I Surrender.

The past few weeks -- err, months actually (!) have been super hectic, and I have found myself distraught at times over the "juggling act" that I have been doing lately. I'd forgotten how erratic routines and schedules can be with a baby at home, and to be completely honest with y'all, it's been tough. Add … Continue reading I Surrender.

One Question You Should Ask Yourself Every Day

I was recently honored to have been invited to an intimate gathering of women -- of moms actually -- organized by Moleskine Philippines and 100% Whole Mom. As a post-Mother's Day celebration of sorts, we were treated to a relaxing afternoon of getting to know one another, of learning, and of listening (and eating delicious … Continue reading One Question You Should Ask Yourself Every Day

When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayers

I gave birth to our fourth child last January... our fourth blessing from the Lord. In most ways, it was the birth I, along with the rest of my family, had been praying for: unmedicated, "normal," and as "gentle" as could be, considering it was in a hospital set-up.

What I Struggle With Every Day

Yesterday, I posted this on my Facebook page:   I wanted to remind myself that my life — this "truly rich" life I claim to have now — only exists because of His grace. I have actually been meaning to write a post about just how dirty and muddy my life used to be. I'll get around … Continue reading What I Struggle With Every Day

Truly Rich Reflections: What Is Our Faith All About?

At Mass yesterday, the priest spoke about our Catholic faith, and asked us, the congregation, whether or not we were happy with the things we do as part of being Catholic. You know -- go to Mass, pray (including praying the Rosary, novenas, etc.), getting our kids baptized, getting confirmed, getting married in church, praying … Continue reading Truly Rich Reflections: What Is Our Faith All About?
