Hello folks! I am in this moment that I feel overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle of life. My daily activities merely starts with a cup of coffee, and the abrupt opening of my personal computer to work on the online activities that I have to do. While working, that's when I send my boys and little boy off to school, just giving them divided attention. The work goes on, depending what the demands of the day are. And usually... this exhausts me because at the back of my mind I know I've done an unworthy deed, a futile existence.

3 weeks later, things are beginning to change. I've learned to enjoy life attending to offline activities and just letting the Lord take the lead in my daily activities. I'm still learning so many things. I'm gradually getting involved in church and community activities, also beginning to enjoy sending my littlest one off to school. Life is simple, yet life is fantastic!
