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.
