This is IT right here 🪄✨

December last year.

I love her 😍

I was going through hell and back here. Guys, 2024 needs to be erased from the history of years—no ways! But I still tried to do the things that felt true to me, like being creative with my wardrobe. :)

Now, I am the happiest.

I am as happy as a toddler learning things for the first time. I am as happy as a young adult who’s realizing things her younger self always dreamt of.

I last felt this alive before my teens—before my diagnosis with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I am so very much at peace; feeling strong has become the cornerstone of my inner serenity.

If this was the only gift I had to receive from God, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Or think of trading it for anything later down the line. This is IT right here!!!

I am sooooo happy—said a girl who suffered joint pain, swelling, stiffness, redness, warmth around the joints, fatigue, fever, rash, loss of appetite, weight loss, limping, decreased range of motion, eye problems, irritability—for over a decade.

On the 14th year, I learned it got worse—the symptoms now include complete loss of joint structure involving bone erosion and degeneration (which was as painful as it sounds).

On January 15, 2025, I wore my big girl panties—well, not really, since no clothing is allowed in the theatre—and had a major surgery (total hip replacement) done on me.

She then lived happily ever after!!! (Eternal declaration)

Glory to Jesus ❣️

Blessed to bless: Service is the call

I am happy to see the heart of God in partnering with me to bless others. While this is my call to answer, I am careful not to be overly excited but to remain level-headed, as I understand the cost of being chosen to work for the Lord. Walking with Him in itself can be daunting; it’s a great responsibility that involves exposing my heart, forcing me to accept where I am wrong and engage in doing the job to unlearn and learn. Service comes with sacrifice at the same time it is deeply fulfilling and the very reason for our existence. A call, I explain as a thing that describe me yet feels foreign. It’s both familiar and new. The beginning is exhilarating, as it resembles pursuing a passion that feels more like a hobby. However, I recognize that there have been times I fought against the will of God because it was taxing to be in the place He called me to remain, doing the work and interacting with challenging individuals. I have celebrated at the revelation that my struggle is meant to e...

Successful Living: Embracing God's Will

Free and victorious Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” We are free from: - Oppression by the enemy, - Destruction from Satan, - Deception by Satan, - Being controlled and used by the enemy, - The lies of the enemy. Romans 8:37 "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." We are successful in: - Our walk with God, - Hearing God, - Following the instructions of God and obeying Him, - Aligning with the will, plan, and purpose of God according to His will as we devote ourselves to scriptures, - Loving the things God loves and hating the things God hates. We experience victory in: - Following God, - Living a life written in heaven for the number of our days on earth....

The Responsibility to Remember

This blog is inspired by a sermon titled “ Who Is God Calling You to Be ” by Sarah Jakes Robertś. In the journey of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our resolve and beliefs. However, we have power to war. When faced with adversity, it’s vital to put our knowledge of Scripture to work and crash the head of the serpent. The Bible reminds us of the enmity between us and the serpent, as stated in Genesis 3:15 (NIV) “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This powerful verse serves as a battle cry, urging us to fight back against depression, anxiety, fear, life’s challenges and the lies that tell us we are not good enough or that our dreams are too big to attain. When challenges arise, we must go back to the feet of Jesus. There, we can pick His brain and meditate on what He tells us. It’s essential to internalize these teachings and repeat them to ourselves. When the enemy r...
