The Oxford dictionary defines forgiveness as stopping being angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. Jesus emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, both from others and from ourselves. He teaches that just as God forgives us, we must also forgive others, even if they have wronged us repeatedly. Forgiveness is linked to…

The Art of Healing
God is good all the time! All the time, God is good! I’m sure you’ve heard or seen that a dozen times. And I’m pretty sure we all look at this differently at different stages in our lives. It could be the answered prayers we’ve been waiting for. A dream job, financial blessings, a promotion,…
Papercuts
I believe one of the most difficult things to talk about or write about is relationships. It comes with a lot of baggage. People you don’t want to get hurt. Others might find it shameful. Whatever it is, it’s not an easy one. I came across a post on Instagram about “papercuts” in a relationship….
Knowing My Bible
I received this Bible as a requested birthday gift from my daughter. And I couldn’t be any happier. When I was in my late teens-early twenties, I tried to read the Bible. And it was a failure. I remember being told by the elders that you will be sent all kinds of distractions from reading…
One Way Street
We all know what a one-way street is, right? A road or street where traffic is permitted to move in only one direction, typically indicated by signs or markings.

Dear Me,
Wow! Happy Birthday! Can you believe you’re fifty-five? Where do I start? Today marks a new beginning for you. Only time will tell how it’ll move forward, but it’s a step that you have to take.

If you look up the meaning of love, it is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. But what you do with that intense feeling of deep affection is what really shows love, at least in my humble opinion. Saying you love someone is easy. Showing that love is another story. My father’s love…
Our Kintsugi
Nowadays, we have all kinds of applications and filters to make everything look good, perfect, and unblemished. We have everything we can use to hide our flaws and everything else that we think of as imperfections. Kintsugi is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold, highlighting the cracks rather than hiding them. It symbolizes…
A Love Like Spring
I’ve always believe that my parents love for each other was one in a million. I never doubt that. “To me, your mom means the world.” – Yang Gwan Sik If I am fascinated with Japanese words, I am as much fascinated with Korean Dramas. Somehow they have a way of letting the audience immerse…
Drained
I find myself looking for “drained” quotes to somehow find answers to how I am feeling the past several weeks. As I scroll through some famous quotes, I realized that none can define how I am feeling right now. Which proves that our situations vary and our feelings are our own. Perhaps, I have been…
