Entre risas, cambios hormonales y muchas oraciones ¿Quién dijo que la preadolescencia era sencilla? Definitivamente, no era madre cuando lo pensó. Hoy quiero contarte un poco de lo que estamos viviendo en casa… o mejor dicho, sobreviviendo. Mi hija acaba de entrar a esa etapa misteriosa entre la niñez y la adolescencia. No es niña,…

Family vacations have always been a special time to disconnect from the routine, enjoy the simple things, and strengthen our bond with the ones we love most. This year, we planned something different a special week to begin celebrating our daughter’s birthday. We didn’t just want to give her material gifts, but rather moments filled…

Las vacaciones familiares siempre han sido un tiempo especial para desconectarnos de la rutina, disfrutar de lo simple y fortalecer la conexión con quienes más amamos. Este año, planeamos algo diferente: una semana especial para comenzar a celebrar el cumpleaños de nuestra hija. Queríamos regalarle no solo regalos materiales, sino momentos llenos de amor, diversión…

Sometimes I pause, take a deep breath, and think: “This is not easy.” Being a woman already carries emotional, physical, and spiritual weight that the world often doesn’t see.

Alguna vez has estado tan cansado que tu cuerpo suplica descanso, pero tu mente dice: “¿Y si mejor repasamos todas tus decisiones vergonzosas desde 1997 hasta hoy?”? Entonces, bienvenida al club no oficial del insomnio: sin membresía, sin reuniones, pero con muchas ojeras, cero sueño y un elenco estelar que no coopera con tus planes…

Finding God’s Comfort in the Midst of Pain Losing our baby was one of the most painful experiences we have lived through as a family. It happened at home suddenly and filled with pain. Our hearts were shattered. There were no words only tears and questions. I didn’t know how to talk to God, but…

This Is Not Just the Face of Anxiety It’s the Face of Freedom, Faith, and a Daughter of the King. I’m not perfect. I’ll be the first to admit it. There are days when the storm still rages when doubts press in hard, and my heart feels fragile. Moments when anxiety shows up uninvited, disguised…

There was a time in my life when I walked in deep darkness. I wasn’t just lost I was walking in the opposite direction of truth. I was fighting for the wrong side and didn’t even realize it. Like Paul before his encounter with Christ, I too mocked the light and embraced the lie. I…
