I could relate with @iamaimeediego when she said in one of her posts that she had a creative itch but didn't know how to express it. I feel like I am stuck in a creative funk lately, but I am not currently working on anything. I feel like I should be creating something: poems? painting? crafts? I used to think that I have a creative soul, although I am all thumbs with crafts and gift-wrapping But seeing other people create something beautiful, something people like instantly, well, it just … [Read more...]
Wedding And Marriage Thoughts, Cymplified!
One of my cousins from my dad's side got married last week. Beautiful wedding. It brought to mind memories of my own wedding... And the several things I wanted to change: The proposal. One of my wedding entourage. The way I held my father's arm while walking down the aisle. The photographer. Where we took photos after the ceremony. The time the reception started. The host. My speech. I didn't know better then. We didn't have a wedding coordinator. I didn't know I was going to give a … [Read more...]
In Her Shoes, Cymplified!
The result of being compared with other people who were seemingly more beautiful, more talented and smarter was a girl who is insecure, who isn't sure of what she really wanted and who is striving to be someone else. Her decisions were made for her. She was living a meaningless and purposeless life. She was willing to settle for mediocrity. There was a span of time when she was following one of her schoolmates from high school on Facebook. She would read about a fairytale wedding, the expensive … [Read more...]
Goodness, Cymplified!
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...]
Confidence, Cymplified!
For me, confidence is a destination that needed to be journeyed to. There may be some people who were born with confidence, but I am not one of them. How can I say that I am not confident? Feelings of insecurity and self-doubt were surfacing. I kept second-guessing myself and my decisions. I was uncertain about what I really, really like or want. I believed that I was mediocre in comparison to others who are more intelligent, more talented and have more things in their possession. I was always … [Read more...]
Exercise To Shine, Cymplified!
My one word for this year is 'shine'. One way I could shine is to make myself better in the aspects of being a mother, a wife, and especially, a follower of Christ. One of the ways to make myself better at my roles is to keep myself healthy. One of the ways I could take care of my body is to get exercise. I am not feeling good about myself most of the time. I feel so heavy, slow and very unhealthy! That's when I knew I really need exercise to shine. Lessening my food intake doesn't work for me … [Read more...]
