Week 5: Time Flies! 😱😱

"Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters" -Anonymous 👻



Hello friends and welcome to Week 5 of my blog. Wow, I feel as though 2021 just began and yet, time is moving quickly 😦 (I am very shooketh). How was your week? I think we will hopefully out of the January blues because February is a month to look forward to. 



It's a good thing they're cute! But the cheese is so there! 

There's Valentine's Day 💋💝to all you romantics and lovers out there! I will definitely be watching those Hallmark Channel cheesy (the 🧀is very present and I love them) movies. Also, if you are living in Canada, there is another holiday called Family Day. It is a fairly recent holiday that was put in the Canadian calendar because 1) February does not have any Civic holidays, and 2) we need to spend time more with our families (pre-pandemic and however you perceive a family to be). 


Me going into my office next Monday

I am looking forward to February because I am starting a new job. I start on February 8th, 2021. I am going to be working for the Ontario Public Service (OPS). The Ministry I will be working for is the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services. I am beyond blessed and grateful, especially during these times because many people are without work. Please pray for me 🙏! 




Anyways, I am not here to boast about the job. I am here to write that these things do not define me. Things such as having a career, going to university or whatever else does not define you. What defines a person is this: BE WHO GOD CREATED YOU TO BE AND SET THE WORLD ABLAZE. This is from an Instagram post whom I follow. Her name is @brickhouseinthecity (you should totally follow her, she's awesome!). 

Sure, you can love what you do, and have all the nice things (I am not saying that they are bad, in fact they are good), we just have to remember WHO we are, as our Creator created us to be. We have to remember also that everything that is good in our lives (the career, the degree, etc) comes from God, and with God, all things are possible. 



Another thing to think about is surrender. How often do we have a hard time surrendering things in our life to God? This is a big one for me. Surrendering everything to God can be scary because we want to be in control of our life. But, we just have to surrender because He can bring us true freedom and liberation from our bondage. He can bring us to our life's goals (even though it doesn't turn out the way we want it to go). He is our Father who never abandons us. He is with us always (Emmanuel). 

So my friends, what is holding you back to your full surrendering to God? Bring it to Him. Let Him help you. That is one of the many ways He is always there for you. Trust in Him. 


Please continue to pray for me, this blog and for all those who are unemployed, that through the intercession of St. Joseph, they may find fair and passionate jobs. Thank you so much for reading my blogs each week, I am so privileged and grateful to have your reading support!

Week 14 & 15: AAGGGHHH The Busyness!!!

  Week 14 & 15: AAGGGHHHH The Busyness!!! "Everyone of us needs half an hour of prayer each day, except when we are busy - then we need an hour." - St. Francis de Sales It's that time of year folks...the semester coming to a close, work picking up while being on lockdown (yet again)...it's a fun time. Hi friends! I hope you had a great couple of weeks. It has been a challenging yet eventful time in my life. Happy Easter! What I meant of challenging yet eventful couple of weeks is that life doesn't look like it is slowing down for me. Work has been such a gift from the Lord and bringing me to somewhat of a normalcy during this time.  Plus, my boss told me that I am considered as an essential worker. I think it is probably because of the populations I serve (people with disabilities). I am going for the Pfizer (or Moderna) vaccine on Tuesday April 20th (please pray for me) at 12:30pm, during my lunch. Am I looking forward to getting a needle in my arm? Why yes, ...

Weeks 10 & 11: The Power of Friendship

  Weeks 10 & 11: The Power of Friendship "What a great favour God does to those He places in the company of people" - St. Teresa of Avila Hello friends! Last week and this week thus far have been super busy with adjusting to my work (I finally got my desk) and school life (homestretch!). Also with school, I submitted my second draft of my giant paper to my professors for review (please pray for me!).  "Its hammer time" because I handed in my paper!!! While all of this was going on, I could not help but think and reflect on this little yet powerful thing we have as humans. Relationship(s). Whether we know about it or not (yes, I am talking to you all you introverts out there), we are all in some form of a relationship (i.e.: friendship, familial, romantic, etc). Fun fact to all the Catholic-Christians reading: the Holy Trinity is in relationship with each other. Therefore, God did not create us to be alone. How incredible is that?  But there is one form of relati...

Week 4: Perfect on the Outside But Broken on the Inside

  Week 4: Perfect on the Outside But Broken on the Inside "Wounds are openings by which we enter other people's hearts, and by which they enter ours" - Jocelyn Soriano  "Andrea, you do things so flawlessly, you are the best"... "You're an angel"... "Professor, we're not like 'little miss perfect' like SHE is"... "Little miss perfect"... This is one label that I hide myself in every time I do something. Trying to be perfect in the sight of others. To get others to like me for the things I do and not who I am is still something I have struggled with for quite a while in my life. It is one of my many insecurities. I have hidden myself into this label for so long that I fell down the rabbit hole of striving to be perfect.  Many people know me for my smile. I love and enjoy smiling. I have been doing so ever since I can remember. In fact, there are great benefits to it. For example, some studies have shown that smiling ca...
