Welcome to Faith and Notes!

I’m Francess, a young Filipino woman who took a step of faith and moved to Australia as an international student.

Looking back, I can see God’s hand in every part of my journey. He brought me here not only for a new chapter of life, but also to share my testimony and bring glory to His name through creativity and writing.

Now at 25, I have finished my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and am working with children full-time, serving God through ministries. I find myself walking through one of the most challenging seasons of my life—a season that has deeply tested my faith and dependence on God. Yet through it all, He continues to reveal His goodness, faithfulness, and grace.

I can’t wait to share my stories, lessons, and testimonies with you, wherever you may be in your own journey. I hope that through these reflections, you’ll see how Jesus has transformed my life and how God’s goodness has faithfully led me every step of the way.

Living As a Young Adult Christ Follower.

I encountered Jesus at a youth camp when I was 15. From that moment on, I knew He had called me to live differently. Over the last ten years of following Jesus, I have believed that everything I am belongs to Him. I used my gifts and talents to serve Him, learned new skills for ministry, and dedicated my time and energy to building His kingdom. I genuinely thought my life was all about Him.

But when one of the biggest storms of my life hit, I suddenly found myself feeling lost and uncertain about where I truly stood. I had always believed that Jesus was my firm foundation, yet God allowed me to walk through a life-changing season that exposed what was really in my heart. I became distracted by good things—dreams, plans, opportunities, and expectations—and without realizing it, my heart had drifted further from Him.

One of the most important lessons I learned during this season is that no amount of ministry, service, or sacrifice can replace a genuine relationship with God. We can spend years serving His kingdom, but if our hearts are far from Him, nothing else truly matters. God is not simply after our talents, gifts, or abilities—He wants our hearts.

Every story is my testimony.

I will be writing significant testimonies of what God has done in me, for some reason, I had confidence that you were meant to read and visit my blog.
