Posted on Jul 01, 2006 under Daily Memorables |Life has been very overwhelming these past few weeks. Nope, not experiencing postpartum depression, just a bit overwhelmed with everything - the new baby, going back to work (in a graveyard shit…oops, shift, I might add), having no househelp, money matters, love matters, etc. But I am struggling and still thriving. I’m currently at the point of my life where everything I want to become and do for the rest of my life is crsytal clear. And yes, the only way I can achieve that is to declutter, detach and simplify. Simplify everything.
Edil and I celebrated our first year of married life with an argument that can match the ones you see in soap operas, and yet, we are still together, crazy, still learning, sticking it out, growing together. As I’ve said, loving is a choice. Everything is a choice. And a little disclaimer: I’m perfectly happy with my choices :P.
The two brightest spots in my life - my kids - are the ones that keep me focused, and centered, and hopeful, and strong. It is true. When they are sleeping, or doing some thing, I encounter “moments”, and I feel humbled, grateful and scared, all at once, that God gave me these precious souls to rear and take care of. Fragile, beautiful beings full of promise — and it is up to us to help them find their purpose.
Matthew and Martha are our little angels. Edil now has moments where I see glimpses of the great father he is going to be — he is learning and learning well and fast — with learning comes some great and hurtful mistakes, but yep, he is struggling and learning. As for me, Im still feeling overwhelmed, but grateful nevertheless.
I know you would never believe me if I wrote that I had an encounter with God the past week and that is the reason why despite the overwhelming situations Im in, everything is still crystal clear….so let’s just leave this little post with these choices:
a. I wrote this so I can push down the pictures from the previous post down below. They have been up for too long …LOL
b. Im being dramatic and vague because it’s 4AM and Ive just had 3 hrs sleep, and Ive yet to pump for the nth time.
c. Im just a drama queen
d. ALL of the ABOVE and I still encountered God 
Have a great weekend ahead, Im going to be working, but enjoying nevertheless. Ill be back with my old self next time.

hi aggie! God really moves in marvelous ways. He puts us in situations where we think we can’t get out of…pero that’s where He is there to help us get through it. I’d like to say im having my share of mid-life thing right now and it’s really overwhelming. pero God is good and i know He holds the master plan of our lives! muah!
