The Pain That Transforms The Soul
As I sat on the edge of my bed, there was this sudden urge to just sit down and ponder for a while. How many years has it been? A little over six years, “that long, Ann!” I thank God because until now, I am still here. Those valleys and mountains that I walked on and climbed…

When It’s Hard to Let Go (of Something or Someone)
Many times, we heard the statement, “Let Go and Let God.” Something that I have learned in a hard way. Why is it really letting go of something or someone is so hard to do? I had that season of questioning, too. I came to a point life where I had to re-evaluate my life…

Being Still in a World That is Constantly Changing
These days, I feel that my soul is saddened as I heard (and read) that one of my favorite Christian authors had veered away from the truth. She is a great influencer and a distant mentor to me. I have read many of her books, listened to her podcast, and watched her faith grows even…

There is a Time for Everything
We have heard so many times the statement, “God is never late nor early. He is always on time.” Easy to understand, right? However, this seems to be hard when we have our own plans and timeline. At times, we want to align His timeline with ours not the other way around. I am impatient.…

Godly Habits to Develop This 2022
New Year’s resolution? I have been thinking what to look forward to this year. I had been writing about New Year’s resolutions and goals for the past years. But I realized that those things never meant to last as there are ungodly habits hanging around. Many of those resolutions were just good during the first…

A Grateful Heart Matters
Gratitude is something that I have learned over the past years of being in the ministry. I was not born grateful. I knew that. And it was a hard lesson for me to learn. If you have been reading through my posts these past years, you would know the story of my life. Being grateful…

Turn Discouragement to Encouragement
This year, I have struggled with so many discouragements. I just felt like things were not getting any better. I got impatient and I had this feeling of trying to do things on my own – to help the Lord do what needed to be done. It seemed that during this period of my life,…
