Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children. LAMENTATIONS 2:19 Do you believe that prayers do wonders? Do you believe that prayers are wonderful? Do you believe that we should also pray for our kids? If you answered, Yes, then this is for you! Since I shared before the ebook of The Power of A Praying

Last March 2016, I gave birth at Makati Medical Plaza. I was so grateful that my OB Dra Joanne De Grano-Marave is very kind. Roughly, Normal delivery can ranges from 120-160k at that time but my OB offered a package for PHP 75,000. What's included? 2 days semi private room stay Delivery room fee Baby care fee OB fee Pedia fee Anesthesiologist fee Last April, I gave birth to our 3rd child

It will be our first flight as a family. Technically, it is Addy's second time to ride the plane while it is Arriana's first time. We will be in Bacolod from Friday until Monday for our good friend's wedding, Nescy and Christian. #NesC2017 #NesCyoNaAngLahat. Our flight was delayed and I somehow expected it already since we took the mid day flight. Domestic and International flights share the

Last June 24-25, we spent our long weekend in Batangas. Together with my mother-in-law's side, we went to Calubcub Bay, El Jardin De Zaida, Basaliya and my in law's property in Abung. It was a perfect weekend for my homeschooler. Addy was able to appreciate the beauty of Batangas. Here are some of our activities with our integrated lessons. ROAD TRIP Our convoy is pretty long, 5 cars in total.

Two Sundays ago, we had a mini LG (Light Group) with our Ninong Mario, Ninang Gina and our kinakapatid from the Feast. It was a very fruitful night as we share our marriage experiences. JB and I were so happy to bond with Clark & Len, Dearden & Camille, Kiko & Larr and we are excited to have our regular LG's with them. Marriage is sacred for me. We may had a secret simple one ( will

Carrying another life for 9 months can be exciting, challenging and overwhelming. With Addy, I had no symptoms at all! 9 months was easy peasy! I was actually expecting to have the same with my second baby however, as they say, no babies are alike and no pregnancy is alike. I had morning sickness with Arriana. Let me correct that, ALL DAY sickness! I will be able to eat without vomiting

 Just to be clear, No! I am no expert when it comes to breastfeeding. Just like the rest, I had to read a lot of articles and forums while I was pregnant. I am just lucky to have friends who had successful breastfeeding journeys. They are my great support system.  Back in 2009, Addy was considered premature in size because in Canada they follow of course the average size for

So we welcome my second child named Arriana Janelle. For those who know my back story, I always wanted the name Arriana. If Addy was a girl her name will be Arriana Laurene. But as we all know, Addy is a boy. See what happened to Kuya Addy's name here Fast forward 2015, when I finally knew the gender of my second baby, I am 100% sure that her name will be Arriana.

My last preggy photo March 5, 2016 me and my partner decided to watch a movie in SM Aura. After the movie, we drop by at his friend's house for his birthday Salubong that is already March 6. Everyone was telling me that I might give birth that day. I always answer, "No! I always talk to Arriana and now I tell her she can come out March 8 onwards to give me time to finish some errands"

We are to "fight the good fight of faith" against the enemy - but what does that look like practically? Here are six key strategies: 1. Think aggressively. Plan and calculate, like a general preparing for battle, how to engage and defeat the enemy. 2. Pray fervently. Hebrews 4:16 instructs us to approach God's throne confidently. Step forward with confidence and tell Him what you need.&

Photo from Pixabay First John 4:16 emphasizes that we need to be conscious of the love God has for us. It's easy for us to say 'God loves me' without really understanding what we're saying. The knowledge of His love should not be some biblical fact to which we mentally assent but a living reality in our lives.  "God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and

Back to work! Weekend events! 😊 thank you Lord for the unfailing love!  The Lord is my strength, He should be your strength also. We must realize that part of Satan's plan for end-time believers is to make us weary. Daniel 7:25 gives a vivid description of a vision the prophet Daniel received regarding the last days: "And he 'shall wear out the saints of the Most High'"  But God

Yes, I was a stressed single mom before. Who wouldn't be? I was working in a travel agency supervising a 24/7 department who deals with distressed passenger. I was also a full time mom and dad. I am coping up with my self battles. I am just everywhere. I know that all moms share similar highs and lows but I can’t help but wonder if single parents share a different level of stress just due

"I headed for in the wrong direction many times, but I know in my heart that it was never too late to turn back" As a daughter of Roman Catholic parents, I was raised knowing and valuing the Bible. The bible includes guidelines that can lead to a happy and victorious life. But amidst that knowledge, I still got lost--- because there were times I chose to ignore and headed down a different

It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails. You will never do anymore than take the life out of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body, love is more than the sum of the

For many of us, our biggest problem is that we don't like ourselves, and our skewed outlook makes it difficult for us to believe that God could possibly love us. For years I struggled with this problem. I spent at least 75 percent of my time trying to change myself, exerting double extra effort in all the things I do, adjust to everyone else, but all I really did was stress myself out

I received a disturbing message from someone whom I'd met at a writer's workshop about two years ago.  She mentioned that she was living a 'pathetic cruel life' and went on to profess her continued love for an old colleague of mine. she ended her message with what to me sounded like a bitter note.   "Anyway, you're lucky. You seem to be leading a charmed life. Take care."&

I can’t help but feel sad.  In a few days you will go and move into another land.  I know you will meet new friends, and maybe forgot about me.  I know, I can imagine you saying, “Never” then probably hug me to give me more assurance.  I must learn to face life without seeing you at the feast, a day without a text nor a bbm message from you, or even your silly

 I woke up one morning feeling less than ecstatic.  Like a bolt of lightning, it came to me how everything is changing so fast in my life.  Like in a brief period of time, things change, people come and go. And I can’t help it. I was prepared to sulk for the day if not for two words– Let Go.               &

Being a mother is a tough job, but being a mom and a dad is tougher. I want to take a moment today and say Happy Father’s Day to all the Mothers out there who are Fathers too. You deserve the extra recognition of filling in for two salaries, two parents, and still staying sane (mostly).
