This is a poem I wrote on one of my difficult nights back in 2019. I couldn’t be more troubled. My plans were collapsing one after another. I knew I needed to trust God. My head knew that God was in control. But my heart was so troubled, so afraid. That’s when I woke up and began to write. I poured my heart out to God and wrote a poem to convince myself of the faith I desperately needed to hold on to. Today I am taking you back in time- 2019. My old self. The part of me that thought trusting God was scary. I had a plan- 100%…
19 Things I’ve learned in 19 years
According to my birth certificate, I turned 19 last week. I’m still dealing with it because sometimes I feel like I’m 30, and sometimes 8. I’ll soon be 21 and while people say twenties are the finest years of life, I dread it sometimes. Until then, I guess I’m qualified enough to give you 19 pieces of my best advice. Here’s 19 things I’ve learned at 19 years of age. 1. Your parents will always be the best people in your life: If there’s anything I have REALLY learned in 19 years, it is respect for parents. This might not hold true for everyone out there, but 90% of the time,…
Mother Mary put me on the plane
If I could do one thing and never fail at it, I would be a pilot. Or a flight attendant. Even though I’m not good at math, I’d like to imagine myself in a crisp white shirt (which I’d wash in a washing machine because I’d because rich). And flashing across an overcrowded airport in a pilot’s uniform never hurt anyone, right? My point is, I’ve been fascinated by airplanes ever since I can remember. Every time a plan flew over my head in the sky, I would keep looking at it until it was out of sight. I had tears in my eyes when we were hovering over Hong…
Should/ Can I be a religious nun?
Spoiler alert: I’m being hinted towards religious life. I keep thinking, “Should I become a religious nun?” Reality check: It’s not confirmed. Grade 6: I really liked sitting on the front benches at Catechism class in school (unlike Math class). I’d raise my hand up at every question so I could answer as many. One such day at class, the teacher was speaking about Priests and Nuns. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. Matthew 19:29. “Nuns and Priests go to heaven.”…
Why I started blogging
I’ll be honest with you. And I’ll get straight to the point. I never chose blogging. Blogging chose me. Wait. Let me rephrase that: Jesus chose Blogging for me. I’ve always been the kind of girl with multiple interests. I usually tire of what I do after a while. Not one to stick around. Maybe that’s why I am never able to clearly choose what I want to study in College. Indecisiveness stands firm. Multiple interests. Sometimes, I want to be cooking for Ritz Carlton. Other times, I want to be discovering statues on the seabed. I want to be selfless. Like Mother Teresa. I also want to be the…
