It is summer time and summer rains are common to us. With the rains we've had lately, our yard needs mowing at least twice a week. When we mow, we do not get rid of all the grass. In fact, we leave some so that there would be new growth and hope for a thick lawn don't we? Last year, we've been under a drought and longed for a drop of rain. Our pond dried up. The grass was scant and the ground cracked. The leaves on the trees were a horrible sight to see. There was also an abundance of wildfires. Rain was prayed for by everyone around. Our lives were being affected. Livestock also. There seemed to be no end to the drought. Everything and everyone was perishing in some way. The Lord answered our prayers- in His timing. We are now getting the rains. The parched earth is drinking up with pleasure. The grass is so much greener. The animals are happier. The trees are healthier looking. Everything is transformed from ugly to beautiful. Rain does that to nature. You can wa...

Junk, junk and more junk- everywhere! Junk in our homes, our workplaces, in the street, in our bodies and in our lives. We can all relate to that, can't we? Even if it is something nice and it serves no real purpose in our lives, it is considered junk. I hate junk. I hate clutter. It makes me overwhelmed when I see so much stuff surrounding me. I'll be honest and say that I have a lot of junk around that I need to get rid of. How about you? Do you need to get rid of some junk too? If you do, how does it make you feel? I know when I clean up and get rid of stuff, the place looks so much nicer and it makes me feel better. Let me tell you about my hubby. He is a very hard worker. In fact, he works so hard that he can barely sit still. He is always piddling around doing some thing or the other. A couple years ago, he bought a piece of property where he can keep his growing number of farm animals. The piece of land he got had a bunch of trees and brush along with two abandoned ...

Pain can be a barrier to enjoying your life: It's been a long time since I have blogged here. It's not that I didn't want to but I just couldn't seem to make the time for it. For the past couple years and a half, I have been dealing with my health worsening from one issue to the next. As time went on, I had to deal with constant pains and going to the doctor more regularly. Now, I am taking different medications and it seems that I have been getting more added to the list. I have to take medications every day and some of the meds I would have to take for the rest of my life. These pains were causing me anxiety and worry especially since the varied tests I had to do did not yield what exactly was causing them. I constantly prayed to God about what I was going through. Some days I was okay with it. Other times when the pains became very intolerable, I would feel helpless because I was becoming incapacitated in doing the things that we all take for granted. Things li...

I was doing some spring cleaning on Friday and I came across some stuff which brought back memories. Painful memories. It wasn't something that I think about everyday but the thoughts go to that distant place every once in a while.  It was over fourteen years ago and I was thirteen weeks pregnant. My hubby and I were super excited. We already had names planned for it. We couldn't wait! Then early one January morning, I woke up with a coughing fit. It did not want to stop. Then I had one spell where I gave a big cough and sat up in bed from it. At that very moment, I felt something. I hurried to the bathroom and saw blood. I couldn't believe it! We hastened to get ready and went to the Health Department where I was a patient at that time. They took me in and I went through the check ups. They listened for heartbeat and found none. When they took an ultrasound, their suspicions were confirmed. The foetus had died. We were devastated. I was in shock. My husband and I held e...

Today is a special day for Christians all over the world. What a day to celebrate! A day when there's our Lord and Savior had conquered death and the grave. The Resurrection. We are given new birth and new life in Him if we choose to accept Him. A happy and blessed Easter to everyone! God bless!
