Hi ,
I still remember one night, I curled up under the blanket, phone in hand, tears soaking the pillow.
I was scrolling through old photos — the kind you hate to see but can’t look away from.
Photos filled with love turned to hate.
And I just sobbed.
Quiet, aching sobs.
Because no one else knew the weight I was carrying.
How I’d cry myself to sleep and still get up in the morning pretending to be okay.
But you know what helped me breathe a little deeper?
This verse:
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.” (Psalm 56:8)
Listen.
God doesn’t just notice our pain — He remembers it.
He collects our tears like treasures.
So even when the world doesn’t notice your sleepless nights… God does.
Even when your strength goes unseen… He sees it all.
You are not invisible sis.
Not to Him.
So if you’ve been silently breaking, please hear me —
Your healing still matters.
Your tears still matter.
You still matter.
Always here,
FJ "Silently praying for you" Lapera
P.S. Today is Sunday and it's a beautiful time to spend with your family and loved ones. BTW, family reunion namin today and I'll be the emcee. It may be a day again to remember how at times you want to show you're a "COMPLETE" family but not anymore for me physically.
Pero alam mo sis, I'm proud to say na di man kami physically complete, we can be complete in our own ways now ---- with PEACE in mind and I'm a proud momma raising my son without any dose of hatred and anger for his father.
It may be too early to celebrate but for me, I value it a lot.
Coz again, God sees everything. God sees my heart and of course...
God sees your heart.
Imagine today is a perfect day for you and all you feel is PEACE and JOY in your heart and you have all the money and time in the world...
How would you want to celebrate it with those people who matter to you most?
REPLY to this email and let me know.
I'm excited to know your thoughts. :)
