Grace Under Pressure


☕ Grace Under Pressure, Not Grave Under Pressure
Memory Lane (March 26, 2019)
When things are coming one after the other and you feel you are being pulled down into a dark hole...
And then you tried the best you could to stand up and do whatever you could in that circumstance.
And then you tell yourself,
“Kaya mo yan!”
“Matatapos din yan!”
And you tried not to cry but still tears rolled down.
And then, you changed your thoughts into imaginations only you knew.
And then you smiled...
What’s the best way to make you sane in the midst of situations making you insane?
For me, the answer is simple.
You choose to bury the worry before the worry buries you. You hold onto the quiet strength that only God can provide.
It is Grace under pressure—never Grave under pressure. ๐Ÿ’™
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

May you find a hidden reason to smile and experience His calming grace in the middle of your pressures today.

Every now and then, I open an old journal and find a little piece of myself I had forgotten. ๐Ÿ‚Some make me laugh.Some make me wonder. Some remind me of how far I’ve come. These pages are not simply a collection of old journal entries. They are little pieces of a journey—thoughts I once wrote down, stories I may have forgotten, and moments that meant something to me at the time. And sometimes, the woman I am today has something to say to the woman I was then. So you may find a little note from Present Lelen along the way—a reflection, a little context, or perhaps just a gentle “I understand now.” I’m keeping these memories here not because they’re profound, but because they were once part of my story.

Dear old me… what were you thinking? ๐Ÿค”

You never know what we might find there.
