She sat on their leather sofa and placed her head on the arm rest. When she was younger, she used to daydream, a lot! Nowadays, just a few minutes of being seated, staring into space, letting random thoughts rush through her brain was becoming quite the luxury. Her eyes moved to the plates with cookies, croissants and a pie. There were toppled plastic cups, a kettle and several vegetables. All of these were scattered on the floor, next to the white and violet dollhouse where they belong. The … [Read more...]
Focus On Love, Cymplified!
She rolled to her right and opened her eyes. She sighed as she stared at the not really cream, not quite yellow wall. Bare concrete was exposed where a large piece of paint used to be. Cellophane tape held a couple of little paint chips that almost fell off. Smudges of discoloration drew maps on the upper part of the wall and lines on the lower part. Evidence of rainwater that once seeped from the ceiling down the wall was not fully wiped off. A lone hole made by a nail gazed back at her. The … [Read more...]
Gentleness, Cymplified!
My wish is that my children will live out kindness. As a follower of Jesus, I need to be a good role model of kindness for them.

These are the ways that God directs me: Through His Word Psalm … [Read more...]
Faithfulness, Cymplified!
One of the characteristics of God that assures me of His unceasing love is that He's faithful. Because of this, I can be strong in the Lord. My strength comes from God and not from my abilities.

Hebrews 10: 23, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.", tells me that God is faithful. I can see faithfulness in God's creation, in nature, as the sun … [Read more...]

Gift of Guidance, Cymplified!
Being a mother, I am witnessing firsthand the fallen nature of humans. I see it in my children. When they grab a toy from their sibling's hands, they display inconsideration. When they complain of not having the toys they want, they show discontentment. When they don't do simple things for themselves and always ask someone else to get their cup of water, they model laziness. When they voice out that they are better than their peers and that their classmate draws ugly pictures, they speak words … [Read more...]
