If loving is beautiful, imagine being loved. ❤️
And not just loved by anyone, but loved by the Author of all creation.
I find myself identifying with Paul when he prayed in Ephesians 3:18 that we might understand how deep God’s love for us truly is.

During this trip, I experienced little sparks of His love moments when it felt like time stood still. NOTHING else mattered. I wanted to stay there forever.

It made me think about Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Sometimes that feels impossible in a world full of uncertainty and lack. But when we truly have Him, it becomes so simple: If we have Him, what could we possibly lack? If you experienced His love, there’s nothing better to experience on this earth.

Think about what happens when we fall in love. We overlook imperfections. We make time. We sacrifice easily. We travel across the world. We give, forgive, wait, and do things we never imagined doing simply because we love. Love makes the impossible feel EASY!
So what if we truly understood how deeply God loves us? What if we approached Him with the confidence of someone who knows they are completely loved? What if we trusted Him enough to ask, surrender, and believe without fear?

Because when you know you are loved, you trust differently. You live differently. You sacrifice differently.

Maybe that is why “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” becomes so much more than a verse. You can do it because you are loved.

And perhaps the greatest thing we can do with this life is simply seek Him, know Him, experience His presence, and understand His love. Because once you truly have Him, you realize:

YOU WERE NEVER LACKING OF WHAT MATTERS MOST.

I’ve been to Cozumel and Costa Maya a million times, and I’ve been to Roatán too. But out of all my trips, this one was my favorite. ❤️ It was even a dream come true.

And look who is out here swimming like a PRO! 🥳😂
If we have His love, we have everything. ❤️

God feels so present in Bali.
I see Him in every sunset, every cliffside, every waterfall, every mountain, and every wave that crashes against the shore. But even more than that, I see Him in the people. The kindness, gratitude, generosity, humility, and joy of the Balinese people have impacted me deeply. Many may not know the Gospel, yet they still bear His fingerprints. We are all His creation, and through them I have learned lessons that have touched my heart in ways few sermons ever have.

It is impossible for me not to see His blueprint everywhere. His creativity. His abundance. His beauty. His extravagance. His gentleness. His love.

Everywhere I look, creation is declaring the character of its Creator.
I don’t know why God has given me the privilege of seeing so much of the world. I don’t know why He gave me a heart that feels so deeply or eyes that are continually awakened to His wonder. But whatever the reason, I refuse to take a single moment for granted.

With every country, every culture, every journey, I become more convinced of His goodness. More amazed by His power. More overwhelmed by His love.

Travel has expanded my perspective, but more than anything, it has expanded my awe of God.

I have seen His hand in places I never expected.
I have encountered His beauty in people who live very differently from me.
And I have discovered that His glory is far bigger than the small boxes we often place Him in.

All I can say is: Thank You, Lord.
If my life ended in fifty years, five years, or even tomorrow, I could honestly say:
“I have seen and tasted that the Lord is good.”

Living like a millionaire in Bali on a low American budget.
Ether way I’m rich, I’m royalty, I’m a Daugher of the king of kings and I will never lack anything.

Today honestly did not go the way I had imagined in my heart. I had planned a beautiful celebration for my son, a special dinner at a beautiful restaurant, a gorgeous cake, decorations, balloons, pictures, all the little details a mom dreams about for a milestone like this.

But somehow the night turned rushed, and instead of the place we originally planned, we ended up at an ordinary restaurant sitting outside in the heat, in the rain, all scattered in different tables in a hot, lame patio. Definitely not the celebration I had envisioned for such a special moment.

Still… none of that takes away how proud I am of you.

Watching you graduate from UT Austin fills my heart in ways words cannot explain. You may not care about the fancy dinners, aesthetics, or perfect photos the way I do, but as your mom, I wanted everything to feel as special as this accomplishment truly is.

Maybe the night wasn’t perfect, but my love and pride for you absolutely are.

My princess, you are living proof of God’s faithfulness. From such a young age, you have loved Jesus with all your heart, and I have no doubt… God has a beautiful, powerful, unique, and impactful purpose for your life.
He protects you, covers you, and watches over you always. You are the apple of His eye, His precious baby girl and also one of His high ranking soldiers: highly favored, anointed, and trained for battle, working for the glory of the King of kings.

You are made in His image, and every part of you is perfectly designed for your unique purpose. Your passion for sharing the Gospel, your sweet and caring soul, your love for traveling, your artistic mind, your talent in social media, and even your desire for greatness and luxury. It has all been placed within you for a reason, for a purpose that ONLY YOU on this earth can fulfill.
Be authentic. Always trust that God will guide you, correct you, and teach you everything you need to know. The classroom of His love is the greatest teacher on earth. Do not listen to society, religion, or old patterns, listen to His voice, personal and close.

I declare blessings, favor, grace, and peace over your life every single day. May God give you wisdom, humility, and the power to influence everyone who crosses your path to see and love Jesus more deeply.
May everything you touch prosper; may you represent Him in such a powerful way that there is no denying, He lives!

As your mom… I couldn’t be more proud of the woman of God you ALREADY are. And I’m so excited for everything God has ahead of you. I’m here for the ride, behind the scenes, always supporting my sweet baby girl.

Happy Birthday, my love 💕

Oh! PS: To all the A M A Z I N G friends that came to make my daughter’s day special. THANK YOU a million times!

¡Oigan! ¡Miren! ¡Vean!

El mejor viaje de mi vida… y la culpable es @alejaloaizam. Esta mamacita que está cumpliendo años hace tres meses y me tocó sacrificarme a mí y al resto de muchachitas aquí para celebrarla, alojarla y recordarle lo amada que es… y lo bendecidas que somos todas de tenerla como amiga.

¡Qué sacrificio tan espectacular que no quería que se acabara! Nunca me había reído tanto en mi vida.

Qué lindo es estar rodeada de gente que saca lo mejor de ti. De gente que solo ve las cosas lindas, y que incluso en las no tan bonitas te empuja a mejorar y a enfocarte en todas las cosas buenas que Dios nos da todos los días.

Gracias a todas por el mejor viaje hasta hoy.

Y gracias a ti @alejaloaizam por siempre ver lo mejor en nosotras. Gracias por tanto amor y tanta dulzura. Por hacerme reír 24/7 con ese humor paisa tan brutal que tienes y que me encanta.

Feliz cumpleaños, amiga. Que Dios te colme de bendiciones y te conceda todos los deseos de tu corazón. Porque si yo, siendo solo humana, pienso que te mereces lo mejor del mundo… no me puedo imaginar cuánto más Dios tiene preparado para apapacharte y consentirte como esa niña dulce y tierna que eres.

¡Feliz nuevo, bendecido y súper mega billetudo año de vida!
@mercyherradon la mejor bartender del mundo. Gracias por no dejarnos dormir toda la noche! Valió la pena. @quinterovanessa2000 gracias por seguirnos la corriente en todo. LAS AMO! 💓 taken in The Grand Hotel Galvez and Spa by @jazchen23

From beginning to end. From Tokyo, Taiwan, Bali, Israel, Dubai, to the USA, the Bahamas, Mexico, Colombia, and back to Singapore, this year carried me from joy, through challenges, and back into complete joy. 2025 was all perfect, with His hand undeniably present in every moment of my life.

All I can say is thank You, Lord. You are faithful. Your ways are always better. Your mercy is incomparable, and Your love is so unconditional it overwhelms my limited human understanding.

Holding onto Your abundant nature, my prayer thus 2026 is that You bless beyond imagination, those who love You, wait on You, and those who made it possible for me to live the life I do. To all who have blessed me, I declare blessing upon you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I love you Abba!

While most people will be posting Halloween pics tonight, I’ll be sharing my “late” September photo dump. 🤪 Just a month late, but determined not to make it two months late! lol

Looking back at my camera roll from September puts a big smile on my face. All I can think is, “Thank you, Jesus, for every single second of my life, for every person You’ve placed on my path, and especially for those who go out of their way to make me feel loved and valued.”

I love you all so much! I’m welcoming November with a heart full of gratitude. 💛

My quick trip to Colombia reminded me how easy it is for us to live anywhere but the present moment.

So many of us walk through beautiful places, surrounded by blessings, yet our hearts are elsewhere, stuck in the past or worried about the future.
But when our mind lives in what was or what could be, we miss the beauty of what is.
We miss the blessings, the lessons, and the opportunities that God has placed right in front of us.

We forget to thank Him for what’s here, right now. Gratitude isn’t a moment, it’s a posture. And when it’s missing, joy begins to fade.

This trip also reminded me how necessary it is to pause and look within, to ask ourselves, What am I feeling? Why do I feel this way?
Because awareness is where healing begins.
No one else is responsible for our emotions or how we respond. Only we are.

And part of that awareness is recognizing how deeply our environment impacts us.
The conversations we hear, the energy we absorb, the people we surround ourselves with, all of it shapes who we become. This is why I protect my time and energy from places and people who I know no longer align with who I am or want to be.

Sometimes, God changes our surroundings to awaken something new within us. To protect our growth. To realign our spirit. To teach us that peace, gratitude, and clarity can only thrive in the right soil.

And once we begin to live from that posture, aware of God’s presence, filled with gratitude, and grounded in love, everything changes.
It becomes easier to love. To be intentional, and to see beauty in the simplest moments, Like this precious time with my family…
I saw them with a softer heart. I loved deeper.
And I left with more gratitude than ever before.

Miss you all! 🩷 taken in Pereira, Colombia by @jazchen23
