I am faced with temptation every single day. I am tempted to eat more than my tummy could contain, to eat more sweets after meals. I am tempted to lose my patience with my children, to speak to them with a harsh voice. I am tempted to let the day take over my attitude and goals, to not make time to read the Bible. See, temptations are very common in life. And sometimes, we see them as being so simple that we think that we can conquer them all by ourselves. If these temptations are already a part … [Read more...]
Heart, Cymplified!
"Heart, don't fail me now Courage, don't desert me Don't turn back now that you're here." - song from the movie Anastasia This part of the song described what I was telling my heart. Over and over again, whenever I am met with difficulty. We welcomed the new year with noise from the fireworks, and with a lot of coughing and more often than not, crying. My children caught some kind of bug and we had to resort to antibiotics. I am thankful that their pediatrician was in yesterday so we … [Read more...]
Lesson From Caleb {Love In A Cymple Action}, Cymplified!
My heart melted when my baby boy Caleb brushed my hair out of my face. A super cymple gesture but I felt super loved. *sigh* Not being able to say "I love you" doesn't hinder him from expressing his affection. 1 John 3:18 (NIV) Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. … [Read more...]
An Un-forgotten Anniversary, Cymplified!
Warning: Cheese overload! Exactly 11 years ago, on a much cooler afternoon, after satisfying a "prerequisite" I set, he asked me this question on a ride in the IKOT jeep, "Do you accept me as your boyfriend?" He was my very first. And also my last. Five years later, he became my ex-boyfriend. Because, five years later, we were exchanging vows on the altar of NMEC. It surprises me to realize how long I have known him. Who knew that a stranger whom I met online could be my … [Read more...]
Contentment and Ambitions, Cymplified!
In between counting my blessings and drafting goals for my family, I came across these questions that I hopefully could find the answers to, if it is God's will. Contented \kən-ˈten-təd\ adjective : feeling or showing satisfaction with one's possessions, status, or situation If a person's basic needs, which are a roof over his head, clean clothes on his back and food for every day, are supplied, should he be content? 1 Timothy 6:5-7 (NIV) 5 and constant friction between people of … [Read more...]
Tangled, Cymplified!
I loved Tangled the first time I saw it! The cast was adorable, especially Maximus. I think that as more Disney princess movies were made, the princesses have more personality. The music for the part where Rapunzel and the townsfolk were dancing reminds me so much of an instrumental track in The Corrs' album. This led me to conclude that they might be Irish. Then again, I might be wrong. If you love Disney's Tangled, there's a cute blog about it, welovetangled.tumblr.com. The problem … [Read more...]
Embrace The Season, Cymplified!
Doubting... ...is how I find myself some days. And who wouldn't, when the children get sick? When my pre-schooler gets mad at me, and I am at a loss how to respond. When my one-year-old doesn't speak yet and I wonder why. When my baby cries and somehow I cannot seem to soothe her. Questions cloud my mind. Am I doing something wrong? Am I really cut out for motherhood? I would wonder why God gave me three children when I seem to be a terrible mom. One thing leads to another and … [Read more...]
