Matter of Understanding

If God could whisper one truth into the soul of every person on Earth, what do you think He would say? I’ve sat with that question often—especially in moments when life is heavy, confusing, or just incredibly human. And though I don’t pretend to know the fullness of God’s mind, Scripture and the life of…

Where Are We?

God Is Everywhere, But What Are We Missing? There’s a beautiful and ancient belief that God is everywhere. In the trees, in our laughter, in the quiet moments before sleep. In the stranger’s kindness, the infant’s cry, the sunrise, the storm. If God is truly present in all things, then how is it possible that…

What It Means To Live Fully

We all know the difference between existing and truly living. But what does it really mean to live fully? Is it climbing mountains? Traveling the world? Achieving our goals? Maybe. But living fully isn’t always loud or glamorous. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Subtle. Sacred. Being Fully Present  So much of life slips through our fingers when…

The Art of Forgiving

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,…

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…

It’s Not About Me

For the past weeks or was it months (at least that’s how it felt like), I have this empty feelings about my IG account. Now if you know me personally, you would know how much I love photography. But then it came to a point where all I see are people posting photos every day…

Which Side Are You?

Has it ever occurred in your life where you asked yourself if you are on the wrong side of the fence? Just a few hours ago, I had this dream. In my dream, I was still in school. In a particular class, there were a few of us that were not chosen to be included…
