Womanhood and Everything in Between

Dear God, Our country has not been spared from all kinds of turmoil; war, fire, flood and earthquake. We've lost quite a number of our countrymen and a lot have been badly hurt. Homes, schools, buildings and churches were also not spared from all these. For that, we humbly ask you Almighty Father to look after those affected by these calamities and we pray for their healing and fast recovery. Father, may they find comfort in your words and see light through the compassion of others. May they learn to let go of the pain and embrace the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Bless them Lord God with more wisdom and strength so they may obtain the answers to their questions. Shower them with love so they can see reasons beyond the agony. And let them find light in the darkness of night. Heavenly God, may you give your guidance to those in Bohol, Cebu, Siquijor, Nueva Ecija, Zambales and Zamboanga, that they may be able to stand firm as they go on with their lives. May they hold-strong ...

I need a lot of them for my Baby Aerin. =( After we were discharged from the hospital last Friday, she didn't take her medicines.

Please help me pray for her fast recovery mga mare. Nahihirapan na akong nakikita syang ganito. I don't know what to do anymore. I will...

I can't remember exactly from whom I got the link to Kate's blog, Chasing Rainbows . I don't know the family personally but after reading her blog, I feel her, maybe because I am a mother. Just like Kate, I am a mother. Kate Leong met the love of her life on an unexpected trip to Puerto Rico while she was working as a Flight Attendant. They got married. And they waited and waited to be blessed with a child. After painful miscarriages and a good faith, they were blessed with an angel. Gavin was born with a number of health issues. Actually, surviving day 1 was already a big miracle for the family. And being an angel himself, he survived them all. They got pregnant again while Gavin was only 6 months old. Another baby boy came and was named Brian. Brian became Gavin's strength. The family believed that Brian became his brother's greatest therapist. Gavin struggled for his life. At age 5, I personally believed that he had fought the biggest battle that us, adults, ...
