THE DREAM
“Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psa 143:8 (ESV) As the plane started it’s descension onto the runway, I felt my heart stop. “This is it” I thought to myself, “there’s no turning back now”. If you would have told me as a little girl that I…

BIND US UP
We all have wounds—emotional or physical. But then they begin to scar. Every scar we have tells of a hidden story. Some scars are small and unnoticeable while others constantly remind us of what happened. But have there been wounds that have taken a while to heal due to their depth or size? Recently God…

DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN
Have you ever felt like you just want to give it all up? Or maybe there’ve been moments where you can’t see the light in that dark tunnel. You slowly start to feel the walls around you steal away the only oxygen you have left. Have you ever gone through a situation in which you…

COULD HAVE BEEN QUEEN
“Did you say twenty?! Are sure that you counted right??” “Yes, darling, you heard right. I did say twenty bars of gold.” I could feel my eyes popping out as our family friend shared her story with us. Mary said that while her eight children were still small, she found a job as a nanny…

I CAN’T ANYMORE
She sounded so frustrated, so tired of trying, so depressed, and so defeated. I felt numb as all of her words, just—settled in. My heart went out to her. I wished that I could wrap my arms around her and just hold her. I sat there in shock as tears pricked my eyes. This couldn’t…

ON THE THRESHING FLOOR
“Go up, raise an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.” ~2 Samuel 24:18 (ESV) In this chapter, we see David call for a census. Joab, commander of David’s army, went out and did as the king commanded. But in his heart he knew, something did not feel right. If…

I DO
“No, no that can’t be true…” “I just don’t believe it!” “Wait…could it be true??” There has always been a conflict within me. And I’m sure that I’m not the only one. I always questioned the fact that I’m beautiful before God’s eyes. I was always doubting that I had a special place in God’s…

Knock-Knock
Some experiences don’t come twice around. They arrive. They stop at your doorstep. They wait a few seconds. Then, they’re gone. Whether you open that door or not, it depends you. Whether you take on that new adventure of learning, seeing, and receiving, it depends all on you. If you’ve read my intro blog, then…

EVEN IF I DON’T UNDERSTAND…
“You have no idea how happy I feel! Now I can go to sleep knowing that I had the chance to talk to you, son.” These were the last words I heard him say over the phone. It didn’t make sense to me how or why did my grandpa sound so excited, I mean over-the-moon-type…

WITHOUT YOU…
“I know I need it desperately.” These past few weeks have been hectic. Sooo many responsibilities!! There have been seldom times that I’ve just wanted to ‘throw the towel away’ and give up completely. And this week has been one of them! I’m at the end of my trimester and finals have been piling up…
