Thank you Lord for all the inspirations to do these and more. You are truly a creative God and though I may never match your brilliance, I thank you for giving me the patience to try. 

Thank you for my school, Montessori De Sagrada Familia and its administrators whose support embolden us to give our best. 

Thank you for the best workmates, the MDSF Pre-school Dept whose unwavering support is unparalleled.

Thank you for our parents for entrusting their little children to us and for partnering with us giving the best education for their children... 

Thank you Lord for the children you have entrusted to my care for their lives are irreplaceable. 


Thank you for reminding me that you have not only entrusted me with their learning, but with their lives and souls as well.

Thank you Lord because they may be tough and tiring things ahead, but Your Spirit and wisdom has gone ahead and made everything perfect in its own time.

Remind me Lord to seek you in all things and in everyday routines because through you the ordinary becomes extraordinary...

Let no works of the enemy such as laziness and other hazards prosper against me, my family, my school, my students, and my church....

No Such Thing

Our life revolves in seasons not stages. And in every season of our life, there are things taught to us, things given by us, and things we have to let go of. Because of this, we see things in our lives are not constant.

But there is one person in our life that is constant, and that is God himself. With that, I realized that there is NO SUCH THING as a season of independence of God. That is one thing that God will never put us through, a season where He is not there...

Yes there may be seasons that we may not feel Him, or we may even feel that he is not there. But like a child learning to walk, God must sometimes let go of our hand to let us walk on our own. But as our heavenly Father, he is always waiting at the wings, waiting to catch us.

So if you feel right now that you are alone, YOU ARE NOT. God is never that far away. In fact, He is just waiting to become more dependent on Him.

Rather as a sign of weakness, we are at our strongest when we learn to bow down and rely on Him... Because there is no such thing as a season of independence from God.
