This place was once filled with beautiful colors and sparkling laughter, now became so silent and black. Yet the love of the significant people we once had remains in our hearts forever.

As a child, I remember back then how I used to run around this place whenever we visited our lola and uncle.

Climbing up the ladder of her native house where we used to cook and eat. Although the only light that brightens the house is the light from the fire, the melody of my Lola's stories is what makes the overnight stay more colorful.

Then, a good night rest follows these beautiful stories.

As I look back, I missed how it feels to become a child. Where everything feels like nothing but living with innocence and peace.

I missed how it feels like to have these angels on our sides, telling stories and making memories.

Sometimes I cannot even look back without tears flowing from my eyes. Yet, life is supposed to be lived forward with the memories and love they left behind.

Lola, your cry baby back then is now a grown up and still growing up cry lady but I know that you are always with me and praying for me up there.

Uncle, Shiny is doing her best with the dreams you made together. Please watch over her as she continues with these dreams and will make you proud someday. I know that you are praying and guiding her up there.

Praying for all departed loved ones in heaven to enjoy the peace and beauty of heaven with God. Until we meet again πŸ™πŸ»

HOME πŸ’š

As I traveled back home last night, I met a grandma (stranger) whom I never encountered before.

As I moved out of the comfort room, I noticed her waiting outside and she seemed confused. She approached me and asked, "where is our bus?" (in our native dialect). She held my hands and we walked together towards the parking where our bus was parked.

Then, during our second bus stop. She seems to have not remembered again where our bus is so she waited for me again outside the comfort room. Then, she followed me.

It was a very awesome experience wherein I felt the feeling of home even during my long ride journey.

What's amazing is that she doesn't even know who I am but she waited for me twice as I accompanied her to the bus. It's a reminder that even stranger people we met along the way will make us feel at home and so is the companionship of God.

No matter how difficult the road is, let's not forget to always remember that we have someone up there who is watching over us.

I MISS HOME πŸ₯Ή

For the past weeks, I have been having a tough time especially with my hectic schedules and suddenly I have been missing home.

On my way to the church, I met two teens (strangers) who were asking passers-by for coins. As I have heard, it's for food as they have not eaten yet. I approached and asked them to come with me and I'll buy them something to eat. While waiting for their food, I happen to have a short conversation with them. As I handed them their food, I saw their smiling faces and it was so priceless.

Then, I bid goodbye.

As I reached the church, the homily of the priest was about family. Which he emphasizes, "let us be a family to everyone, maybe not biological but spiritual" ❀️

And beside me was a cute little girl who kept smiling at me.

This experience made me realize many things in life;

Sharing is not only about how expensive the things you give but it's about the love of giving something and the priceless smiles of those who receive them.

Family is not only about blood but it's about our hearts who're willing to include everyone. Indeed, there's no place like home.

Smiles are contagious and it may give light to someone who's already having a hard time. So let's be a little kind to ourselves and to everyone whom we meet along our way because we may not know what they have been going through.

There's no harm in sharing kindness, let's continue to share through our own little ways. 🩷

Thank you Lord for a worthwhile experience and inspiration. Please continue to bless and guide me to become an instrument of your plans.

I was seated next to a grandma this morning at the church.

During the consecration, I noticed this grandma sobbing. Then, she took me into tears as well. I missed someone in heaven which she reminded me of, my great grandma.

Lula Angela Ipan was a faithful catechist of her time. She was the one who first introduced Christ to me during my childhood memories as she was the one who held my hands to the chapel for prayer service (Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Chapel at San Fernando, Banaue, Ifugao).

As clear in my memory, when I first saw her stand at the lectern to share with the melody of the choir. I was inspired to be a missionary servant like her.

While going home from the church, I encountered a lot of grandparents. I was so blessed, indeed.

We may not have seen or witnessed more of the catechist time of Lula Angela but in our hearts and the hearts of everyone she was able to touch and encounter, her memories and great legacy will always remain.

She was a catechist that passionately love what she is doing especially when it comes to reaching out to others and offering help in whatever means she can.

As well as, she's a great grandma for life.

I remember going with her to Lagawe, she always bought a chicharon (yung laging tinitinda sa may daan na nakalagay sa malaking plastic tapos sinusukat gamit ang baso or container) as a pasalubong for my siblings at home.

To my inspiration for being "called to serve," my Lula Angela and to all catechists out there, THANK YOU for all your hard work and sacrifices to evangelize and share Christ to others. You are truly appreciated, an inspiration to many.

Lula Angela, we miss you so much πŸ₯Ή I hope you're doing great up there in heaven and celebrating this day with your fellow catechist there. Know that you are forever in our hearts. We love you so much ❀️

If you happen to see this post and have an encounter with Lula Angela during her catechist time, kindly share it with us through the comment section or private message. God bless! ☺️

If everything feels heavy,
learn to kneel down and pray.

Not all the time, we are strong, and when those days come, believe me, you always have someone up in heaven who is looking forward to talking with you. Give God the chance to be God in your life.

He is just waiting for you, love.

Reminder,

You deserve a warm hug for going through a lot lately. You deserve to be embraced by the warmth of positivity and peace of mind.

Keep going, your days will get better soon.

Let it go!

Sometimes, we thought that holding was the best option. We barely see that the more we hold on, the more we get wounded and burdened. Do not be afraid to let it go. It will be your steppingstone to move forward in life with peace.

Remember, give yourself that peace of mind.

If you feel like crying, let it be.

What you are feeling is authentic and validated. You don't need to pretend. You can feel sad, broken, lost, and confused. As well as joyous, excited, successful, and marvelous. You can feel it either way, and that's okay.

Remember, you are not alone.

You always have someone behind you in this journey, and He's looking out for you. He is your light in the darkness and your hope when the world seems hopeless.

So, whenever you feel weary, look up and seek for Him.

Hey love, you are strong.

You got this!

If you feel like breaking, remember that you have what it takes to conquer - take it slowly, you'll get there.

hold on
"God's love endures"

God is love, and love is God. If someone out there cannot give you the love you deserve, it's time to look up and seek the love from the one above.

The steadfast love we seek is not from someone but from a deepened and strengthened relationship with God. His passion is what is holding us all throughout these challenges of life.

His love will light our way out of the dark prison of the past. His love will be our peace of mind, a gentle and comforting rhythm in our broken hearts.

Let us give this chance for God to be a God in our lives - to love us unconditionally and embrace us despite all our scars and flaws.

don't rush
"take it one step at a time"

As much as we want to finish something, we want to do it instantly and never bother about how the process will be and what the outcome will be. Sometimes, our greatest mistakes come from rushing.

Learn from these mistakes. Take things slowly.

Let us enjoy the process and celebrate the success because the process is our ground to know ourselves better. As we gain a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves, we will be able to have a clear vision of things. We will be able to have a clear direction on what journey and the first step we need to take.

feel the pain
"until it hurts no more"

Embrace that pain. Own it. Then, let it go.

You deserve to feel relieved from the pain that once took your life into the prison of sorrow. One day, you can say, "I did it." Before that day comes, let that pain be felt because that pain is a testament to how strong you are to conquer these battles in your life.

That pain is your stepping stone to a better version of yourself. The version that no longer lingers on the pain and settles for the less but a version that is braver to face the new fights of life.

A version that bears hope and a beacon of hope for others.

it's okay
"your feelings are valid"

Life is getting tough every single day, and you are, too. What you feel is valid, and you have the right to feel that way for whatever reason. Accept that not everything is in your favor, and you cannot control everything.

If you feel like crying, let it out.

If you feel like shouting, do it.

If you feel like you're in pain, embrace it.

If you feel lost, you can find your way out there. Let the light beyond all these feelings guide you toward hope and courage.

You have what it takes to feel that way and conquer.
