Spices of Life

Let us open this post with a verse that says, "Trust the plans that God has laid for you." I don't really know which book that is from the bible but I am sure that there is something like that that the bible says.
Anyway, I know that God has plans for my life and I strongly believe that this job that I have right now is part of His plans for me. I can truly affirm how amazing His ways are in fulfilling His plans for me.
But there are times in my life that I doubt His plans for me. Being a working mom, that guilt feeling will never escape me, especially during times when my daughter is sick. I often question myself if am I still on the right path, if am I still doing the right thing, and I even asks God if this is really what He has planned for me. Whenever I am in situation like this, my faith really is shaken. This just goes to show that my faith for God's plan for me is not that sturdy.
I am guilty of this and each time I am rebuked of how God provided everything that I asked for but yet I am doubting Him, His plans for my life.
I know that everything that is happening is part of that plan, to strengthen me, to mold me and to pull me closer to Him.
May I have the attitude to trust His plans and His ways and to also trust His ways. I am anxious of my daughter's health but I put her situation, her life to Him because I trust that He has plans for me.

Day 1 of 365

On the first day of 2018, it was raining the whole day because of TD Agaton. Yes, Agaton started the new year. We all did not invite him but still, he came and even left some areas flooded. But, nonetheless, we had fun celebrating the first day of the new year 2018 and at the same time the birthday of our youngest bro, Emman. Although, most of the time we were sleeping or lying down, we enjoyed new year. The pics tell it all. Happy New Year! Mamay :-)

Day 2 of 365

Second day of 2018 was a working day for me. I had to endure holiday blues and get myself to the office and spent 8 hours in front of my computer looking at pictures from the previous holidays and did not even touched anything that has something to do with work. Hahaha. Lucky for me I don't have that much to do these days so I had the luxury of time to splurge on unnecessary things. By the way, I took my daughter with me to work since I really don't have anything to do at the office. We went to buy the toy that she wanted for the money that she earned (partly). It was expensive! I never would have splurged my money on that toy if it was my money, but it's partly hers, so let it be. She was happy though with that toy and that was enough for a mom like me. That was how my 2nd day of 2018 went. Mamay

Unplanned trips are the Best!

 Last July 1, since it was a holiday in Tagbilaran City in commemoration of its Charter Day, we have no work or shall I say I have no work- Papay decided to take the day off as well. Out of the blue, he jokingly said that we'll go to Strawberry farm in Mayana, Jagna and I took his words - so off we go! That trip was long-overdue anyway, we have been talking of going but it never pushed through. It is true that it's better not to plan things and just go with the flow, no disappointments.  It was a long drive, we had several stop overs because reality, our body can't keep up with our minds. My legs and back were aching but because I did not want to be called "KJ" as what they often call me.. so I braved all that. We stopped first in Lila for a photo op because Papay wanted to show to his friend whose from Lila but now in abroad, you know, to make him feel more home-sick. Haha! Our second stop-over was in Garcia Hernandez, this time it was a long stop. Papay ate his ...
