The way to go

We’re at a season with our 2 kiddos na ubos ubos lakas talaga pero super saya din naman at the same time. Super active at masayahin ang mga batuta nmin and they really give LIFE and ENERGY to our home. Maraming pagkakataon na gigil na gigil kme sa pagka-cute nila at minsan nman ay gigil sa pagkayamot tuwing mag-aaway, iyakan o tantrum sila. But we are really enjoying every time with them—every kulitan, lambingan, tawanan, kiss, hug, piggy-back ride, stroll, storytime, playtime, bathtime, naptime, prayertime, arts or writing time—ALL THE TIME!
We can’t do parenting all by ourselves. Buti nlng talaga andyan si LORD para magbigay lakas, gabay, kalinga, pagmamahal, dunong at magtuwid sa amin. Dalangin lang namin na lumaki silang puno ng pag-ibig sa Panginoon at sa kapwa.

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

Train up a child in the way he should go - The Hebrew of this clause is “chanac”, which we translate “train up or initiate”, signifies also “dedicate”; and is often used for consecrating any thing, house, or person, to the service of God. Dedicate, therefore, in the first instance, your child to God; and nurse, teach, and discipline him as God's child, whom He has entrusted to your care. These things observed, and illustrated by your own conduct, the child (you have God's word for it) will never depart from the path of life.

Safe Place

[Psalm 62:5-8 MSG]
"God, the One and Only—
I’ll wait as long as He says.
Everything I hope for comes from Him,
so why not?
He’s solid rock under my feet,
breathing room for my soul,
An impregnable castle:
I’m set for life.
My help and glory are in God
—granite-strength and safe-harbor-God—
So trust Him absolutely, people;
lay your lives on the line for Him.
God is a safe place to be."

You're Mine & I'm Yours

[Isaiah 43:1-4 MSG]
"But now, God’s Message,
the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One who got you started, Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That’s how much you mean to me!
That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
trade the creation just for you."

♪♫ What if Your blessings come
through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
this world can’t satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise ♪♫

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
[Matthew‬ ‭5:13-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬]
