Nightmares and Prayers

by Gilian, in category Family, Thoughts

It was around 4:00am in the morning and I was awakened by my 6 year old’s voice. “Mommy can you read the Bible or play the audio Bible, please?” He said in a calm and cute voice, but I knew he had a bad dream. So I asked, “Why? Did you watch something scary last… Read More

I Want To Be Useful

by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections, Thoughts

These skills, gifts, resources that we have are not just for us. It is also to help others, to teach them, and to contribute to the place we live in. This is also one way on how God can be glorified. It is not a requirement so we can have salvation, but it is the fruit or the result of being saved.

CONSISTENCY

ARRABOO.PH, TARLAC CITY | SATISFYING YOUR MIDDLE EASTERN CRAVINGS

by Gilian, in category Food, Philippines, REVIEWS, Tarlac
Arraboo, Tarlac City

After spending majority of my life in Saudi Arabia, it’s not a surprise for me to occasionally crave for Arabian cuisine. Fortunately, there are now restaurants in the Philippines that offer Middle Eastern food. It’s important to note, however, that some of these dishes that people offer in the Philippines may not taste exactly like… Read More

He Always Finds Me

by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections

One afternoon, my husband and I were at the grocery with our youngest boy. In the middle of our grocery shopping, my husband thought of testing my son. He told me to let our son look around and leave his side and see what he will do. Our expectation? Well, we were expecting for him… Read More
