Loved. Accepted. Of great worth. I’ve heard these probably a million times. Yes, I know, I say in my mind. God loves me. I know. But do I? It suddenly dawns on me that I don’t really feel like I’m “of great worth” at all. In fact, I often feel like I’m probably not worth…
A drop in the ocean
God, I don’t know if this “drop of sadness” (compared to the ocean of unending joy that eternity brings), this period of pain, disappointment and longing will end this year, or in 5 years, or only when you come again – but this I do know, that eventually, it will end. ‘Til then, help me to trust…
Thanks, Titus
Never thought I’d have an emotional epiphany while watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, but Titus Andromedon pretty much summed it up. I think that’s why it hurts so much; when someone takes the time to know you and still decides to leave.
You Are So Loved
Hey you. Your Instagram feed or Facebook timeline will be an endless of stream of pretty flowers, date nights & sweet messages today. But your phone hasn’t rung at all; neither has your doorbell – nor do you expect it to. In reality, Valentine’s Day doesn’t change the truth of your situation, but it certainly…
The Great Exchange
This Christmas, as with most, you’ll exchange gifts, hugs & well-wishes. And though you may not even step into a church or see any nativity scenes this year, perhaps your Christmas celebration may have more to do with Jesus than you think! Why? Well, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, and on that very day,…
There Are Days
There are days when I cannot see the light When I feel its been Too long, too wearisome— Too tired to fight There are days when The silence kicks in And, surrounded by people, The one voice you don’t hear Becomes louder than a scream There are days when I just want to be alone…
All That Glitters
I kinda hate how almost every argument on the Internet these days has to make its point by throwing someone or something else under the bus. Maybe “hate” is too strong a word; at the very least, it saddens me. Case in point this week: the Schooling vs ‘Foreign Talent Scheme’ debate, unceremoniously mingled with…
Though You Slay Me
Video: A Song for the Suffering (with John Piper) I come, God, I come Return to the Lord The one who’s broken The one who’s torn me apart You strike down to bind me up You say You do it all in love That I might know You in Your suffering Though You slay me Yet…
2015: What A Year To Be Singaporean
Usually, my end-of-year reflections don’t tend to extend nationwide. I can’t claim to be that patriotic nor politically zealous. But this year, 2015, what with it being SG50 and all, I guess an exception should be made. After all, it has been a rather exceptional year. It has been, to say the least, an interesting…
“Why can’t Christians date non-Christians?”
It’s a question that is regularly asked, but not always accurately answered. It confuses, perplexes, and even angers both Christians and non-Christians alike. It sounds elitist, holier-than-thou, and downright condescending. But trust me, it’s not meant to be. I’m 28 this year, I’m single, and one of the most common things I hear from my…
Kick
Long, long ago, when I was still a little girl (ha!), Wednesday nights were looked forward to because of one thing and one thing only: Mambo Night! Those were the days, man. “Cause I’m guiltyyyyyy” Of late, Wednesday nights have once again resurrected from social oblivion and cemented their status as my official mid-week perk up….
Merdeka
I think its kind of fitting that, on the weekend we celebrate our independence and “freedom” as a country (yay SG50!), I, too, celebrate my own freedom of sorts. Hang on, I know that was way too many commas in one sentence, but whatever. Freedom from what, you ask? FACEBOOK FREEDOM, YO. Yes, I began my…
My revolution's going in circles.
