Jasmine B. Suiza /  May 15, 2020 Marami kang time ngayon, no? Habang #QuarantineLife ang ganap nating lahat, ano ba ang pinagkaka-abalahan mo? Matulog?

Mabuti naman at nagagamit mo na ang mga natutunan mo sa TLE nung High School. Nakakatakam nga yung mga Facebook stories at posts mo ng mga masasarap na pagkain. Mag-workout? Congrats at tuloy ang #summerbodygoals kahit nasa loob ka lang ng bahay. Online workout muna ngayon habang sarado pa ang mga gym at sports centers. Mag-bonding kasama ang pamilya? Marami ka nang oras para mag-catch up sa mga namiss mong pangyayari sa buhay nila. Mahaba-haba na ang halos 3 months para makapag-kwentuhan uli kayo. Mag-online games? Nagpapataas ka ba ng MMR sa DoTA o nagpapa-rank up sa Mobile Legends? Masayang libangan din yan kasama ang mga barkada. Mag-movie or series marathon? Sino ba namang hin

Jasmine B. Suiza / February 13, 2020 "What you earn will never be enough to support your family." "You're a sinner. You will never be worthy to serve the Lord." "You're unlovable. You're doomed to be an old maid." Oftentimes, these thoughts haunt me, and believe me, it was never easy. Living with anxiety has led me to always worry, fear, and be moody - among many other negative effects. I feel like I am in a prison - without a bail. It hit me hard when Bro. Nio said, "Believe that Jesus has unlocked your prison." That's it! I know I am in prison, but I fail to fully believe that Jesus has freed me. I realized that to be fully free is to trust in the Lord's promises of forgiveness and unconditional love. Whenever I feel bound by these chains, all I have to do is ask for peace and strength from the Lord. Beyond my prison of worries and doubts, the Lord affirms me that: "What

Jasmine B. Suiza /  November 8, 2019 There was a phase in my life that I felt so disconnected from all of my relationships - with myself, my loved ones, and even from God. I felt like I was a different person. I was far from the 'Jasmine' that I know. My once happy life all came crumbling down in front of me, and I know what I had to do. I had to change my ways. But this time, it has to be real. I had to start somewhere. I decided that the first step that I should take is to resign from a job that pays me well. "Paano kung wala na akong mahanap na magandang trabaho?" "Saan ako kukuha ng pang-gastos?" "Di na ako makakatulong sa pamilya ko." There were so many thoughts running through my head. But I brushed them all off. "Lord, Ikaw na po ang bahala." I placed my full trust and faith in the Lord. I just surrendered everything in His hands.
