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.
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.
Theology Series 1: Jesus
If the reader reads the New Testament first, then returns to the Old Testament to study it, they will find that the shadow of Christ is written all over the Old Testament and that the whole Bible is the redeeming of God’s people through one person—that is Christ.
A New Chapter
I was afraid to let her go. What if I am faced with trials I cannot handle on my own again? But I know and trust 100 percent, that God has and will always provide the agent that is needed when the road gets long and the journey gets tough. "Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life (Psalm 54:4)."
The Slain Idol
Every smile, every cry, and every laughter that came out of his tiny soul melted my heart like a fiery wax candle. He gave me joy, he gave me a new identity, he gave me a new sense of purpose. Unbeknownst to me, in those first three months, I negligently put my son above the One who created him.
Why Do You Love This Way?
The more I got to know about my Love Language, the more intrigued I was to learn why I want to be loved in that way. When I don’t receive quality time, why do I feel like an uncared for child?
Motherhood is…
No mom community, advice column, or motherhood blog really prepares moms for the chasmic valleys we have to walk through because every journey is different. I still have a lot of learning ahead of me, but here is one thing that is sure and real and infinite for all moms, we have a God that holds us.
