What Happens To Us After We Lost Our Job
*Who won't be anxious, stressed or even depressed when you lost your job in the middle of a crisis?*
I know many people have deeper and more serious problems than me but I realized something very important in this chapter of my life that I really wanted to share with you.
It's hard for me to say goodbye to my previous job but I decided to go back home and after a few days, I resigned. I tell you, things had never gone easy after this action.
At first, I tried to take a break and just enjoy. Then, I started to find for a new job but the journey has started. It was very hard for me to get a YES. Few opportunities waved at me but they didn't last long. I was stuck again. Worried and anxious about the future. I felt hopeless. I felt like a burden to my family. I kept on waiting until one day, I stood up and made a move but I still didn't get a YES. With a heavy heart, I went home. After a few moments, I saw a post from my friend about a job. I was hesitant. I was not sure of what I was doing but I did try. Well, I started to hear the word YES softly. It was a very hard start for me. I was still hesitant in the process but this is where I realized the very important thing in my life. Trust the Lord your God. He never left me and I know He will never leave me. After I passed the application process another opportunity came. Though, they made me really sick, tired, and anxious. I got standards and deadlines to meet. After I passed this test, I got another surprise from God. He gave me another job. So, all in all I have three unique and amazing jobs.
I am so blessed not only because I got three great jobs now but I am saying that I am so blessed because during that very dark moment of my life, I saw Jesus coming with a light. He rescued me. He taught me how to truly live my life. I know I made mistakes and committed sins and I still have until now. But the Lord is so good and kind. He really made me feel loved and cared. He showed miracles in my life. I am so amazed that God can turn us great from the miseries we have been through.
I hope I was able to inspire you with a glimpse of my "new normal life".
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. - Proverbs 3:5
Have a great day everyone!

**Household chores.**
Are you done doing the laundry? Cooking meals? Washing the dishes? Cleaning your entire house and backyard? Feeding the baby? Take out the trash? and so on.
I just finished doing them yesterday yet here I am again doing all of them all over again. It's driving me crazy!
Let's finish them permanently! but **HOW?**
**Create a schedule**
Your tasks will be easier to accomplish when you know when to do them. Make a **daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly to-do-list.** Also, don't forget to allot a time for some emergencies to avoid getting stressed. (Don't overload your day to day schedule) You also need some relaxation.
**Delegate the tasks**
Let's admit it, we are not superheroes. We cannot do everything all alone. We need help. So, let our family members give us a hand. For children, we can teach them to put their toys back to their proper places after playing. For teenagers, they can help us in washing the dishes, cleaning their rooms, cleaning the house and watering the plants. If they are two or more then better. They can do the tasks alternately.
**Make the tasks enjoyable**
I believe that we must do all those household chores with love. Who will eat the foods that we are cooking? Who will wear the clothes that we are washing? Who will stay in our house that we are cleaning? Our FAMILY, right?
**Use household chores as your exercise and bonding time with your family**
Let those muscles move all the way with your housework. Or take your children with you in the kitchen. Let them help in preparing your food in an enjoyable way. Don't force them if they don't want and most importantly don't command them, many children hate being commanded. Instead, create some cooking games same goes with cleaning the house.
Nothing would be difficult if you put your heart in it. I hope you get some ideas on how to do your household chores with a light heart in it. And, don't be stressed out.
How about you? How do you do your housework? Please, tell me in the comments section below.
The Small Beautiful Things in Life
***I see them everywhere. I sometimes hear them and smell them. But, I have never tasted them and I wouldn't want to.***
I'm talking about our tiny friends in nature. The different kinds of insects with wings and lots of legs that God also created. Some of them are beautiful and admired like the butterflies yet many of them look creepy and dangerous so, most of us might be annoyed or scared being surrounded by them and we sometimes wish that they would just disappear forever. But, have you asked yourself why did God create them?
The answer might be very simple. Obviously, they help in balancing our ecosystem. They help us multiply our crops, plants, and even give us food in their own little ways. Yet, in general, they don't receive appreciation or value from us. They are considered unimportant and dirty. I believe that God uses these little friends to reveal His important message to us.
These little creatures are the reflection of the people in the world. Those who have money, power, and big names are considered beautiful while the small people which are living in poverty, no regular jobs, don't have enough education receive the same negative treatment like the insects. They are often neglected or worse, accused.
I'm sharing these ideas to you to help you open your eyes to clearly see the truth that the *****Real Beauty of the World is in little things***** like those people and insects mentioned above. They have a glamour that nobody can take away. Let us not be blinded by superficial things.

They are all in my Head!
I was trying to sleep. 1 2 3... It was already 3 am but I still couldn't sleep!
What's wrong with me again? I was supposed to be sleeping early with all the house and farm work I've done throughout the day. Yet, I was still wide awake. There is only one meaning to that.
Anxiety attack!!!
I really dislike this feeling of being anxious about certain things in the future. I collected all my positive thoughts to ease this pain. But, they seemed not working.
I believe it's not only me suffering in this kind of situation. Many people out there are also anxious about many things in their life. (Work, Business, Children, Money, Family and a bunch more.)
But, why do we spend so much time worrying about those things? Can we get the solutions to our problems when we think about them too much? Can we earn more money when we fear what might happen in the future? Nobody from us has the answer so why keep bothering our very tired body and soul?
Instead, close your eyes; take a deep breath ; and, call Him. Surrender to our Almighty God all the sufferings, pain, anxiety, fear, and uncertainties that you have. Cry, if it will make you feel better. Embrace His holy presence. And, on the next day, you will wake up with a brand new spirit. Ready to conquer the challenges of life with the help of our Father in heaven.
With this article, I hope that I am able to help you with the burdens you are carrying my friend. Please, tell me how you cope with anxiety. I will wait for your answer in the comment section below.
What is your dream house like?
Spacious, comfortable, safe,and clean are just some of the descriptions people would say about their dream house. It is truly amazing how our imagination works with such thing. We exert much effort in order to build it right. We work hard and spend all our money to make it beautiful. But, is that really all?
I also asked myself "What is your dream house like?" My imagination began to work. I saw my parents and my siblings in a simple yet comfortable house. We were eating happily in our dining table. Sharing stories about our day. I felt warm. My eyes were teary. I felt Love and I told myself "This is my dream house!"
Now, look at your house. Look at its every corner. How do you feel about it? Look at the people living with you in that house. Do you feel the love?
Please comment down below what your dream house is like?
I'm looking forward to your answers.
A Glimpse of the Land of Smiles
This is a continuation of my article about our first trip abroad.
Here are some of the pictures we've taken during our stay.
I hope you enjoy looking at those pictures. Till the next article!
Thank you!
Our first trip abroad taught us lessons
Have you been to a trip abroad?
Where did you go?
How was your experience?
What did you learn about that trip?
March 2018, I and my best friend flew to Thailand for a short vacation. It was our first ever trip abroad. We were so delighted! We thought we're all prepared but as time went by some problems started to show up which taught us very important lessons in life especially in travelling.
**First Problem / Lesson :** We exchanged some of our money ( Peso - Baht )in the airport of Thailand. We were shocked with the value of our money. We ended up having very little money.We did not know that it should be like this ( Peso - US Dollar - Baht )
**Second Problem / Lesson :** We took a taxi from the airport to our hotel. It was quite expensive compared to a Grab taxi. (Tip: Grab taxi is very convenient and affordable to go around the city.)
**Third Problem / Lesson:** We spent half of our second day roaming around to find a money changer. We found some but the exchange rate was very low. We did not have any choice. As a result, half of our day was wasted.
**Fourth Problem / Lesson :** We were picky with our foods. Not really sure is our stomachs could take them in. Because of that, we were not able to enjoy the real taste of Thai food.
We had lots of misfortune on our first experience abroad but it did not mean that it was an awful trip. We did enjoy it! And, we truly treasure the lessons that we learned from it. Also, we want to help other people to avoid these mistakes and just enjoy their vacation so this article is for all of you guys who are first time travellers.
Hope you enjoy it!
If you also have travel lessons please write a comment down below and let us talk about them.
