When my wife was pregnant, people would say:
“𝘌𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯.”
“𝘐𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨.”
“𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦.”

And honestly, they weren’t wrong.
Life did change.
We sleep less.
The days are louder, messier, more unpredictable than ever before.

But here’s what no one really says:

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝟐 𝐀𝐌 𝐜𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭.
That being woken up every 2 to 3 hours means your child is 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.
That the noise, the crying, the fussing, the endless needs, are a blessing…

We don’t approach parenting with frustration.
We approach it with gratitude.

Not because it’s always easy.
But because it’s always sacred.

Not every parent gets to hear their baby cry.
Not every child wakes up again.

We don’t practice gentle parenting as a trend—
We practice grateful parenting as a posture.

Because we don’t see our child as a burden.
We see him as a miracle.
An answered prayer. A living, breathing reminder of God’s goodness.

Every cry is a conversation.
Every sleepless night, a quiet offering.
Every diaper change, giggle, and meltdown—
A holy moment of stewardship, not just survival.

So to the parent who’s tired…
The days are louder, messier, and more unpredictable than ever before.

𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱.

𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦 changes everything.

It won’t make the work disappear,
But it will remind you why it matters.

We’re not just raising a child.
𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

Like the moment you slow down, a voice in your head whispers, “𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘧𝘶𝘭… 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦… 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳…”

If that’s you, this is for you.

Somewhere along the way, many of us started equating busyness with holiness, and burnout with loyalty.

But Scripture tells a different story.

God didn’t wait for you to collapse before He commanded rest.
He gave the Sabbath not as a burden, but as a gift (Mark 2:27).

Even Jesus, God in the flesh, rested.

He withdrew to quiet places. He slept in storms. He paused to pray, to breathe, to be.

Rest is not rebellion.
Rest is not disobedience.
Rest is trust.

When you rest, you’re not letting God down. You’re honoring Him by acknowledging that the world doesn’t spin because of your effort, but because of His faithfulness.

Rest isn’t a sign that you’re falling behind.
It’s a sign that you know who’s really in charge.

So breathe.

Lay it down.

And remember: 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤.

“Okay ra man siguro nga dili sa ko mo tunga karon, no?”
“Valid ra man siguro akong kakapoy, no?”

Sometimes we forget that rest is also a form of showing up for ourselves.

When you're so used to always being there for others, giving your time and energy without question, the moment you choose to pause, you feel a twinge of guilt.

But hear this: your worth is not tied to your constant availability.
You are allowed to rest.

You are allowed to choose yourself today.
And that choice is not selfish… it’s sacred.

She’s clocking in and still checking on her family.
She’s serving in church, praying for others, and managing 10 things at once.

Women wear a thousand hats—and somehow, they still give their best.
𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵.

And hey, if that’s you reading this right now:
You don’t have to do it all perfectly.
You just have to do it with heart.

God isn’t looking for superhuman strength.
He’s looking for surrendered hearts—and you’ve got that.
You’re not behind. You’re not too much. You’re right where you need to be.

You are grace in motion. A walking miracle. A reflection of His endurance. 💼🕊️

𝗧𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆—𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝘆: 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙗.

Not every woman’s journey into motherhood looks the same.
Some aren’t ready. Some are trying. Some are grieving silently.

And if that’s you—we see you.
More importantly, 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

You are not “less than” for not holding a child.
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You are brave. You are whole. You are deeply loved.

Your identity is not tied to pregnancy—
It’s rooted in Christ, and nothing can shake that.

So if you're navigating confusing emotions, if you're tired of the waiting,
or if you simply know now isn’t the right time—
Let this be your reminder:

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼.

Still chosen. Still celebrated. Still carrying purpose.

Even in the “not yet,”
God is working. And He hasn’t forgotten you. 🕊️

𝑩𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈—𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈.

Let’s talk about the kind of woman who walks into a room and carries wholeness—not because of a ring, but because of who she is in Christ.

𝗧𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻—

You’re not “incomplete.” You’re not “waiting to be chosen.”
You are already 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻. Already called. Already powerful.
You love with depth. You serve with purpose. You pray with fire.

And while the world may try to box you into a timeline or checklist—
God looks at you and says,
“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚.” (Psalm 139:14)

You are not behind. You are right on time for your divine purpose.
Keep building. Keep blooming. Keep showing up as you.

You are a superhero too. Not one day—𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄. 💪💛

Let’s get this straight from the jump: 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀.

Not the comic book kind (though let’s be honest, the resemblance is strong)...

We’re talking real-life, God-crafted warriors—especially in the season of pregnancy.

It’s the cravings. The kicks. The discomfort.

It’s sacrificing your sleep, your body, and sometimes even your sense of self—

All for a life that hasn’t even taken its first breath.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 “𝘆𝗲𝘀” 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲.

It’s carrying not just a child...
..but dreams, prayers, and promises.

And while the world may not fully grasp the weight of it—God does.

He sees the swollen feet and the brave face.

The quiet strength. The late-night tears. The whispered worship when no one else is around.

So here’s your reminder, Sis:
You’re not just “going through pregnancy.”
𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

And the kind that heaven applauds. 🕊️

Let’s take Saul’s life in 1 Samuel 13 as an example.

God handpicked, anointed, and appointed Saul as the first king of Israel. But as king, Saul chose to do things on his own.

And in the face of an overwhelming Philistine army, Saul took matters on his own rather than letting God direct his path. There, 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐥.

13 “𝘠𝘰𝘶 (Saul) 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨,” 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥. “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶; 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘥, 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦."

But make no mistake, 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝.

With this, my friends, if you are at your lowest and you still choose to be with God, He will be with you.

And if you are at your highest and you still humble yourself before God… and remember Him who helped you achieve that height, He will be with you.

When choosing a partner for life, aside from having the same faith, put "𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧" at the top of your qualifications list.

Remember that wealth can be acquired, looks will change, but 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙙.

Seek a partner who not only encourages your spiritual journey but also:
- Prays with you
- Serve with you
- Engages in missions with you
- Ministers alongside you
- Worships alongside you
- Understands you deeply
- Share the love of Christ with you

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝'𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞

Many people think that no matter what we do, God will always make His promises come true for us. But this is false security.

In reality, 𝐺𝑜𝑑’𝑠 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑒.

The problem is, we often want God's promises to happen right away, without any trouble, or without our active involvement. But that's not how it works. We have to keep believing in God and doing the right thing, even when life is hard.

𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗵'𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵.

Joseph received God’s promise through a dream, but his life quickly turned chaotic when he told his family about it. His brothers almost killed him, threw him into a pit, sold him as a slave, and he ended up in Egypt, where he was unfairly thrown into prison.

If Joseph had given in to his circumstances, if he had not persevered, would God's promise have come true for him? Definitely not.

Additionally, when Joseph faced temptation from Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39, his response in verse 9 defines his unwavering faith:

“9 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘢𝘮. 𝘔𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘦. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝙨𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙂𝙤𝙙?”

Joseph knew that, despite everything, he had a God who promised him a brighter future.

This shows that God's promises remain true despite life's challenges.

The key is perseverance — remaining steadfast in faith regardless of the circumstances.

So, if you are in a difficult situation and feel like all hope is lost… 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

God stands beside you, and His promises remain true.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴

Malicious talk or gossip is mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, listed along with sins like murder and envy (Romans 1:29), things that should not be practiced or approved (verse 32).

Proverbs 25:23, the verse that specifically uses the word backbiting, paints a vivid picture of how people respond to gossip. Just as a cold north wind brings rain, a tongue given to backbiting will bring angry looks from the victims of the gossip.

In other words, if you want to make people angry, just spread rumors about them secretly. The source of the gossip will eventually be known, and the ones you’ve slandered will not be happy.

Negative or malicious talk may feel good for a moment, while you get something off your chest, but ultimately it does no good, and can actually do great harm, even separating close friends (Proverbs 16:28).

Backbiting is contrary to love, which is a reconciling force (1 Peter 4:8). Jesus said the peacemakers will be blessed, not the backbiters (Matthew 5:9).

Will Rogers once said, "𝑺𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒈𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒑."
