My immune system is still pretty weak—almost like a baby’s, to be honest. I tend to catch things easily and often bring illnesses home. I thought I could push through this one without medical help, so I held off going to the hospital. But the cough and colds I’ve had since April 4th have only gotten worse, and it looks like it’s developed into a chest infection. I’ll be starting antibiotics and using a nebulizer. I guess it’s a reminder that I need to go a bit easier on myself and be more cautious moving forward.

I seriously can’t stand being sick—especially when work’s a madhouse—but I guess it’s my body’s cheeky way of saying, ‘Hey, take a break!

Happy Birthday to My Incredible Husband

Today, on your special day, I want to celebrate more than just the day you were born—I want to celebrate you. The man you are. The strength you carry. The love you pour out daily.

You have been my rock through the darkest storms, especially when I was at my weakest. When cancer tried to steal my joy and strength, you stood in the gap—feeding me, bathing me, carrying me, injecting me with medicine, and never once complaining. You handled every chore, every appointment, every tear… with quiet strength and unwavering love.

You weren’t just my caretaker. You were my warrior. My comfort. My safe place. My answered prayer.

God used you so mightily to keep me going. When my faith wavered, yours stood firm. When I felt like giving up, your love reminded me to fight on. You were—and still are—my confidante, my protector, and my greatest blessing.

Happy birthday, my lovely hubby. May God bless you abundantly for all that you are and all that you’ve given. I love you more than words could ever express.

Forever yours,

Zel

Happy Mothering Sunday. 💖💖💖

I love receiving heartfelt messages. Sharing my daughter's for Mother's Day.
------------------------------
Mum,

Happy Mother's Day to the incredible woman who first embraced the title of “mother” at 3:18 AM, 20 years ago. That moment marked the beginning of a bond so profound, it would shape my entire life. As you held me in your arms, your smile was a promise—a promise of unwavering love and guidance that has illuminated my path ever since.

Your light has never dimmed, even in the face of sickness or the challenges that life throws our way. No adversity can ever dull the radiant sparkle that you possess. Your presence is a treasure I cherish deeply; it fills my heart with admiration and adoration. In every moment where others might falter, you’ve flourished, turning obstacles into stepping stones, inspiring me with your incredible strength and resilience.

You are everything that I love, embodying grace and courage in ways that leave me in awe. When I think of you, I see a fierce spirit that rises above every trial, a beacon of hope that reminds me to embrace life with open arms. Your love is my anchor, and your strength my guiding star.

Today, I celebrate you, my mother, for everything.

With all my love

Love That Covers

1 Peter 4:8 reminds us of the transformative power of love. “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” This verse speaks to the heart of Christian living—love that is not shallow or conditional, but deep and enduring.

Love, in its truest form, has the power to heal wounds, restore relationships, and bring unity where there is division. It does not ignore or justify wrongdoing but chooses forgiveness over resentment. When we love deeply, we reflect God’s grace, extending the same mercy that we ourselves have received.

In a world where judgment and conflict are prevalent, this verse challenges us to prioritize love. It calls us to be patient, to extend kindness even when it is undeserved, and to seek reconciliation rather than retaliation. When love leads our actions, it softens hearts and bridges gaps, covering over the sins and shortcomings that might otherwise tear us apart.

As we reflect on this scripture, we should ask ourselves: Are we loving others deeply, even when it is difficult? Do we extend grace as freely as we desire to receive it? May we strive to embody a love that reflects Christ’s own—one that forgives, restores, and truly covers a multitude of sins.

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if Your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near?
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

Have a blessed week ahead.🙏

Sharpening Each Other in Faith

Proverbs 27:17 reminds us of the power of relationships in shaping our character and faith. Just as iron sharpens iron, we grow stronger through meaningful interactions with others. This verse highlights the importance of accountability, encouragement, and challenge in our spiritual journey.

True friendships are not just about comfort but about refining each other. Sometimes, sharpening means offering correction or receiving it with humility. It means walking alongside others, strengthening one another in wisdom, faith, and love.

Reflecting on this, I ask myself: Am I surrounding myself with people who sharpen me? Am I helping others grow in return? May we seek and become friends who inspire, challenge, and strengthen each other in Christ.

What a journey it has been, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My heart overflows with gratitude. I didn’t know what life would be like more than a year after my stem cell transplant, but one thing I am certain of—God’s infinite embrace has never left my side.
