It appears everyone has a carrot that we are chasing after. I’m not sure if most people know or even bother to think about what their carrot is. My past carrots have been the usual popular stuff such as prestige, upward social status and money. (Yes, I was shallow.) Continue reading What’s Your Carrot? →

Matthew 6:33(KJV)
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

This is a quote by Jesus that I meditate on constantly. Especially in the beginning I would wonder if this statement is really true. One thing I love about getting older with the Lord is that I acquire more experience of his faithfulness. Just like an intimate relationship, the hardest part is probably after the honeymoon period is over and now you must learn to live daily with a new partner that is vastly different from your ways. Unlike a human relationship, this union is a divine one and no matter what you believe and know, Jesus is always correct. Therefore when I have a tough time with his ways I ask for understanding and clarity.  Continue reading Seek Ye First →

Over five years ago, I followed Jesus out of my city into the desert.* I learned so much living life with Jesus in this environment. At one point I felt like I would be in this wilderness for all eternity. Then one early morning, God through the Holy Spirit breathe into me a great promise. I believe it was four years when I received this word: 

“God is not only the God of the desert, but also the God of the ocean, the God of the sky and the heaven. He will let you experience all these in time.”  Continue reading Quest for Moby Dick →

Lately I’ve been inspired by many clichés and encouraging quotes. I don’t know if it’s because I’m noticing them more or because it’s coming my way more. Perhaps it’s both. Continue reading Clichés and Journaling  →

The past couple of weeks I’ve been feeling “anemic” or lacking a certain vital food group in my spiritual diet. I just didn’t understand what I was missing since nothing new or different has happened, and so during our weekly prayer time after bible study, I asked my co-leader to pray for me. I don’t believe in hiding my spiritual state especially from another believer that I’m united together for God’s work.  Continue reading My Nourishment. →

I was very fortunate to be born into a middle-class family in a stable country. Immigrating to America as a child gave me more freedom and opportunities. Starvation, oppression, and abuses by great evil were not my portion. I’m very grateful for this. God has been very good to me.  Continue reading Kingdom of Night →

My daughter has been attending religious Hebrew school for the past six years in order to become a bat mitzvah, which means she has received her training to follow the Jewish mitzvots and is committing herself to her religion and traditions now as an adult. There are over 600 mitzvots or commandments. Continue reading Putting God on the guest list.  →

My mom was attending a house church on her block for nearly two years. Listening to how she discovered this private house church seemed divinely set up by God. My mom, sister and nephew were regularly attending and were being greatly blessed. Though I had my hesitation on this house church, I was so thankful that they finally were committing themselves to a church, learning the word and being accountable to other believers. Continue reading The important thumb →

My husband likes to watch the newest, popular movies with me. If it wasn’t for my husband I wouldn’t watch them. In the earlier years when my husband was greatly disturbed with my increasing faith there was tremendous grace given to me to watch movies and TV shows with him. Continue reading Unequally yoked. →
