30 Things I am Grateful For on My 30 Years of Existence
Today, I turned 30. Not all people reach this age anyway, so I am so thankful to God that despite all the ups and downs of life, I am still standing.

Be Still and Know that You Are God
How can I be still when things are out of order? How can I be still when the storms of life surround me? These questions have been coming back in and out of my mind these past weeks. Though, I tend to be calm and manage to smile. I felt the pressure inside as I…

It was another lovely morning. As I set myself to jog in this nature-like park where we always go, I gazed at the horizon (I love doing this every time I am here). The sea shone like crystals where it met the clear sky with a few cotton-like clouds. It was indeed a magnificent view.…

Where is God When Things Don’t Make Sense?
I never thought that I would be placed in a situation where all I could do is to hope for God’s mercy. Months ago, I was diagnosed to have this deadly disease. Back then, I was so vibrant. I was full of dreams that I knew would be possible for me to achieve. It was…
