🙋‍♀️ A Little About Me 

My name is Lea, and I'm the person behind this blog. It's nice to meet you! 

• My Roots: I am a Filipina, born and raised in Leyte, Philippines.
• My Faith: I am a follower of Christ Yahusha (Jesus). I'm on a continuous journey of studying the Holy Scriptures, growing my faith every day. Endless gratitude to God!
• My Family: I am blessed with three precious children. I'm a mother first and foremost—this role is my primary priority and identity.
• Lifestyle & Hobbies: While I enjoy hiking, photography, and the occasional blogging, my true passion is living an active lifestyle with my family. Those moments are our most cherished bonding times.

📜 The Meaning Behind "Tapestry of Life" 

This blog is named "Tapestry of Life" because it reflects the beautiful and complex weaving of experiences, beliefs, and relationships that make up existence. 

Tapestry: This represents all the threads—the good, the challenging, the joys, and the sorrows—that are woven together to form my life story. It's a personal space that is imperfect because it’s an authentic reflection of life in an imperfect world. Imperfections are part of life, and even with all my flaws, I am loved by God. 

 A Personal Goal: Blogging here is also a way for me to challenge myself, sharpen my writing skills (English isn't my first language!), and expand my vocabulary.

🙏 A Note of Gratitude 

I am grateful for everything in my life, all of which I owe to God. I believe everything happens for a reason. Though my journey has taken unexpected turns, I trust that God is guiding my steps in this new season. Above all, I am endlessly grateful for the path that made me a mother to my three children. While life is full of challenges, we must always be thankful for the blessings we have. 

I leave you with this thought:
