A Letter to You, from Solitude

Hello there...

I haven't heard from you awhile. I hope everything is okay...

I feel like your days are beset with deadlines and to-dos... your mind is wired to do the next thing immediately after you are done with something.

If you are not hustling, then you are not doing enough.

If you are not exasperated, then you have to work harder.

Pauses and rest have taken a bad rep for you over the years.

You cringe at the idea of having to slow down.

You run to the next big thing if someone suggests that you take a rest.

But could it be that you keep running away from me because you have grown scared of the pauses and the stops your soul needs?

Could it be that you are in fact more scared to slow down and take a long and hard look at your heart, at the depths of your soul, that to run for hours on end is a more appealing thought?

Could it be that you are escaping having to answer the hard questions because you don’t really know the answers and you don’t even know where to start?

The digital age has provided an escape, a fortress, to hide yourself in and you have held on to it like a lifesaver thrown at you in an open sea, when it reality, it is the very current that pulls you down — drowning you.

I know it may be hard to hear all I have to say but I just have to put it out there.

There is a reason why I was created — I am a place for you to rest your soul. I am the perfect time to check your heart and to reflect on what God is doing in your life.

I am a place for the courageous, for the brave enough to see their mistakes and shortcomings and to surrender it to the One who can make everything right again.

I am place for beauty, for newness and for fresh air.

I am place that God calls you into...

Constantly.

Consistently.

Daily.

...and I am a place that He calls you into today.

I hope to hear from you soon...

Call me back?

Passionately Curious

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

It's Perfectly Fine Not to Say Anything

Last weekend, we went to this Starbucks branch in Tagaytay and it was really lovely. It was situated below a steep driveway, and unless you know where to look, it would be quite easy to miss. But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.

Ligawan Stage So this is the part where Dennis already laid down his intentions, and I said yes to courtship. I’ll share here the things we learned and what God taught us during this season. Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:

Celebrate joy!
