Mom's Inspiration: Bible Verse to Claim Your Success

 


Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. 

- Proverbs 16:3

Bible Verse About Success 

Do you have your favorite success quotes? As I searched and looked for quotes about success, this passage from the Bible had really captured my interest. What can motivate you more to push on with your goals and plans in life?

It is true that a well-thought and well-planned goal is less likely to fail. However, there are times that things will not go our way. There may be unexpected bumps as we go on our way to accomplish our dreams. At some point, we may feel that it is already impossible to become successful.

 

Parenting Challenge: Change of Plans!

Being a mother of three, I thought that I failed all my goals in life. For a while, I felt down seeing how my former classmates were succeeding in their chosen careers and businesses.  Some of my high school classmates thought I would be a successful doctor. When I was graduating in college, my relatives thought I should pursue a law degree. Then, here I was stuck in a job with a salary that was never enough. There was no title next to my name. I worried a lot about my future and how I could give my kids a good life. However, I realized it is true that if you seek for God’s will, one day you will embrace it wholeheartedly. It was not an overnight miracle but a slow process. Each day I tried to understand and accepted my situation. I chose to look at the bright side and started to reset my goals. Then, the time finally came that I stopped being bothered by every details and events of my life. I looked and cherished all the blessings I have. That is the time I "committed to the Lord all my work and goals."


I changed my concept of success

When I was younger, I thought to be successful was to have a big house, a financially rewarding career, several cars, a good husband, wonderful kids, and traveling.  Then, I accepted that person could not be me today. I had to reset my goals and align it to my current blessings—my wonderful kids. My life is now about giving the best for them through God's guidance and grace.

When I finally accepted that God has a different and better plan for me, I started to rise like the star I wanted to be. I am the brightest star of my children and I aim to shine for them until they become their own stars. As I choose the path that God has prepared for me, I can see that my wishes are finally falling into the right places. Today, I see that my success is a long and worthy road to travel and that I am not alone in my journey. I have my kids, family, and friends to remind me of where I need to go. I already made the biggest decisions in my life that positively impacted my emotional and mental well-being. Thanks to these humans!

I claim today that my career will flourish at its own phase. I can still save for our future and my retirement while giving my kids the life that they deserve. I am on my way to my own success ---- the path that God has chosen for me.  He has also chosen the right people who will be with me in my journey.

There is no house or car yet, but I am happy and thankful for the good health and continuous blessings. My success is my happiness and the happiness of my kids and God has chosen it for me.

Do you have your own success story or struggle? Feel free to share with me!

Pre-teen Acne: 10 years old Already Have Acne, What is Acne, and Its Treatment

Pre-teen Acne My daughter turned ten this 2020 and she is really growing up fast. I can say that she has reached the puberty stage early. She started her menstruation a few months ago and, with it, she had to deal with acne on her forehead and more whiteheads on her T-zone. I never thought I will deal with this skin problem so soon. She is just still a baby for me! My firstborn and my only daughter.  I am actually more conscious of how here acne is flaring up.

Pre-teen Acne Treatment for my 10 Year Old | Part 1: Testing COSRX Acne Hero Kit Mild for Combination Skin

  From my previous post , I dealt with the pre-teen acne of my 10-year old daughter. I changed her shampoo and bought the most gentle facial cleanser I know. It didn't work. I observed that her skin had changed to combination skin. Her T-zone is oilier so her foreheads had pimples and her nose and chin have whiteheads.   I searched online about what are gentle yet effective products that I can use to help with her acne issues. I am also a user of COSRX products and I am often satisfied and happy with the outcome every time I use their products. I checked if there are available products for her age. However, there were no specific products for her age. I inquired in their official online store via Shopee Philippines about my questions and they were very accommodating.  I specifically asked about their ACNE HERO KIT MILD 4-step because I wanted mild products to fight her acne. I also read reviews of mothers who claimed that the kit was very effective for their kids. Wh...
