Hit or Miss

Life is a series of hits and misses. You win some, you lose some. Ups and downs. For better, for worse. I have no words to describe how the past day has been for me. I just know that God meant this for good so my hope rests in Him. :)

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4

  1. Found your blog after watching the news. Kaye, I pray that you and your family receive an extra measure of grace through this trying time. Your Heavenly Father loves you.

  3. Kaye, I hope your child A finds normalcy in all of these. If that means, for you to stay in the U.S. for a year, and letting A experience some normal life, maybe it is something to consider. If Richard Catral wants to have a life with you again, you maybe better off, being far away from all the temptations of MetroManila. Maybe life in MetroManila is too easy, too comfortable, too many bad influences.

  5. Found your blog after watching the news last night and decided to return today for updates. I admire you for your patience and devotion as a wife. I hope that I will have the same resilience and fortitude that you have. Your kids are lucky to have you as their mom. I have no words for your husband.
    Stay strong and may the Lord bless you and your kids.

  6. Hello! I dont know you but after reading your blogs it seems that I felt your pain. Just like the previous one who left a comment, I watched the news also and googled your husband out of curiosity. I feel for you...I went through the same experience before, but the thing is we werent married at that time. I admire your courage and faith in the Lord, wishing that I had that kind of strength before. I wish you and your kids well.

  7. Same goes here, my prayers extend to your family.

    I've been to the same situation with you.

    Still, i cannot fathom why these "people" want to put their asses in this kind of hellhole, knowing that they're mature enough to know the consequences.

    And now that they faced the "demon", why is it that they became the victims?

    Even I would like to beat the hell out them if im also in the situation.

  8. hi kaye... wondering why im reading your blog. i must admit, i found guilt in me. I am married with a beautiful wife and 2 girls. I feel guilty now. I've been in this situation too. I know it's not too late for me to change. In your words and testimonies, i feel enlightened. Thank you for waking up my senses! -jansport_np@yahoo

  9. kaye, I was once in the position of your daughter Alexa. My mother is the legal wife, but she became a punching bag, and was dehumanized into a property. She was once stripped naked, literally by my father, infront of my mother's own parents, telling my maternal grandparents that everything my mother was wearing came from his money. When in fact, my maternal grandparents put my father thru college, because my father's family stopped supporting him financially when my father and my mom eloped at age 22 and 24. My maternal grandparents gave my mom the house and lot we grew up in, and actually, where my father and his mistress now lives in. I, too, used my father as the TEMPLATE of WHO NOT TO CHOOSE. I am now grown up with kids in highschool. There is indeed another kind of life, different from what my mother had experienced with my father. My mother is now happy grandma, happy to see that her children had a life better than hers. My father? He is out of our lives for so many years now. He once attempted to communicate to us, asking us to sponsor his visa to come to the U.S. We had forgiven him, but we are not stupid. We ignored his letter of request. My kids are asking about their grandfather. I told them, I want to spare them the disappointment.

  11. hi kaye! just like the others i just googled your husband's name and got to your blog. I am in a happy marriage right now but I really feel your pain. I cannot say that I am in a position to tell you that I know what you're going through because I don't in a firsthand experience kind of way. But together with the others I will be praying for you and ur children. Thanx for the inspiring blogs.

  12. hey there

    yep im one of those who out of curiosity googled up your blog. I came here to understand more of whats really happening. But as I get to read all of your blogs its not the issue anymore that I'm interested but by how you carry all these craziness with such strong spirit. Many have been telling you how strong you are and yes they are right. Your kids are really fortunate to have you as their mom.

    Like everyone's wish for you, I pray that you will soon find peace and eventually, everything will fall into place.

    ps
    Pls leave R. he's just not worth it.

  13. kaye,

    be strong in spirit always for your self and your angels. Hopefully soon, God will show you the reason for everything that is happening. i am in my own messy predicament as well and i can only pray that we both succeed in swimming against the current of trials and tribulations..with our angels lighting our path i am certain there is more to life than this seeming endless woe..Goodluck and God bless
