Faith Over Overthinking

When Jacob met Esau once again…

The result? When you know, you know 😁

A journey where he still had to face it and not run away...choosing faith and obedience regardless of the thoughts and anxieties within.

Sometimes the fear in our mind is greater than what is actually ahead of us..💙

Newbie MLB fan here 😁

I was never a fan of baseball—I always find it boring and not really my thing. I prefer basketball, volleyball, tennis, and ONE Championship more.

But then I started hearing about Shohei Ohtani—clips calling him the GOAT, showing his amazing performances as a two-way player, and all the hype around him. I got curious, searched about him, and started watching his games.

That’s when I tried watching the World Series, and for the first time, baseball actually caught my interest. I started learning the rules just so I could understand the game better.

And now… I’ve become a baseball fan. My goodness, what used to feel boring has turned into an adventure. I even wake up at 2 AM just to watch the LA Dodgers. Every game feels like a win-or-die situation, even if it’s just the regular season 😂

And it’s not just Shohei Ohtani anymore—I’ve grown to love the whole team too: Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Miguel Rojas, Freddie Freeman ,Andy Pages, and the rest of the squad, even Manager Dave Roberts.

What an MLB journey😁

Just sharing😉

Learned baseball because of Shohei Ohtani (out of curiosity)

A reflection of the Life of Leah(Jacob's wife)

Genesis 39-30

(Note:This reflection focuses on the message of the story. The context during that time was imperfect, but the emphasis is on the truth it reveals—God’s faithfulness, love, and care even in human weakness and brokenness.)

Leah’s journey reflects the quiet struggles of many women—emotional pain, wounds, hidden longings, and deep insecurities. She was not described as physically beautiful according to the world’s standard, and in the same way, many women—including me—struggle with self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. That’s why I can deeply relate to her story.

Leah also made a lot of decisions driven by insecurity and the desire for acceptance—choices that were not always right, but very human. In the same way, many of us women can find ourselves acting out of wrong motives when we feel unseen, unloved, or not enough.

Yet in Leah’s life, we also see a God who never leaves. Even in weakness, mistakes, and emotional struggle, He sees, He cares, and He loves. He responds in ways that show He is always aware of us—kahit ano pa ang pinagdadaanan natin.

God sees me even when no one sees me. He cares for me and values me even when the world does not. He gave His Son Jesus Christ to die for me—proof of a love that is greater than anything I have lacked or not received in this world.

This becomes my reason not to leave a life that honors and loves Him, but to keep going and trust Him. It is also my reason to continue living with hope, and to enjoy what He has prepared for me.

Even in my weaknesses, insecurities, and struggles, His love remains constant. And because of that, I am reminded that His love outweighs every insecurity, every disappointment, and every feeling of not being enough. In Him, I am already seen, known, and deeply loved.

Knowing this truth, how can I give up? Why would I stay down and remain defeated? If God sees me, values me, and loves me this deeply—then my life is not without meaning, and my struggles are not the end of my story.

So instead of staying in defeat, I choose to keep going. Not because everything is easy, but because I am deeply loved, and that love gives me reason to rise again, trust Him, and move forward with hope.
