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 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 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. →

In America, same-sex marriage became legal across the states. I’ve kept my thoughts quiet on this matter because I was torn between the views of two opposing sides. I’ve been part of the world for a long time and now being part of the Christian community, I completely understand both sides of arguments. I prayed and asked the Lord to grant me His understanding and wisdom on this matter.  Continue reading Same sex marriage. →

In NYC Times Square people can write down their 2015 events on a piece of paper that they’d like to shred into confetti for the New Year ball drop. It’s called a ‘Good Riddance’ sheet. As you can imagine these participants are glad to be done with 2015 and are hoping the new year brings happier times. Watching this report on the news made me smile and prompted me to review my year.  Continue reading The Year in Review. →

In my morning quiet time the Holy Spirit brought up a verse that piqued my attention. I heard ‘no confidence in the flesh’. I don’t remember reading or hearing these words but when I googled it, it came up in Philippians 3:3 (NKJV):
“For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,” Continue reading No confidence in the flesh. →
