seeing what is silent, hearing what is unseen
I was sharing on Saturday during DC about how the last lesson impacted me, especially when it came to people-pleasing. I have lived my whole life as a people-pleaser. Perks of being a firstborn. A high achiever. Wanting to make Mama and Papa happy and proud. Avoiding risks or mistakes. If perfection had a face,…
Read moreAfter DC, I rode in the car with another friend, and we started talking about our children. I want to share about my daughter, Gracie. When I left my home last year in July, I was in a terrible state—mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially. But looking back, I realise that as much as I was…
Read moreRevelation 4:11 ICB [11] “Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You made all things. Everything existed and was made because you wanted it.” Everything existed and was made because God wanted it. This reminds me of the verse in John that says, “Through Him all things were…
Read moreGood morning. I am a chronic declutterer. I don’t even keep duplicates of things because I feel like they take up too much space.

What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.” Are you an unbeliever that you worry about things? Why do you let anxiety consume you when…
Read morePsalm 51:4 (NLT) “Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.” Yesterday, I was talking to a friend from DC, and he asked me whether I had ever felt the…
Read moreJohn 4:13-14 (ICB) “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give will become a spring of water flowing inside him. It will give him eternal life.’” I heard Kathryn Khulman mention this verse, and suddenly, I…
Read moreI share a bedroom with my daughter, and as I was sleeping, I heard someone calling my name repeatedly—”Mum, mum, mummy, mum.” Half-asleep, I finally woke up, and she softly said, “Mama, pray for me.” I have my bed, and she has hers, so in my drowsy state, I wondered why she was asking for…
