Sitting at the Feet of Jesus
Two years ago, in our little town, I was in awe of the stillness of the ocean. As I looked into the water, the sky was reflecting the bluish cotton-like clouds that seemed scattered across the horizon. It was peaceful and calm. It was a perfect picture of serenity. That photograph in my mind is…

His Way is Perfect
Last year, I had planned to go home twice. I even planned that year with my family and friends. But those plans became rubbish as this pandemic controlled and altered almost everything. I was saddened because I was not able to attend the wedding of my friends and the saddest part, the wedding of my…

When Our Expectations Fail Us (what can we do?)
Expectations are part of our every day lives. Most often than not, our failed expectations towards something or people will drive us crazy if we cannot deal with them in a way that glorifies the Lord.

When It Feels Like Things Are Not Getting Better
“It’s a hopeless case.” These words were uttered in desperation. I said those words three years ago when I was diagnosed with tumors in my thyroid. I thought that I was already at the end of the road. There’s no more left nor right to turn to. I cried in anguish as I imagined my…

Living an Organized Life
Have you ever tried looking for something so important but ended up being dismayed because it was nowhere to be found? It sounds crazy, right? However, for many times in the past, I always found myself exasperated because I needed something so badly but I forgot where I placed it. If you feel the same,…

The Joy of Walking with God
What does it mean to joyfully walk with God? As I get older, I begin to appreciate the stillness and quietness found in having a simple life. I walk to work every day, and I see people rushing and hurrying in the busy streets of this business district where I live. Some are happily talking…

Finding True Rest in The Lord
When our soul is the restless one, physical rest will not suffice. Sleep, getaway, and other means to rest will just restore our physical exhaustion. Not our soul. Not out mind. Not our heart. I’m not sure if you have been into a situation where things are just falling apart before your own eyes. The…
