Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Test as You Build

by Gilian, in category Reflections, Thoughts

Every morning, my family watches an episode of this Netflix series called BAKING IMPOSSIBLE where a baker is teamed up with an engineer. The teams will be given a series of challenges and a stress test will be given to make sure the engineered cakes would stay intact and strong. Failure to test One of… Read More

The Tree VS The Rock

by Gilian, in category Thoughts

8-yr old son: God should have used a tree. You can get water from a tree. Me: That’s why he used a rock. Getting water from a tree is too easy, any man can do that, but getting water from a rock? Now that’s something supernatural. Something extraordinary. So, when you think things are already… Read More

Strengthen Yourself

by Gilian, in category Journal, Reflections, Words

And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:7-8 There are days when we wait upon the Lord to get our strengths renewed. Sometimes, we keep… Read More

Eyes On You

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts, Words

“But our eyes are on you.” Such a powerful line. There are times when we reach that place of not knowing what to do just like King Jehoshaphat in the book of 2 Chronicles. Whenever we don’t know how else to face our problems, remember how Jeshoshaphat showed his faith in God by showing HUMILITY-… Read More

Dear Tired Mom,

by Gilian, in category Dear People, Reflections, Thoughts, Women, Words

This is how busy February has been especially in the morning. All these tasks are happening at the same time; online class for my youngest, finishing orders, studying, snacks, and more. Afternoon has a different story of its own. New Mom When I first became a mom, I was overwhelmed with the tasks a mom… Read More

Sitting Beside The Master

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts, Words

When the pandemic started, schools had to adjust to different set-ups for classroom. Some still cater face-to-face for those students whose parents are both working, and others who choose to stay at home can attend virtually. For our sons, we chose the virtual classes. My youngest son is 3 and is turning 4 tomorrow. I… Read More

From “I Hate Math” to “I Love Math”

by Gilian, in category Dear People, Journal, Reflections, Thoughts, Words

For months, my 6 year old son struggled with math. He started hating it so bad because he did not understand the lesson and he was left clueless whenever they’d have a task to do. He hated it and told me he wished math didn’t exist. He was exaggerating of course, but the effect was… Read More

Life, Books, and Blogging

by Gilian, in category Blogging, Family, Thoughts

Blogging The main reason why I haven’t been blogging in the last quarter of 2019 was because of technical issues I have been encountering on my website. When WordPress mobile updated 4-5 months ago, I started having a hard time uploading blog posts from my phone. There would always be an error when uploading until… Read More

Journal/Planner 2020

by Gilian, in category Art, Crafts, Creative Writing, Journal, Thoughts

DIY customizable planner/journal. I’m more of the journaling type, and I’ve used planners in the past, mostly for journaling ideas, reflections, writing topics, etc. What would usually happen is that I’d use up all the pages of the planners before the year even ends. 3 months to be exact. Thus, loosing track of all the… Read More
