I pray to the Almighty that He may look over this nation. May He look over all those that come across this post. May He watch over them and draw them closer to Him. Thank you for never leaving my side. Thank you for guiding me in the darkness. Thank you for allowing me to wake up this morning, for my food and everything you bestow on me. For all good times gongs come from you I would be nothing without you. May this night bring peace to all that seek it from You. May their prayers be answered according to Your Will. Let me be able to rest for I am not feeling well. Let Your Almighty hand heal me from whatever this may be but only if it is Your Will. I put myself at Your feet and Your Mercy. I ask all this not by merits or anything I can do but in the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Amen. šš¼

Life Update and Advice
Life is good I am extremely blessed. Grateful that God gives me the strength I need to keep going.
I have disconnected from many in my past and let them go. No hard feelings simply moving on.
Sometimes we forget not everyone is meant to be in our life. They are just tiny lines or a chapter in our book of life. But they arenāt meant to play big roles.
Once you have learned this life lesson it becomes so easy to simply let them go. Donāt ever ask anyone to stay that has chosen to leave your life. Take them as side characters or NPCs in your story.
They have a role to play but thatās it nothing more. So be grateful for the life you have and the lessons you learn.
God is good all the time. Have a blessed week. ~Emma~
Birthday
My birthday was the other day and it got me thinking. I am incredibly grateful for each and every single day I wake up. I know everyone doesnāt get to do the things that they have or that I have. I know some people donāt have the people that they have in their lives and I am extremely lucky to still have my parents and my family involved in my life.
I think after a certain age, you stop actually counting as you go up, but you are incredibly more blessed and thankful. You concentrate more on the things that you do have and not the things that you donāt have.
You think of all the ways that you have survived, the battles that you fought and still walked away. With scars and sweat and blood dripping down, it made no difference because you still walked away stronger.
Life is too short to be anything but happy and filled with gratitude. Just because you donāt think God exists or is working in your life doesnāt mean that he isnāt. God is always working in your life. God is always blessing you sometimes itās just not the way that you expect things to be. So as I go to another year, hopefully with Godās blessing. I hope Iām able to do all the things that I wanna do and all the things he wants me to do. I want to show him as my greatest joy in my life because God has always and will always be my greatest love
I canāt do anything if God doesnāt give me the strength the will and the power to do it. I owe all of the blessings I have to my Lord and Savior. So as I reflect on the year that has passed and the year thatās coming I hope and pray that this be the year that God grant me the one thing Iām asking for. But either which way my life is in his hand and itās all in his timing. ~~always, Emma~~
Summertime
My summer has been good extremely busy season. The dogs are roaring in and out so very busy time for me. Though it is a busy time I do get to enjoy the beauty of summer, then bbqs, the flies that are everywhere, the lantern flies that seem to grow bigger each year. The flowers, the birds, the ants that want invade Lunaās living area. The heatwave, the air conditioning that I sleep so well in, my room is like a freezer.
There are so many good things and bad things but most of all I am grateful. Regardless of the bugs and the heat the summer is beautiful. It reminds us that nothing last forever and the season will become cold and dark again. So enjoy the moment or season you are in now. It wonāt last but make the best of the season and be grateful for it.
You never know what is around the corner of life. So take time out today to thank God for this beautiful day. As they say time doesnāt stop and is completely unforgiving to anyone. So take time to be in the moment and sit in gratitude. ~~always, Emma~~
Life update
Itās been a really busy week. A good time of the year because weāre extremely busy, but my allergies have been making my life hard. I am still grateful for each and every single day that I get to wake up in the morning. I thank God every single day for each and every single moment that I get to spend with my mom, my dad, my sister the dog, working out, eating healthy, and and not trying to spend too much time watching C dramas
I have spent more time this week, not being on TikTok, YouTube, or any other social media platform. Mainly because thereās a lot of reasons for you to get angry and I donāt like to get angry. So for my own peace of mind, I have decided to take some time off of the social media platforms.
I am more focused on my relationship with God than I am about other people and their drama and bringing that person down and all the stuff thatās so unnecessary right now. Life is difficult enough. We donāt really need to be fighting for every single thing. I am trying to get my mom to work out more because sheās elderly and Iām trying to prepare her for the cruise next year.
So I spend a lot of time working out with her to get her into shape that makes her more flexible. Not just flexible, but also stronger so that she could have more stamina when weāre walking around. I donāt think people realize how hard it is to take care of your parents as they get older. Itās like dealing with toddlers. Except for toddlers, you can put your foot down but with your parents, theyāre adults and you donāt want to belittle them. Theyāve worked hard all their lives, and they do deserve to kind of like sit back. Even if I disagree with all the time that they sit back and take naps.
But I am in a really good headspace right now and I think that is the best part of my life right now. I am becoming more disciplined, focusing more on getting stronger building a foundation and spending time with my family and God.
I hope you are all doing well and I hope you have a wonderful beautiful weekend. Stay blessed.~~ Emmaļæ¼~~

Wondering how long you have waited for me. I know you look for me. I know you refuse to let me know that youāre watching me. You watch my every move wondering what I will do next. You canāt help it, it consumes you. You want to walk away and never look back but you canāt. Donāt worry darling your secret is safe with me.
Finding freedom
There is nothing more disappointing than when you have friends and family but realize they donāt have your back. Itās sad but it also reminds us that the only one we can depend on is ourselves. It is better to be reminded of this harsh reality than to constantly think we have others by our side. Itās the most freeing thing one can imagine. Everything you do, everything you accomplish comes from within you not from someone else. Not from those that doubted you. Not for those that never once believed in you. Not those that thought they would watch you fail. Instead those who were your biggest haters can watch from the back of the stands. Donāt acknowledge them, donāt even give them the satisfaction of your presence. Instead walk by them like the strangers they are. Freedom is learning to live without the fear of being alone. Embrace it and be free.
ļæ¼ Christ is King ļæ¼
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. He has given me, joy. He has led me through the pain. Through my darkest night and times in my life, he led me to the light. As we reflect on this Good Friday, the sacrifice that Jesus Christ did. He bore our sins so that we may have a chance at eternal life. I ask you is something missing in your life? If it is, I ask you to turn to Jesus. Jesus is the way he is the king. He is salvation. I ask you to turn to Jesus and accept the gift that he has given to you. Have a wonderful, beautiful blessed night. He is risen.
To the One with No Name
I donāt think about you anymore. I know itās hard for you to comprehend. I no longer care to have the same worthless conversations about my flaws and shortcomings. I am not perfect never pretended to be anything other than myself.
You are the one that pretended to be someone you arenāt. So I go to bed with my conscience completely clear. I donāt pretend to be something I am not.
I am a difficult person to love and even more difficult to understand. I am fiercely loyal and willing to move mountains for those whom I love. I am upfront and donāt lie about my feelings. I am not fake and will never try to fit into a role because someone else thinks I should. I have my own personal opinions about politics. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour, I will never apologize for that.
I am completely confident in myself. I know I am constantly growing and learning from my mistakes and experiences in life. I canāt apologize for the past because it doesnāt exist for me. I know you canāt understand that and I wonāt try to explain it.
I used to think maybe one day you would realize that. That I would always be there for you even in the darkest times of life. But I have mourned our relationship and have buried it.
Just as the dead cannot speak, we move on. The future is before us, will our paths cross again maybe, maybe not. Either way I hold no grudges towards you. You are in very long list of memories or times I no longer visit. Tucked away like a bookmark in a page of a book I will never read again. Always~Emma~
Donāt be Used
Donāt allow yourself to used. People will always take for granted the things you do. Especially if it is something that you do all the time. It might be something so small they donāt really notice at all that you do it constantly for them.
Now I donāt mean not doing things for others because you expect something in return, no that is not what I am saying. Usually the little things turn into bigger things. Things that are much more time consuming and the more you take on, I just ask one thing.
Does that person appreciate the time you spend on them? I donāt mean by meaningless words but by actions. I have seen people both women and men do things for others that is completely ignored. They arenāt appreciated for the time they lost or for the effort they put into that time.
So my question still remains are you appreciating those around you that do the little things or big things you donāt notice? If not take some time to let them know that you appreciate them for all they do to make your life easier.
Also for those of you that arenāt bring appreciated, give it time but not too much time. Some people will never appreciate what they have. So my advice is donāt waste time on people that do not appreciate you.
Itās one thing to allow people to grow but we all know some people will never grow. They arenāt appreciated fundamentally broken inside and would rather use you than actually cherish you. So again walk away.
Life is too short and too precious to waste time on someone that only cares about themselves. Not everyone is bad but not everyone deserves the benefit of doubt.
Listen to your instincts they are usually right. Trust me I get how hard it is to be alone in this world. But it is better to be alone than around people that suck the life out of you like vampires. God created you with a purpose find out what that purpose is and go after it.
Growing is learning from our mistakes and not repeating bad behaviors of the past. I pray whoever reads this finds the courage and strength to overcome their situation. I pray God may guide you through whatever you face. May He be the light you need on your path.
Remember God wants a relationship with you. You just have to be willing to spend time together and let him show you the way. I pray you have a beautiful blessed week. ~Emma~
