Blog

At six years old, my mind was filled with thoughts that challenged my being – thus began my writing journey.

You can imagine how mortified I felt when my parents found my writings in my little black journal. They read every detail of my heart…and unfortunately, disciplined me for the things that were on my heart. After that, I neglected my journal for years because I was afraid someone other than my parents would find my journal and know the depths of my heart. However, as time went on, I moved pass the incident. The writings in my journals morphed into poems, then into song lyrics, and now this.

Writing was always easy for me because it was really the only way I was able to express and comprehend my own feelings.

Over the years, I’ve archived my journals into a large file box so if I ever wanted to, I could relive the moments that made me the person I am today. Twenty years later and here I am. Still writing away my thoughts, but instead…on a digital journal (blog). Rather than being mortified of people discovering my heart on paper, I am now at peace with sharing all the intricate things God has placed on my heart. Why? Because I believe that though our relationship with God may be personal…it is not meant to be private.

It isn’t always easy — sometimes I have blogs sitting in my “draft” folder for months because my heart isn’t ready to be exposed to the world. But I know, in my suffering; in my joy; in my pursuit towards Christ, they are meant to be voiced to testify the goodness of God in my life.

At the ripe age of 29, I never thought I’d be here. But where is here…what is here? Here is being a “boss mom”. Well, at least that’s what my sister calls me. In her simple interpretation, a boss mom is a woman who works tenaciously in her job/career while balancing ambitious goals and caring for her family. But honestly, I don’t want to be a boss mom. I just want to be a “mom”.

Theology Series 4: The Millennium

We’ve all seen movies of what it may look like in the Last Days of mankind. Rapture, violence, evil, natural disasters, zombies, etc. But what does Scripture really say about the Last Days? Well, I can tell you that it is far more frightening than what we’ve seen on the television screen.

Theology Series 2: Sin

To us Christians, how dreadful is our sin when we’ve finally come to know the Holy of holies–God. As Christ lives in us, we can almost have a micro sense of what it was like for Jesus to bear our sins in his body on the cross at calvary.
