Survivor Mom

Last night my son approached me and said he wants to eat carbonara. I told him I’ll just cook the pasta first and then the carbonara sauce in the morning for their breakfast. I noticed his sad face and disappointment so eventhough it’s quite late already I decided to cook the carbonara. We do not have house help so this working mom has to work overtime with some house chores like this.

Anyway, while cooking I did some experiments on my carbonara recipe since I’m on a tight budget i modify some of the ingredients. Instead of using ham and bacon I just used cheesedogs, then added some left over chicken. We do not have cream of mushroom so I just used chicken broth and Nestle cream. I put some mushrooms and cheddar cheese in placed of quick melt and parmesan cheese. The outcome? my kids’ loved it! Well, I know it’s not because i’m a good cook, they’re just fond of eating that’s why..hehe.

After a very tiring day at work i always ask myself when will i’ll be able to have a grand vacation. My daily work and life routine makes me feel stressed and weak so i think i need to refresh myself sometimes.  I wish to travel and experience Orlando vacations because my relatives there had been inviting me for a long time and they’ve been telling stories about the places they’re going to show me when i visit them. Oh well, i hope this wish will come true someday. God willing.

God has been so kind to me and  my family. We went through a very difficult situation in our family this week but God has taken away all the worries and the problems.Once again i felt His presence and how He works in our lives. God is true to His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us, that in spite of our shortcomings and the the sins we’ve committed God is always ready to forgive us and take us into His loving arms again.

I will never survived this storm again without God’s intervention.For all of the people doubting God, don’t allow negativity and problems take away the Faith. It’s the only thing that God requires us to have.

Thank you Lord! Thank you for the love, grace and mercy! Praise be to God in the highest!
