To a God that answers little prayers...
THANK YOU!
Today, I ran out of the office really late. I had to be somewhere in 15 minutes and it was a 30-minute drive. Good game, Nat.
As I was running out of my building - read wobbling in heels - I prayed for a taxi. I made my way teetering to the gate. I know, I’m soooo smooth. In the distance, a taxi stopped, the driver winded down his window and looked at me. I paused and...

Oh, to run away with just pen and paper;
a pot of tea and some snacks for later.
Where trees are tall and leaves oft fall,
by bustling river, escaping from it all.

To surprise chocolate cake in the office and surprise chocolates in the mail, Daddy God sure made my promise land flowing with milk and dark chocolate.
I thank God for wonderful people in my life. For never failing to remind me that there are lovely people in existence when I’m entertaing thoughts of genocide.

Being Adult
The days where I feel every single one of my teenage years and am so tempted to act on every single childish rant and whim…
These are the days where I need to remind myself that it is not one’s age that determines whether one is an adult or not. Rather it’s the choices we make.
I can choose to throw a fit and go on a rampage burning all my bridges. Or I can take five, calm...

To a God...
To a God who hears the cry of the broken,
To a God that listens to tears,
To a God who would help the helpless,
To a God that is still faithful,
To a God whose love is unceasing,
To a God that is mighty to save,
To a God who is able,
To a God that always comes through,
Thank you.
It’s always going to be You and me against the world, Daddy God.

Insecure
I am probably the most insecure person I know. Maybe it’s part of my Asian upbringing where my insecurity stem from a huge pride. I get apologetic about my strengths and passions, choosing to present myself as apathetic, when I’m such a fangirl.
Maybe people will think I’m weird, lame, ordinary…
We all seek and form our identity in different ways. For me, it’s in...

Jealous God?
Yesterday during lunch, I felt God tell me that I don’t have to deny my love for Brisbane and that my whole journey has ever happened. I don’t have to do that. He doesn’t want me to do that either.
Rather, I shouldn’t make it my everything. I shouldn’t be filling my thoughts with Brisbane, base my happiness on Brisbane or live for Brisbane. That is making it my...

Pierced and broken-hearted
I went for my first caregroup in my church’s ministry for working adults yesterday. When our care group leader led us in Holy Communion, he asked us to visualise Jesus being beaten, pierced, his heart rupturing bleeding water and blood…
I winced as I pictured Jesus’ feet being pierced. The feeling was too fresh.
Earlier that afternoon, I was altering my work pants. In my...
