| My life |
I am a full-time wife to a deacon and a mother to two daughters. Every day, I deal with preparing coffee for
my husband, cleaning up my toddler’s mess, changing my 5 month old’s soiled
diapers, and more. Not very
sophisticated, I know, and it could even be sometimes frustrating. There are moments when I wish I could spend
my days meeting clients at Starbucks, spending my salary on those oh-so-lovely 4-inch
stilettos, or taking a side trip to Boracay with the barkada, just like what my friends are doing.
But then again, there are more
moments when I realize how blessed I am for the life I have now. Seeing my baby’s toothless ear-to-ear smiles,
watching my toddler do things on her own such as putting her dirty clothes in
the hamper, and hearing my husband say, “You’re so beautiful!”—all of these are
incomparable to anything in this world, not even to a trip to Paris! Having married a God-fearing husband and
being blessed with two beautiful daughters, I realize what I have
achieved. And I can say that I have
achieved much. My family is my greatest
treasure.
This ministry of marriage and motherhood is never an easy feat, but it
is an anointed calling. I may not be a
big-time business tycoon or a famous celebrity as the world identifies
“successful” to be, but I couldn’t thank God enough for transforming me into a
wife and a mother who desires nothing but the best for her family. Still a long way to go, I know, but because God
has called me into this ministry, I know that He will provide all the love,
faith, and patience I need to be the best wife and mother I can be.
