It’s almost too hot to be writing a blog post. Almost above 30 degrees and probably hotter in my little apartment in PG. Lately, I’ve been struggling with this question. Actually, for the past three years I’ve been struggling with this question. I don’t know about you, but very few things in my life have … Continue reading
UMM, can we talk about this? Let me ask you this, WHEN HAS WHAT GOD ASKS EVER MADE SENSE?! A friend and I were giggling over this the other night… “Part the waves Moses!” “Kill your son Abraham!” “David, you little shepherd boy, go and slay that giant!” ZERO SENSE. NADA. ZIP. And somehow I … Continue reading
Hello peanut butter lovers, With Valentine’s Day upon us, it is quite understandable if we all have romance on the brain. This past summer I read Karol Wojtyla’s Love & Responsibility and ever since then I’ve been looking at relationships in a whole new light. We’ve been talking a lot about dating at Avila House … Continue reading
Discerning the Vocation of Marriage: Her Perspective I am an extremely decisive person; I am good at getting things done, and I (to my own detriment) take too much pleasure in having control. As a result, I have always known what I wanted, and been able to achieve what I wanted through my own hard … Continue reading
Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is … Continue reading
I have had Audrey Assad’s Good to Me on repeat the last several weeks. It has been a while since I wrote something personal for F&PB and it’s high time I write a post praising the King of Kings who has been, for lack of better words, good to me. Since graduating in early December, … Continue reading
F&PB lovers, We’re so excited to bring you our first follow-up!! You might remember several months ago right around Valentine’s we published a series called ‘Divine Romance’ about being single-hearted. Don’t be fooled by our #cheesy titles, the series gave us much to ponder and pray about. A couple weeks ago, Emily approached us wanting … Continue reading
When I think of motherhood, I go back to when I was seven years old when my grandmother passed away from lung cancer. It was first time I had ever lost someone that I loved. I spent lots of time with my grandmother, who I called “Nanay” (‘mother’ in Tagalog), especially as my parents often … Continue reading
Merry May to all our faithful F+PB followers. We have been taking some unplanned time away from blogging to move cities, attend weddings, and figure out what we are meant to do with the rest of our lives (the latter is a work in progress). You, friends have no doubt been in our prayers. To … Continue reading
Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. – C.S. Lewis Continue reading
Y’all know how I feel about Catherine. No introduction needed. Wise words for everyday and not just Lent. “Lent is the time to control our speech. To control speech is to recover its sacredness, to understand that sometimes the words of an innocent ‘joke,’ spoken without thinking, can have disastrous results, can be the ‘last … Continue reading
Becs and I have been jet-setting and are finally both back in one country. We thought it about time to share some Lenten encouragement all around. 40 days and we’re at day 21. We have just past the halfway point ladies & gents. In a marathon this is the point where I think most people … Continue reading
