Ever since I became a mom, parang ibang tao na ako.

Mom brain is real.
I forget words in the middle of a sentence.
I lose my train of thought.
I became more introverted.

My priorities changed.

Even the way I see life changed.

The last time I preached was 2 weeks before giving birth. Then, 2 months postpartum, I'm back behind the pulpit.

And you know what? I realized I wasn't losing myself.

God was shaping me into a different woman.

Motherhood didn't make me less capable…it made me more dependent on Him.

It revealed a kind of strength I never knew I had.

So if you're a mama who feels like you've changed...

You're right, you have.

But that doesn't mean you've lost who you are.

Maybe you're simply becoming the woman God has been molding you to be all along. 🤍

Moms, always trust your instinct. 🤍

Hindi ko inexpect na ma-aadmit ang baby ko at 3 months old.

This morning, unang lagnat pa lang niya, I decided to have his labs done agad kahit nawala din naman ang lagnat niya. By afternoon, his temperature suddenly spiked to almost 40°C while we were rushing to the ER.

Thank God dala na namin agad yung results, so everything went fast and smooth. I can't imagine having to wait pa for the labs habang sobrang taas na ng lagnat niya.

Kaya nabigyan agad siya ng antibiotics and meds.

Pero I was already crying before we even got to the ER. Ang nasa isip ko lang, sobrang liit niya pa para sa IV at sa mga injections.

As a mom, gusto mo ikaw na lang yung nasasaktan.

Then last night, I just kept singing worship songs for almost 3 hours. Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses akong umiyak, pero every song reminded me of who God is.

He loves Gavriel even more than we do, and I know He's in control.

Thank you for your prayers! Claiming complete healing in Jesus name. 🤍

This realization changed my prayer, “Sometimes greater blessing requires greater capacity.”

Most of us pray for success diba?

We pray for open doors.
We pray for more.

But... are we actually ready when God gives us the opportunity?

Alam niyo, I tried BJJ lately as a mom of two, 3 months postpartum.

Honestly, for almost 6 years, I've delayed becoming physically active. Lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko,

“Busy na ako."
“I already have a full plate."
“Maybe next season."

Until I realized... maybe it wasn't just my schedule that was holding me back.

Maybe it was my comfort.

And if I'm honest, kaya pa naman. I just had to start showing up.

Minsan ganyan tayo, Sometimes we ask God for bigger opportunities, greater influence, more blessings, more impact…

But as we ask for more, we should also be willing to embrace the discipline, character, responsibility, and obedience that often come with it.

Kasi growth has a cost and stewardship requires maturity.

So lately, I don’t just ask for God to bless me.

My prayer now is for God to Increase my capacity to steward what He is about to entrust to me.

Because blessings without character become burdens.

Opportunities without preparation become overwhelming.

Sayang ang momentum kung hindi ka pala ready!

So, maybe the breakthrough we’ve been praying for isn't really late.

Maybe God is still preparing us for what we’ve been praying for.

To become stronger.
To grow in character.
To increase our capacity.
To trust Him enough to step out of the comfort zone and start walking on waters.

So to the girlies who have been living inside their comfort zone for years…

Maybe it's time to take that first step, and keep showing up. Kahit mahirap.

Because you'll never know what God can do through you until you're willing to step out in faith.

May God prepare us for what we're praying for.🤍

Btw, if you're around Sto. Tomas and have been wanting to try BJJ, tara! ☺️

Lately, sabi ko sa asawa ko, "I feel lost sa ministry."

After months of bed rest and giving birth, I missed traveling. I missed preaching in different places. I missed the ministry I was used to.

Then habang nag-uusap kami, we both came to this simple realization:

We do what we can right now.

This season, I have two little kids who need me.

So, I can't say yes to every invitation, and that's okay.

So instead of traveling, we open our home.

We cook for people.

We go on coffee dates.

We listen more than we speak.

We spend hours with people talking about life and Jesus.

Some of our disciples even stay overnight because that's what this season allows.

And maybe... that's exactly where God is calling us.

Habang nag-uusap kami, I felt like God was reminding me of something He's been teaching me since college.

Discipleship was never meant to be confined to a church service, a Bible study, or a stage.

It's life on life.

It's opening your home.

It's sharing a meal.

It's listening before speaking.

It's walking with people long enough that they don't just hear about Jesus…they see Him being formed in your everyday life.

Jesus didn't just gather crowds. He walked closely with a few. He shared meals with them, traveled with them, asked questions, corrected them, encouraged them, and simply did life with them.

I'm realizing that this season didn't take me away from ministry.

It simply changed what ministry looks like.

I'm learning that faithfulness doesn't always look like doing more.

Sometimes it looks like embracing the assignment God has placed right in front of you.

So if you're in a season that looks different from before, don't think you've lost your purpose.

Maybe God hasn't changed your calling.

Maybe He's just changing the way you live it.

For us, right now, discipleship looks like an open home, a warm meal, honest conversations, and hearts that always have room for one more.

And I think that's a beautiful kind of ministry. 🤍

If you're watching this, I pray that one day you'll walk through the doors of a home you can finally call your own. 🤍

The older we get, the more we realize that raising children is one of the biggest responsibilities God can entrust to us.

Lalo na when I see what's happening around us.

Bullying.
Bashing.
Comparison.
Violence.
Stories of abuse.
Corruption.

And what's even more heartbreaking?

Parang pabata nang pabata ang gumagawa ng masama.

As a mom, hindi ko maiwasang isipin...

Ito yung mundo na kalalakihan ng mga anak natin.

Honestly, that scares me.

Not because I doubt God.

But because I see how hard the enemy is fighting for the hearts and minds of this generation.

The world will influence our children one way or another.

The question is...

Who will influence them more?

Maybe this is our wake-up call to be more intentional at home.

Let's strengthen our marriages.

Let's create homes our children feel safe in.

Let's be quick to forgive and slow to anger.

Let's not teach them to hold grudges, but to extend grace.

Let's talk about Jesus at home.

Let's pray with them.

Let's teach them God's Word while they're still young.

Because one day, our voices won't be the loudest voices in their lives anymore.

Kaming mag-asawa, contented na kami sa dalawang anak.

And honestly, it's not just because of the financial aspect.

Mahirap magpalaki ng anak.

Not just financially, but because we also carry the responsibility of helping shape who they will become.

Let’s be intentional in raising and discipling them.

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

The world may keep getting darker, but God's truth remains the same.

We may not be able to change everything happening around us.

But we can raise children who know Jesus, love His Word, and recognize His voice.

Because at the end of the day, it is not just about the kind of future we're leaving for our children, but what kind of children we're leaving for the future. ❤️

What else could I ask for?

God gave me a husband na hindi lang present but also involved in taking care of our kids.

Someone who says,
"Ako na dyan, matulog ka muna."
"Kumain ka muna."
“Mag ayos ka muna.”

Someone who never lets me get too tired around the house.

Someone who has plans for our family and works hard for it.

Someone who is always trying to become better.

Someone who makes his family his first ministry.

Leaving his career as 2nd mate to be present for us…The kind of career a lot of people dream of.

Minsan tinanong ko siya,

"Hindi mo ba nami-miss ang barko? Paano yung pangarap mo?"

"Eto ang pangarap ko.", he said.

To be present.

To be there for the ordinary days.

The puyatan moments.
The habulan moments.
The bedtime stories.
The school activities.

And for me, that's one of the greatest sacrifices a father can make.

I know not everyone has the privilege to make the same choice, and I deeply admire every dad doing his best wherever God has called him.

But today, I'm thankful for a husband who chose presence.

A husband who leads our family, serves without being asked, and loves us faithfully every single day.

Thank You, Lord, for giving us a man who serves You by loving and leading his family well.

Happy Father's Day, Love. ❤️

You spend years raising little humans, only to discover that somewhere along the way, God is also raising you. 🤍

Honestly, parenting is hard.

There are days when I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Yung akala mo confident ka na, then a new season comes and you're back to learning all over again.

But one thing motherhood has taught me is how little control I actually have.

I can't control everything that happens to my kids.

I can't predict every challenge.
I can't guarantee I'll always get it right.

And maybe that's where God has been growing me the most.

Because in every season that feels overwhelming, He keeps proving that He's there.

Not by giving me all the answers, but by giving me what I need for that day.

The strength, the wisdom, the grace, the provision.

Looking back, ang daming moments na akala ko hindi ko kakayanin.

But God sustained us every single time.

So yes, raising little humans is hard.

But what gives me confidence is knowing that while I'm raising them, God is raising me too. 🙌

Nung iniwan namin ang career namin para magserve sa Lord, akala namin mas hihirap.

Akala namin maraming bagay ang kailangan naming isuko.

Akala namin malaki ang binitawan namin, pero mas malaki pala ang gagawin ng Lord.

God has a way of providing that doesn't always make sense at first.

Hindi man mabilis.
Hindi man sabay-sabay.

Pero unti-unti rin Niyang binubuo ang mga bagay na ipinagpe-pray lang namin noon.

Siguro sa iba simple lang to, pero tuwing napapatingin ako sa bahay, nagbubukas ng aircon, sumasakay sa kotse, at kapag nakikita ko na comfortable ang mga anak namin, naiiyak parin talaga ako.

Dahil nakikita namin ang proof ng faithfulness ni Lord. 🤍
