This Season I Didn’t Expect

This is not just a pregnancy story. This is a season that humbled me. I’m counting days now. Days before I finally meet the baby I’ve been carrying not just in my womb, but in my prayers, fears, and quiet surrender.

This journey hasn’t been easy. I’m a mom to a 5-year-old kindergarten, a 1-year-old baby boy, and now carrying our last blessing. Yes, I’m happy but not all the time. There were moments of fear, guilt, and many “Lord, bakit ang hirap?” moments.

I questioned God. I missed a career I had to let go. I quietly carried the guilt of not being able to help my husband financially the way I wanted to. And as a CS mom, alam kong matagal ang healing process. The thought of not being able to fully take care of my 5-year-old and 1-year-old during recovery hits differently. Iba yung bigat ng mom guilt kapag alam mong gusto mo, pero hindi mo pa kaya.

Yet, through all of it, God taught me lessons I want to share buntis ka man o hindi, mom ka man o simpleng tao lang trying to survive life:

1. You can be grateful and tired at the same time. Hindi porket pagod ka, hindi ka na thankful.

2. Letting go is also obedience. May mga season na kailangan mong iwan ang pangarap para alagaan ang mas mahalaga.

3. Guilt doesn’t define your worth. Hindi nasusukat ang value mo sa financial contribution lang.

4. God’s timing doesn’t rush, it restores. What you lose in one season, He can return in another form.

5. Surrender brings peace that control never will. When I stopped fighting the “what ifs,” I found rest.

This journey changed me. Not everything was easy to accept, but I chose to surrender it all to God and still be thankful. Hard, yes. But still a blessing.

This is just the beginning of my mom of 3 life journey. And if you’re in a season that feels heavy too stay with me. There’s more to unfold. 🤍

"...But My Eyes Are On You"

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” – 2 Chronicles 20:12

There are days when life feels like a battlefield.

The pressure rises. Decisions loom. Emotions swell. And in the thick of it all, we whisper to ourselves, “I don’t know what it takes. I don’t know what to do.”

Maybe it’s the bills you’re unsure how to pay. The relationship you don’t know how to fix. The job you’re struggling to keep up with. The healing you’ve been praying for that hasn’t come.

Sometimes, the weight of not knowing can crush your spirit. You feel like you’re standing before a mountain too high, a storm too wild, or a battle too big for your strength.

But then comes the reminder from 2 Chronicles 20:12—a moment when King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah stood helpless in the face of a vast army. They didn’t pretend to have it all together. They didn’t offer strategies. They didn’t put on masks of false strength. They simply stood before the Lord and confessed:

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”

What a powerful kind of surrender that is.

It’s not weakness. It’s not defeat. It’s trust.

It’s the kind of surrender that turns our gaze away from our limitations and toward the limitless power of God. It’s choosing to say, “I may not know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow.”

And because of that, I will not be afraid.

I will not be discouraged.

Even when life throws curveballs I didn’t expect and battles I didn’t sign up for, I will hold on to the truth that God is with me—in the unknown, in the waiting, in the in-between. He is not just with me in the moment; He’s already in my tomorrow, making a way.

So today, I take my hands off the wheel and surrender the need to control.

I trade anxiety for trust. Panic for praise. Fear for faith.

And I say with all my heart: “Lord, I don’t know what to do… but my eyes are on You.”

And that is enough.

Preparing Your Spiritual House for the Journey: Faith, Growth, and Trusting God

Before I head out on any trip, I make sure my house is clean. I can’t stand coming home to chaos—dirty dishes, unmade beds, or piles of laundry waiting for me. I like to leave things in order so that when I return, I can rest. Clothes washed, beds made, everything in its place. I even like to wash my clothes while I’m gone so I can enjoy at least two full days of peace when I get back. That’s my…

Surrendering to God: Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in Matthew 16:25

Matthew 16:25 teaches us the profound importance of self-sacrifice and surrender in the life of a Christ follower. It underscores the transformative power of relinquishing our desires and ambitions to God, leading to a newfound sense of freedom, fulfillment, and unwavering trust in His divine plan. Embracing this process of surrender involves letting go of the need for control and adopting an attitude of humility, which ultimately paves the way for a more profound peace and fulfillment in our lives. Surrendering to God is not an act of defeat but rather a powerful demonstration of faith and trust in His infinite wisdom, working to mold us into the likeness of Christ.

In today's fast-paced and self-focused world, the concept of surrendering to something outside of ourselves can seem counterintuitive. However, the paradoxical truth is that in surrendering to God, we find true freedom. By releasing our own desires and ambitions, we open ourselves to His perfect plan for our lives. This process is challenging, as it requires a deliberate shift from self-reliance to God-reliance. But in doing so, we discover a profound sense of peace that transcends human understanding. Through surrender, we relinquish the burdens we were never meant to carry and find rest in God's provision.

Furthermore, surrendering to God fosters a deep sense of fulfillment. As we align our will with Him, we begin to experience a purpose beyond temporal pursuits and material possessions. Our lives take on a greater significance as we participate in His eternal plan. This fulfillment is not fleeting or dependent on external circumstances but is rooted in our identity as beloved children of God. In surrender, we exchange our limited understanding for His infinite wisdom, allowing His purposes to unfold in our lives in ways that surpass our expectations.

In conclusion, embracing the call to surrender to God, as outlined in Matthew 16:25, is a transformative and liberating journey for every believer. As we release our grip on control, we find freedom in trusting His sovereignty over our lives. Surrender opens the door to a profound sense of fulfillment that emanates from aligning our hearts with His. Therefore, let us embark on the path of surrender with faith and courage, knowing that in letting go, we find true liberty and purpose in Him.
