They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, (1 Timothy 6:18 ESV) See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. (1 Thessalonians 5:15 ESV) Since we are all created in the image of God, I believe that people are innately good. But, how to remain good is the question. Humans are like flowers. To bloom beautifully, they must be planted on good soil - good foundation, must be watered - soaked in … [Read more...]
Respectfulness, Cymplified!
The best way to teach a lesson to a child is to model it. But, it is much easier said than done! I want to share this Parenting With Wisdom devotional I completed.

God’s Character, Cymplified!
What traits of God assure you the most? What promises of His attributes do you hold on to the tightest? Do you find comfort in God's character? According to Joyce Meyer, 1. Justice: God is a God of justice. That word justice is so awesome because it means that He will always make anything that's wrong right. This helps me to not worry when I am mistreated because I know God will bring justice. It's who He is. 2. Goodness: God is good, this fact never changes. And He's good all the time, … [Read more...]
Thank You, God, for Blessing Me by Max Lucado, Illustrated by Frank Endersby, Cymplified!
Thank You, God, for Blessing Me is a children's e-book for children two to six years old. It's about a plump caterpillar called Little Hermie praying to God.

Trusting Issues, Cymplified!
Do you know what's humbling? Knowing that someone trusts you completely and absolutely. My son loves to stand on the edge of our bed, call my attention and fall into my outstretched arms. What if I changed my mind and decided not to catch him? He doesn't think of that. A child-like trust is wonderful, and God likes that from us. Do you know what I realized the other day? When we commute: ride a taxi, a jeepney, the LRT or a tricycle, we are placing our lives in the hands of the drivers and … [Read more...]

My word for this year is shine. One way I want to shine is to read the Bible each day to fuel me to be a better follower of Jesus Christ.
