Dear Daddy,
It's a beautiful day Daddy. A lot of things to do today for your kingdom.
As I grow longer in serving You Father, even doing the laundry can a service to You Lord.
I'm not my usual self this morning Dad, due to my cough and phlegm. My energy is not really the same. But I know if seek it inside me I can still harness that inner strength.
Also thank you Daddy for the gospel and readings today. It is another way for me to get guidance and reflection.
These past days Daddy, I have been really carrying this burden in my heart towards Mamai. I'm having really a hard time trying to be patient with her. As well as on how to understand her situation.
The worst part is, she doesn't talk to me that much anymore. Or I just got tired of listening to her complaints about how hard her pregnancy is, as well is watching and take care of Ellie.
I try to ask for her cooperation but hardly able to get even her attention. I no longer even get encouragement from her.
I'm not sure if I can keep being patient with her. Especially on attending to her needs alone while forsaking my needs as well.
Dad, I really need encouragement from You. As well as enlighten on what to do. Furthermore I am really doing pretty bad financially. I am gaining more and more debts, instead of growing my savings.
My health is not that vibrant. I'm gaining more and more weight. I can't be consistent with my prayer time. I don't even have a deep relationship with myself.
I badly need your grace and guidance right now Daddy.

Personal Reflections on Family Challenges
Dear Daddy,
Good morning Dad. In today's gospel my personal reflection is giving me focus on this verse - "But I am not alone, because the Father is with me".
Thank you so much for that reminder Daddy....
I know I have doubting your presence, lately. Especially with Ellie's situation right now. Although I know that I have to be always faithful and full of gratitude always.
I know I should be thankful always and always focus on the blessings that you have given us. That the 90% in our lives is blessing and only 10% are challenges.
But I know you have seen what is in my heart Dad. You know that I am doubtful and I worry for ellie. Especially at night Daddy when she has difficulty in breathing. Luoy kaayu Daddy. Father I thank You for everything that you have given me, even for ellie's situation right now. But Dad, I ask please heal her Dad. I don't I have the strength to see her like this.
Also Dad, for whatever wisdom that You want us to learn, grant me and mayden the grace to learn it fast. Please please please grant ellie your healing.
In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Personal Reflections on Growth
Dear Daddy,
Hi Dad, I totally missed talking to you on daily journal and reflection. Months have passed.
Life is always great. My business is doing good. Slowly stabilizing and making good income. My family life has been fun and full of love. My daughter growing more beautiful and happiest everyday. My wife, getting lovely by the day. My spiritual life, continuously growing.
I still have a lot of failures though. Yet, after struggling for a certain period of time. I always get up and start again.
Daddy, I believe life is meant for my growth. It is also the main reason why I will continuously have challenges, failure, success, sadness, sin, happiness, grief, etc.
Life will always be a journey towards finding who we are, and how we can serve you best, Daddy.
Today the gospel reminds me that to seek you, I just need to look at Jesus. For no one goes to the father except through the son.
He continuously guides and works with me patiently through the holy spirit so that I always come closer to you.
Daddy, thank you so much for love. I love you always. I know that I will continuously grow in becoming a better servant of your kingdom.
In Jesus name, amen.

Personal Reflections on Having Daily Journal
Dear Daddy,
It is really a good reliazation for me that I should be journalizing everyday, at least maybe once a day.
Today's reflection made me think of really focusing on my self love everyday. In which, I should be reflective of how I loved myself in a day.
For today, I don't think I gave myself that much love. I just realize this when I was riding the jeepney. One of the main reasons why I am easily hurt, even with the words from my wife.
I know that with personal conversations with you and personal reflections, I get renew that love for myself. The thought that you love me as your own son alone, is an enormous amount love that makes me feel secure everyday. But I need to remind myself of that everyday.
Also today, what I realize is about my income. Have I become better or earned better with my team or did I remain the same. Is working with my current team helping me or is it pulling me down? A very good question that I should be asking in myself.
Or has my team made me complacent than I already am?
I know I have to continuously reflect on this. Mostly what has happen is it has fed my ego due to that fact that I am recognize by both team and people looking up to our team as well. Thinking really helps me quantify my feelings and thoughts. As well as it also helps me on my decision making.
Again, I will continuously reflect on this. I ask of You Daddy, please grant me Your grace in my decision making process.
I love you Lord, I ask that may You bless that I become more like Bro. Jesus everyday.
Amen.

Personal Reflection on My own Personal FEARS
Dear Daddy,
Hi Dad, it’s been really quite a while since I have written in my personal journal of my life. As always this has been my beginning line if ever there is a time that I stop writing my journals.
First and foremost, I am very sorry and I am in fact guilty that I wasn’t able to go to church this day. It’s supposed to be as Sunday, and I am supposed to spend with you on this special day. Even though I know that you have forgiven me, I still am really sorry.
Secondly, I write this journal because I again want to reflect. Why in the world have I achieve nothing in one year of my life as an entrepreneur?
I have already been faced with a lot of opportunities, yet, not a single one did give the results that I desire. I already know what I want, especially in terms of how much I want to earn. And again, opportunities are just standing right in front of me.
I know what to do, but do nothing!
Weird….
As I look within me, I slowly get a picture of what’s holding me back.
It’s fear. The most negative feeling of all. The dream killer. The deadly virus.
I think I fear a lot of things. Why? Because of the guilt I have with my sins. Because of how I was brought up. Because of the feeling to be rejected. And many more…
Because of all the reasons above, I get paralyzed.
This is all just a lie that my past experience has “taught” me. But all of my fears are not true. I have a big GOD. BIGGER than anything in this world. I FEAR NOTHING. I have INFINITE POTENTIAL. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME!
I have to look to love. In fact, not just an ordinary love. But God’s love for me. Why would I be afraid? Why would I doubt myself, when I know that God loves me. HE is at my side. He is at my future. He is at the highest moments of my life, and as well as my lowest.
Daddy, I shall continue to pursue my dreams. By your grace and love, I will anchor on that truth, that I truly have infinite potential.
I love you so much Daddy.
Your son,
Jake

Daily Personal Reflections On My Attitude
Dear Daddy,
It is great day full of blessings and today I do my personal reflections on my attitude.
I am really admitting that I have been really lazy and complacent. Why did I wait for me to get hungry, until I would act on needs seriously? It needed a very strong message from my wife and her pressuring me before I had to act.
I am really a shame of myself. Eleven months as an entrepreneur, I have nothing to show. I even got buried in debt instead of acquiring more wealth.
I have to really learn to love myself more. Only through this way will achieve success.
My being lazy ends today. I will focus on really earning what my family deserves. What my wife and daughter deserves.
I am now very hungry for earning a lot money.
I pray and ask for your blessings Daddy. Bless me with a 6-figure income by the end of October 31, 2011. I promise Lord, I will really act. No more vague commitments.
All of this I ask in Jesus Name.
Amen.

Personal Reflections on Life's Challenges
Dear Daddy,
It has been a while since I have written my personal reflection. I guess, having a “great need” for your blessing can really humble any person and come to you for mercy and grace.
Father, times have been tough. Challenges are not only big in my financial life, but in my family as well. Papa hasn’t returned for more than 2 weeks now. I really understand his reasons. And Mama is really in deep pain. I don’t want to do. I want to be mad at Papa but at the same time I pity him.
He too, never felt love from his Father. I just wished He seek Your Love instead. But his choices are his own. I pray for his health and his welfare. And that my entire family will truly be able to forgive him one day.
For Mama Daddy, I pray that may you grant her strength. I know she is stronger than most women. But I also know that she is just a human. The mere fact that she shares to me that she cries in between her teaching-classes only shows that she is in deep pain. Please Lord, bless her with your grace always. If possible every second of her waking and sleeping life. I ask that you also reward her for her kindness, and loyalty to our family.
Daddy, I also come to you for a downpour of financial blessings. I believe that just like our forefathers, You have blessed us with the power of our tongue. Father, I have many dues that I need to pay. Not only that, I also have a growing family. I love them so much. As I know that you love them more. Please Father bless me with a downpour of financial blessings. I specifically ask for a 200,000 Peso monthly income.
I know my attitude is still unprepared for that kind of income. But I am taking baby steps towards changing my thinking. When I am in full control of my thinking I can change my entire life. Of course that includes my financial life.
Bless me Father, I live and breathe at your mercy always.
In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
