DisneySea 2025
I met Ate Cristina through our church’s online meeting. She sent a prayer request for “Destiny Japan”. That’s a huge prayer request, almost like an impossible thing to happen in our generation (lol joke as of writing this i feel like it’s totally possible but at that time, it felt like it wasn’t okay). Anyways, […]
We belong to God

Song of Songs
It’s February! It’s the love month and Valentines is just around the corner. For the last days of “new season” series from January, I’ve been praying to God what Sunrise Podcast’s next series would be. I got His answer while reading a book on the way to my ministry work. About love! It’s in the […]
7 Things I Learned in the Mission Field
I only have a few weeks remaining to finish my mission trip in Japan. There are more than 7 things, of course, that I learned in this journey of following God and serving His kingdom. I’ll make sure to write more when I get back to the Philippines. Godly families are God’s design Growing up […]
The Lord is at work in Japan
Before going to Japan, one of my prayers was “Lord, allow me to see Your kingdom in Japan”. When I prayed this, it was a hopeful thinking to see all of Japan worshipping God. Or that God would show me the salvation of Japan as a nation. Guess what? God answered. God answered my prayer! […]
Faithful in Every Situation
“Maybe it’s not yet our time.” My best friend, Grace, said the other night. We concluded that maybe we’re still struggling because the Lord is still preparing us. Perhaps we are not yet ready for the promise. Our 20s are filled with a roller coaster of events. We’re juggling career, health, social life, family time, […]
From Snow To Bread
“So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it”. Isaiah 55:11 Today, the word is about the power of your word. My reading is from Isaiah 55:6-13. […]
Psalm 118
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Let those who fear the Lord say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” Psalm 118:1-4 ESV There is so much to […]
New Year’s Eve with Missionaries in Japan
Coming from the Philippines, I’m used to a festive, loud, and bright New Year holiday. I grew up welcoming the year with fireworks, dozens of fruits, prepared meals that would feed us for a week (like maaanyyy delicious, tasty foods), and lots of jumping and shouting. When I experienced Christmas Eve a few nights back, […]
Christmas in Japan
Spending my first Christmas Eve as a missionary was lonelier than I anticipated. Though I love being surrounded by my family and communities, I enjoy solitude very much. I’ve lived independently from my family for several years, so I assumed that though Christmas might be sadder than usual, I wouldn’t feel lonely. In the Philippines, […]
