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,…

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…
as We forgive
It’s 1:30 a.m. I can’t count how many times or how long has it been since I would wake up around midnight or a little later and toss and turn trying my best to fall back to sleep. Every time when this happens, I would – most of the times – just lay still and…
Something in the Rain
It’s a rainy (gloomy in a way) Friday. More often than not, rainy days always make me feel gloomy. It’s weather for staying home. And I am at work, so… But today, I find the rain to be a relief. I find it calming and beautiful. And the sound of it is like music to…

So, We Asked God?
Why do bad things happen to good people? How many times have we heard or asked this question? But how many times, did we ever ask why we do bad things to good people? Isn’t it ironic that we ask God why bad things happen but not why we do those bad things? I guess,…
Just A David Amongst The Goliaths
While looking at my Instagram feed last night, I was slapped with the truth. I’m just a David finding my way in a field full of Goliaths. This is how I find myself amongst a group of known and published authors. My inner self, asked me. Charina, are you sure about this? An unknown writer,…
Born For A Purpose
Dear me, It’s Sunday but I opted to stay home today due to not feeling well. I thought I’d write you a letter. Who would have thought that you, the shy-introverted girl would be living 10,000 miles away from home?…… Excerpt from A Letter to my Younger Self; Finding God in the Ordinary Embracing a…
