Hi everyone. It has been four months since I posted something here on my blog. It has been lots of super busy days and lots of challenges and difficulties, but with lots of happy days too. Everything is a lot! Praise the Lord for the good days and bad days! 

My second year of teaching here in th US has been more challenging and hard to the point of giving up and questioning my ability and all those years of experience I gained back in the Philippines. It feels more like I am back to zero. I guess that is how it is. Teaching in the US introduced a different environment, culture, and diverse set of colleagues and students. I just do the best I could as a teacher. I always pray to God to give strength, endurance, patience and wisdom to survive every school day, every class period,levery encounter with my colleagues and students. I surrender every single day to God and cry to Him for help.

At the age of 34, I have my first boyfriend. It was a long waiting season for me. I had always wonder what it was like to have someone special, aside from my family of course. My friends had their boyfriend and my sister and they eventually got married. I am genuinely happy for them, always been, yet there was a part of me that persistently wonder what it would be like to have a boyfriend or get married.

We started dating January of 2024 and it was a nerve-wracking but exciting new chapter of my life. This dating season in my life was one of the many things I prayed for. Everything that I have and I don't have is an answered prayered. Then, here came a lot of overthinking when the dating gets going. 

I always tell God if it is not from Him and not for me, please take it away from me. I know it is going to be a hard process. Letting go is always a difficult job to do. So far He wants me to be in this season.

This year has been good to me and my family. I thank God for being with us as we went through arduos challenges and joyful moments in our lives. It has been an overwhelming year for me, but thank You God.
