lumpia is from our dear ate Anne @sueannemazing and finally got my Chia seeds for extra protein. I need to eat more according to my OB. To all mamas out there! You are all doing well ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CoTpJPaPCuK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am not what I expected to be

Hating Self

3:36 am and I hate that I can’t sleep peacefully. My self worth is not seen at the moment. Just one gesture, and everything is left. I am consumed of all the doubts that I have that I wanted to go away and die.

Dearest @ljnoay, This time last year, I was preparing a birthday poster for you because WE thought that your birthday is on the 11th of this month. I also remember that this time last year, I also send emails that I re read 100 or more times just to make sure that I make sense. Hahahhaha How nerve-wracking was it to send a single email to you and the rest of the proof readers. But I just Praise God for how He worked in our friendship. And I'm so glad that I could call you anytime even when you are so busy. You answer my call just to let me know that I should call back at 2:30pm hahahaha Why am I writing this way? And why on SocMed? Birthday mo ba girl? Actually puno na kase storage ko at ubos na english ko girl. Kailangan ko nang e upload toh and ilagay din sa tumblr para maalala ko na nakakain ako ng Taco Bell habang nagsusumbong ako kung gaano ka gulo ang mga araw ko minsan. (balik tayo sa english) The sweetest thing that happened on that day, was we were able to pray for each other. Looking forward to see you soonest! Love, Kim https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXY6TPpIuoWaa9wDp4krvJqY2YFiJKZXbIsfA0/?igshid=um95giec8ma6

Praises be to the God who sustains. March has been packed since March 01, 2021. Global Youth Day 2021 Promotions #GYD21TH Live Updates 8 Days Heart Preparation Global Youth Day: I WILL GO Reach Out Homecoming Sabbath Activities mentioned above ended on March 27, 2021. But reports and testimonies goes on! I am in awe how little and basic skills could upgrade for God's programme. Indeed "Little is much when placed in the Master's hand". There were challenges that happened along the way. Some were overwhelming and some were at the surface. But these challenges are there to test the believers faith. I remember fully how we panicked during the homecoming Sabbath. As the media/tech head, I was trying to figure things out. Our internet was limited, our livestream is not ready. Our zoom meeting was not totally set up. There were problems with some videos. It was a lot that I wanted to cry. But since a lot should be done, crying would take time as well so I brushed off the idea of shedding a tear. Then a dear friend asked, "Have you prayed?" And it was a loud wake up call to me. YES INDEED YOU ARE NOT IN PEACE, you did not pray Kimie! So the whole team prayed and we started the program. During the program, we were zoom bombed. I thought that one prayer was enough. What went wrong? I was so anxious that even the sermon's slide projected "Tragic Night". I whispered Lord, don't make this a tragedy. Then I realized, I was too focused with the program that I forgot the blessings behind it. It was a blessing that we started late so we could have a team prayer. It was a blessing that our internet was limited so we could have teamwork and team communication. It was a blessing that we were bombed yet only when pastor was telling a story of a tragedy, the bombers made a dramatic background music. It was a blessing that Praises were given to a God that is worthy of all Praises for enabling His children to be the hands and feet of Jesus. It was a blessing to be able to witness God's goodness all month long.

Oh CMU, our Alma Mater Beloved. We greet you dear.. 🎶 #kimiediaries #rafadale

Hi there!

Have you ever experienced a toothache? A kind of ache that keeps you up all night and wakes you up somewhere middle of the night or near dawn when sleep is still enjoyed?

If you haven’t, LUCKY YOU! If you do have, glad that it is over or perhaps you got a remedy for it.

For me, I am experiencing this painful toothache that affects my jaw line as well. It’s so painful that I get chills and wanted to sleep all day all night. But I was glad to be able to sleep last night.

Yet, around dawn, I woke up because of discomfort. My jaw is painful and my molars and having a concert enjoying their bangs on my gums.  It was so annoying because I wanted more sleep. I tried my best to sleep. I gently massaged my jaw then massage my gums, I drank cold water and then I almost reached for the pain killers.

And then I realized...

My prayers last night during our worship was, “Lord, please wake us up to worship in the morning without relying on our alarms clocks.” I immediately checked my phone, checked the time, and it was 4:25 am. OH WOW!! I am so amazed! And since my phone is now on, my thumb automatically went to Facebook and what a blessing again. On top of my feed was “Harana sa Kabuntagon” of Hope Channel South Philippines.

I am amused and thankful. Thank you Lord, you answered my prayer once more.

Because of the pain, we were able to worship in the morning and I was able to join the United Prayer and was able to finish chores early.

What a great blessing!

I am so happy today! I hope you are happy too!

Do you have any pain that turned out to be a blessing? SHARE IT OUT FRIENDS!

How to find peace? Some say peace comes when you are financially secured, or when you have settled down with someone special or when you build your own family. Some also say peace comes when you have fulfilled your dreams and goals are attained one by one. Yet some also say, peace comes from simple things like the chirping of the birds, the laugh of the kids, the smile of love ones and a very good meal! Oh I get excited when it comes to peace! Does it feel weird? Does peace feel exciting? Or does it need to be calm? How do you feel peace? We feel it too right? Or is it a state of mind? Hmmmm.... Sounds a lot! But one thing is sure.. Peace comes from Christ. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. So peace can be anything, anytime, anywhere as long as Christ is in it there's PEACE. #kimiediaries #canva #canvaqoute #latenightreflections #littlestepstoprogress #beginnerwriter #digitaljournal https://www.instagram.com/p/CKtz-tVllNb/?igshid=s1l8s5h0wz9a

A Story of the Free Laptop

[kimiediaries]

Hello everyone! Since my goal for 2021 is to husstle doing what I love, I will start writing to improve this skill. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKd1ok3FCAk/?igshid=e9k7yrmtaxiu

It is such a wonderful sunny afternoon that we decided to go to the park and get few rounds of jogs. The kids were very excited thinking that the park we're referring to is the playground. Unfortunately, the parents which is us the #kimiedale is not favor with the idea of close contact with other kids. Yet, we are very grateful that Thailand is finally cleared from COVID-19 but we wanted to transition slowly. When we arrived at the area, the kids leaped for joy and was running with all the cheers and noise (that's normal by the way, hence, noisy family). They have jogged half a kilometer I guess or shall I say sprint since it was faster than a jog and they got tired. Eventually, they asked again if they could go to the playground and play since other kids were there. We said No again. The kids started to walk around and few minutes later Dale asked the same question, "can we play at the playground?" and for the nth time, I really can't recall the number of times but I said no. We reminded the kids the reason and educated them about the transition to the new normal. They also mentioned about wearing masks, washing of hands and staying at home. The kids relaxed on a side shown in the photo. Having a conversation or a kid's talk. They were talking why they have to obey and be patient until they could play like they used to. And both of them sang 🎶 Trust and Obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey 🎶 #nothisisnotacaptiononly #thisispostedintumblr #kimiediaries #sorryforgrammarerrors https://www.instagram.com/p/CBa3k8ipvEDwLzPLBc0EZWPWt-F_a8s5pZxZBY0/?igshid=dn3kg5lzmep2

Sunday is our usual Makro Day! But today is different, we decided to take shots on Chanthaburi’s new normal after ECQ has been lifted.

Nothing changed so much since March, Sundays will always be less crowded at the streets but crowded in establishments. I assume that whole Thailand has followed all the protocols that the government has given them.

Even as the ECQ has lifted, people still wear masks and observe social distancing, well not most of the time at Makro but in majority of places it is observed. Gems street is starting to re open but still less crowd. Parks and playgrounds are now occupied and wellness routine such as zumba is back in some places. Slowly Chathaburi is going back to normal.

But for how long?

There is never an assurance of safety and joy in this world. We will always live wondering if things may improve or not. But one thing we are assured of is heaven and our loving God. In Him everything is under control, in Him no pandemic could ever disturb our peace. And in Him there is HOPE that in heaven there’s no COVID-19.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAk2_gmpQFs3UYm_EKa1DvC6mU2ythu06CXjWs0/?igshid=1acajook649la
