Have you ever been blamed for something you didn’t do? Or worse – something you deliberately didn’t do and goes against your entire character? Have you ever been pushed or kicked out of a job because someone lied about you? Have you ever gotten the short end of the stick in a situation where youContinue reading “Framed”

If God is Good
If God is good, why is there suffering and pain in the world? Not to intentionally nose-dive deep into theological philosophies, but I believe there’s a balance between God’s sovereignty and the free will he has given to mankind. Does God give mankind the freedom to choose their eternal destinies? Yes. But at the sameContinue reading “If God is Good”
To a Politically-Torn World
In the past year, it seems like the world has become more polarized with itself. Even within families, differences have spread into insurmountable gaps that seem impossible to cross. Whether it’s discourse over the COVID-vaccine, the 2020 political election, the attack of the Capital, racial justice, climate change, or any other number of “hot topics”, it seemsContinue reading “To a Politically-Torn World”
A Box of Chocolates
Love is in the air. Flowers and chocolates are being sold in every store and dinner reservations can be hard to come by. It’s almost Valentine’s Day – love it or hate it. Half a product of marketing (maybe more than half), and the other part a day where people express their feelings for eachContinue reading “A Box of Chocolates”
Choosing Redemption
I don’t think it is wrong to assume many people dream about receiving a proposal of marriage. In our day and time, it’s culturally normal for the man (and sometimes woman like Monica to Chandler in Friends), to get down on one knee and ask the person they have all the feelings for to spendContinue reading “Choosing Redemption”
Choosing Generosity
When I was a child, I was told, “giving is better than receiving”, when it came close to Christmas. I have always loved this holiday. As a little girl, I’d try to stay awake as long as I could, whilst I still believed in Santa Claus. In the morning, I would wake up early fullContinue reading “Choosing Generosity”
The Story Behind Silent Night
I love singing Christmas songs. Some have gotten old, some have become annoying yet I still find myself humming, “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas,” while doing the dishes, and some are enchanting like the hymn Silent Night. The text below comes from the third stanza and has been sung to celebrate the birth ofContinue reading “The Story Behind Silent Night”
Once Upon a Time
When I was a child, I loved stories regarding princes, princesses, heroes and villains facing off in the ultimate battle of good vs. evil. I wanted to be a princess, a queen even, and have a kingdom all to myself. It seemed like a fantastic idea to have people – my people – look upContinue reading “Once Upon a Time”
My First Love
God loved me first. Before I was even born, he knew my name, and he knew yours too. God loved me so much, 2,000 years ago he died for me, and he died for you. God loved us before we knew what love was. I’m one of those women who enjoy a good chick-flick orContinue reading “My First Love”
How to know if someone is “the one”
There are a lot of questions when dating or talking to someone you are interested in. In the beginning stages, you might think: Do they like me? Do they think I’m attractive? Will they call me again? Will they run the other way when they see the worst sides of myself? Do I have somethingContinue reading “How to know if someone is “the one””
