A little heart dump... if you have a minute 💟
Sometimes I wish time would go by faster. I find myself looking forward to the weekend when my husband finally comes home after days of working in Manila, because it means I'll have the help I need in taking care of our children. For a while, I won't feel like all the responsibilities of managing our home rest solely on my shoulders.
Sometimes I wish I had more time for my small business so I could help earn for our family's future.
Sometimes I even catch myself wishing my kids would grow up faster so I could feel like myself again and have the freedom to do the other things I know I'm capable of.
Pero narealize ko... bakit ba ako nagmamadali?
The life I'm living now is also a dream I once prayed for. Bakit ba laging sa malayo nakatingin, instead of enjoying what's right in front of me? I want to relearn how to slow down. How to live more presently.
Kung hihilingin kong lumaki agad ang mga anak ko, ibig sabihin no'n, tatanda rin ako agad. Gusto kong namnamin ang season na ito. I don't want to miss the little things that, one day, I'll probably wish I could experience again.
And then I realized... maybe some seasons aren't meant for constantly building something or always preparing for the future. Maybe some seasons are simply meant to be lived. To embrace the ordinary, to be present, and to trust that God is the ultimate Provider, and that He is always in control.
Bakit hindi ko na lang i-enjoy ang blessing ng bawat araw?
Akala ko dati gasgas na ang ganitong realization kasi lagi na natin itong naririnig o nababasa. But it really hits differently when you discover it for yourself. Bigla ka na lang mapapasabi ng, "Oo nga, no?"
It's easier said than done, but it's true.
So today, I'm choosing to slow down.
To stop rushing through the very life I once prayed for.
To enjoy my children while they're still little, to appreciate the quiet moments, the messy days, the ordinary routines, and to trust that God knows exactly what He's doing in every season.
Maybe this season isn't asking me to do more.
Maybe it's simply asking me to be here.
