Blog Therapy

Yes, I know I have not been blogging lately.

And this past week, I have not seen my children awake. For this week, I have been leaving the house to work while they are still sleeping and I come home when they are already asleep.

I have to admit I have not seen my children awake since Monday. And I will even have work on Sunday afternoon and Monday (when in the Philippines, it's already declared a holiday).

To top it all off, I have a throbbing toothache. But I don't have time to visit my dentist.

But that would change somewhat tomorrow as I will leave for work relatively late. I have an appointment with Nico's teachers in the morning and then head out for work afterwards.

I promised myself I would blog no matter what. Even when things get toxic at the office or at home.

I have to blog. It's my therapy. Blogging, along with my chamber and flute sessions are the only things that are keeping me sane and anchoring me in the maelstrom of work.

I want to blog a little longer today. Unfortunately, I'm already tired. Just for today, I was already on the road as early as 6:00 a.m. and just got home at 11:00 p.m. And the rest of the week was not really different.

Good night everyone.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
