How Can Sickness Be A Blessing In Disguise?
What good is it to be so sickly at all times? I have asked that question so many times especially when I feel that my body is weak. I have wondered when would be the end of this. I have longed for those times when I was still able to do all the physical things…

A Quiet and Godly Woman
“It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.” Women are noisy. I used to hate this statement mostly from old people. But as I live my day to day, I have witnessed how women often express themselves and their experiences in a…

What can we do in times of deep sorrow?
I can’t work hard anymore. Yesterday, I was just invincible. I felt that I could do all the things that I wanted to do. All of a sudden, my world turned upside down. Two things that summed up my life now are sickness and financial crisis. Everyday that I wake up, I would just stare…

Finding Our Resting Place
Where can we find our resting place? In this chaotic world where we live in, is it still possible to find a resting place with serenity and peace? The ideas of medical bills, loans, daily provision, household finances, and work crowded my mind as I tried to concentrate on writing them down to avoid anything…

What Does it Mean to Number our Days?
It has been a cliche to say that “life is short and death is real.” But how many of us truly understood that life is just like a vapor (James 4:4) and we are all appointed to die (Hebrews 9:27)? Many months ago, I was encouraging a father whose son is diagnosed with brain cancer.…

Leaning on God’s Promises
When I was younger, my parents often promise me something if I would top our class. Since we did not usually get to buy things that we wanted, I would always hold onto that promise. Whenever I felt so lazy to study, I would remember their promise to me and that motivated me to do…
