Fitness Goals

Day 1 (Jucyn)

Hubby and I decided to get fit and healthier, yey! We have to make this intentional as we need to develop a healthier lifestyle especially that we are still in the midst of a pandemic.

I am good with the aloe, tea and shake as breakfast replacement. And so far, feeling ok 🙂

Eternal Perspective

Lord, help me to fix my eyes on eternal life with you. So that I will be reminded that everything that happens now are but fleeting circumstances and that what you have promised to us in eternity is good and perfect.

Thank you for reminding me that YOU are Sovereign above ALL things and that your goodness prevails until ETERNITY.

Covid-19

New Normal Grocery

Posting here about this to remember our new normal in going to the groceries. This is one of the few times that I went to grocery with Hubby, as I find it exhausting with all our “ritual-after-going-out” now given the Covid-19 situation.

I really miss the carefree days. These are just some of the steps we do in somehow minimizing the risk:

  1. Mask, faceshield, OA alcohol, and social distancing when outside. DON’T roll down the windows when at the gasoline station.
  2. Specific mall bag for use outside, with only minimum stuff.
  3. Specific area only near the door for shoes used outside.
  4. Ligo RIGHT AWAY as soon as entering the condo. Diretso sa CR, walang hahawakan na anything.
  5. Clothes are soaked in soap and water right away.
  6. Bag used is left in the designated are and CANNOT BE TOUCHED.
  7. Groceries are left for few days in the car, or those brought up need to be washed in soapy water. Hay grabe, every chichiria! So I asked hubby to buy in bulk so it has sealed plastic.

Pretty Butterfly

We’ve been waiting for a week now. The green caterpillar🐛 turned into a cocoon. It loved the calamansi plant 🥰

This morning, when Johan checked, the cocoon was empty. Waaa, buti na lang she is still there.

How to keep it? Sad daw si Johan pag di bumalik 😬 #amazing #ScienceInOurBalcony

Hi pretty butterfly! 🦋 -Johan

Nanay Chronicles

Throwback: First Time Nanay

[Hubby and I are both in this mood of “upload-everything-in-Smugmug-NOW” and I came across this photos.]

It’s been 3 years and I can just smile remembering how aligaga I was as first time Nanay. Making sure that my breastmilk are not wasted when I am in the office, I posted these schedule in the walls of our rented condo with all my praning reminders, mostly for Ate Len and Mama Fely (who are taking care of Johan when I’m at work).

Trusting this schedule, Johan was not out of breastmilk even if I was not an over supplier.

Thank you Lord for the grace and guiding us through this period 🙂

Devo | Eternal God

Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away. Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.Psalms 90:10‭-‬12 NLT

Psalm 90 includes multiple reminders that humankind is not by nature eternal. The psalmist, identified as Moses in the superscription, noted that it generally takes 70 or 80 years for humans to turn back to dust (vv. 3,10). In light of this, he prayed that God would help his people to number their days (v. 12).

God is eternal. Humans are not, due to their fallen nature. A merciful Jesus interrupts the ordinary nature of things, declaring, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (Jn 17:3). Only an eternal God could give eternal life. Only an eternal and merciful God would.

God is eternal. Without Jesus’ mercy and LOVE, we will not be able to cross that bridge from sin to salvation. Jesus is my Savior. God is sovereign!


Jesus, in my humanness I cannot understand eternity, but I do not have to understand it to believe in it. Thank you for gifting me with forever.

Teach me, dear Jesus, to number my days. and live it to the full (glorifying You, my God).

Amen.

Devo | Sin

My God is a loving God. He forgives my sins, even before I asked for it. He knows my ❤ Jesus took my sins so I can live.

Jesus, forgive me for my rebellion, my unbelief, and my arrogance. Thank you for living the perfect life that made my salvation possible. Amen.
