I really was being so stubborn for so long and I was having such a hard time letting go of the things I wanted to keep in my life. It all started from last year. I still wish I hadn’t turned away from You and lived in the world like that, but thank You for … Continue reading Prodigal →

The more intimate my relationship with God has become, the stronger this unexplainable feeling in my heart grows when I read certain parts of the Bible. Is it warmth, exactly? I don't really know. But anyway, many of these can be found in the book of Philippians. Here are some of my favorites: "But whatever … Continue reading My favorite passages →

Two people at my church passed away this week. One was an elder who still had some years left; as far as I knew, he was healthy the last time I saw him. But apparently the Lord called him home suddenly this past Monday. When I heard the news that day, it really put things … Continue reading Loss/Hope →

This week I felt utterly defeated — mentally, emotionally, etc. Even my spiritual state had its ups and downs as usual. But you know what? As overwhelming as it was, as desperate as I felt for my prayers to be answered, God came through for me once again. I haven't felt this dependent on Him … Continue reading Romans 16:20 →

The longing to return to where I once was has finally passed and now I can enjoy this in reality. I now realize lots of factors were … Continue reading I’m listening, Lord →
