Many times we'll find ourselves perched on the branch of discouragement. A spoon on which even honey doesn't taste sweet. The sadness of that can be overwhelming in our spirit. To those in that pit, Jesus has these words of comfort; “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. My Father’s house [...]

Resurrection Sunday and The Rock for president.
If there's anything Christ has taught me, it's that we don't live for ourselves. In us rests the potential and ability to impact the world. That ability is only stimulated when selfishness dies. Ironically I have spent a lot more time redefining my 'SELF' than I have in defining my love for others. You can't [...]
Imitation Games
I have this hobby of imitating dances that I like. It's mostly for likes and popularity entertainment and health. It's easy to imitate someone on the outside, it's harder to imitate who they are on the inside. While I'm sure there are those in this individualistic-driven economy who would disagree with me (leave it [...]
In Dew Time
I heard His footsteps before I saw His face. I felt, rather than saw His hands touch the doorknob, yet I would not let Him unlatch. I fling the door wide open, unashamed of how He would see desperation paint my every feature. I have been waiting for an eternity it would seem. His hair is [...]
Spit On Me
I recently wanted to get LASIK for my eyes because the ophthalmologist told me contact lenses were making my eyes dry. But when I went to the clinic I was rejected for the procedure because my corneas were not thick enough. HOWEVER, there is another procedure, ICL, where they insert "corrective lenses" into your eyes. Besides putting the [...]
Vanilla Bouquet
Friday night I was rushing to pack for my trip down to Malacca in conjunction with Chris and Audrey's wedding and in my haste I accidentally dropped two bottles of car fresheners on the floor. One broke and one didn't. Within seconds my entire room was filled with the thick scent of Ambi Pur's Vanilla Bouquet. And [...]
Tears For Food, Sorrow For Water
If you want to know the true nature of a person, turn the heat up. Dr Neal Patterson Parental Discretion Advised. I've been in a funk. I don't know if anyone else has noticed. The reason for it, doesn't matter. Because dwelling on things I cannot change has proved superfluous. What matters more than anything, [...]
Keep Calm and Walk On Water.
Something I heard at cell a few weeks ago really stuck to me. I've always known it, but it only really sunk in today; Peter was the one and only man, to walk on stormy waters. I'm not ignorant of what I'm going through. I'm aware that I'm not taking this whole growing up thing [...]
Holy Adrenaline
I'm 24. I have been to too many church camps. Camps I've embarrassed myself, camps I've physically hurt myself, camps I stalked my crush... In every one of those camps, I encountered God. And after every one of those camps, it turned out to be a temporary high. It's like once I left the literal mountain, for [...]
The Vultures Have Come
In the chase for the ultimate dream life, the vultures will follow. When promised descendants as many as the stars and the grains of sand, Abram hadn't even had one child yet. Yet he believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. To bind that promise he sacrificed to God animal offerings. Some [...]
