AWAKEN AND RENEW

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

John 3:16-17 NLT

TWEAK AND NOURISH

MY LOVE LANGUAGE: SALAD, SLICED APPLES, AND BENTO If you ask my husband about my love language, he will say "acts of service". I make sure that he has food for lunch that includes an entree, salad, and sliced spples. Sometimes, I feel inspired to make bento after watching episodes of Bento Expo on NHK Channel.

CREATE AND EVOLVE

FAMILY TRADITION: BABY BLANKETS. It all kicked off with a thrilling revelation—my cousin Geralyn was expecting a baby girl! Bursting with excitement, I dashed to the fabric store, eager to craft a beautiful baby blanket. A visit to the fabric store is pure joy for me; I absolutely love running my fingers over the endless array of fabric bolts lining the shelves. Picking the perfect fabric for a baby blanket is always a delightful challenge because the store is brimming with adorable prints and designs. My husband, with his keen artistic eye, joins in the fun and helps me choose the best fabrics.

So far, I’ve joyfully sewn 8 baby blankets for my cousins’ little ones: Adrianna, Mila, Ella Rose, Kai, Keanu, Mason, and Avery, and now one for Baby Alexander, the newest bundle of joy in our family!
