Happy Wall
This quarantine, the wall in Johan’s room spoke how much fun it is to be with this bebe. He loves cutting and pasting at this stage (3yo). Earlier today, we had bonding time putting up the stars (100 of them) on the wall. Super enjoy sya 🥰
This wall is his work of art 😍
Thank you God for the joy in our lives, even amidst Covid-19. ❤

Patience
From my devo Cheers to Diaper Years–
Jesus. Take. The. Wheel.
Yes, Lord. That’s how I’m addressing you today. Spaghetti noodles are stuck to my back, the bathtub just overflowed, and my youngest has her head stuck between the spindles on the stairs. Can you seriously come and take this wheel right now?
I need you, Lord. I always need you. When you see me start to unravel at an alarming speed, please show up in the way that only you can. Reach out and rescue me from drowning in another episode of Mommy mania.
Please give me patience on a daily basis. Give me the courage to suppress outbursts and instead respond with love. Give me the ability to “walk the walks” of understanding and kindness and model that kind of behavior in front of my kids. I understand the “monkey see, monkey do” game more than ever. Give me the strength to set the best example I can for my children to follow. Help me lean into the hope found in the truth that every day will not be great, but there will be something great in every day.
Grant me the power to rise above the noise and embrace the silent goodness found in you.
All my love,
Frazzled and Frantic
Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

1.12.2020 | Amazing Grace | Justifying Grace
God’s grace saves us, justifies us, renews us and gives us hope for eternal life.
- Familiarity can diminish value of what is previously “amazing”.
- We need to be refreshed.
Remember: God saved us from this situation:
1.6.2020 | Amazing Grace | P&F Day 1
Lord, if there is junk in my heart, please get rid of it. Help me to get rid of it through Your grace. Change us, conform us in the image of Your Son, by Your grace.
- Ultimate acceptance is when we face God. But that is assured now, because of God’s justifying grace. Believe and don’t worry!
- Not on the basis of what you’ve done but on the righteousness given by God already.
- Not wishful thinking (positive optimism); but sure hope that you can expect from God (there is certainty because of His promises sealed with the bood of His Son).
- Eternal life has already started here and now when I was justified by His Grace. Receive it.
- I am an heir to everything that has been promised as part of the package of the eternal life given by Jesus Christ. If we understand this, it changes how we pray. Not “sana Lord, kung pagbibigyan mo ako”..
- Do not write your faith goals on the basis of human optimism BUT AS AN HEIR.
- Ask instead — Lord, what is my inheritance this year? As heir, what do you want me Lord to experience, walk in this year?

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
1.5.2020 | Seek God’s Kingdom
“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:31-33 NLT
