Love. Life. Inspiration
Feel so good to hold these printed cards again, after two years. Above all my prayer to Abba is that I don't want anything that You don't want for me. I only want the things that You want for me, because I know that You only have the best for me. God is ever faithful.... Continue Reading →
Everything Everything with God is about SET timing. It may seem like nothing's happening, but at the SET time, it will come to pass. Ecclesiastes 3: 11
A WhatsApp message from a friend recently served as a wake up call. It seemed surreal as I couldn't have imagined the news ‐ She's undergone an urgent operation due to a brain tumour. We're around the same age. She's relatively healthy. Shell shocked, I am reminded again of the fraility of life. Personally, to have... Continue Reading →

There is always Beauty, even in Brokenness This world is often seen as dark and painful, with so much fear and hatred all over. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience. But there’s still so much beauty. Beauty in nature, when a crimson sunset hits the horizon. Beauty in the warmth of... Continue Reading →
In moments like this, I am amazed by the Grace of God. Even in the midst of my own pain, He works through me to minister to my dad, whom I would never dream of having this conversation with - an impossible conversation.

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10 NKJV . . This verse is such a timely reminder for me. . . Having both parents with cancer plus my own health scare years back, there were times i felt like there is a double... Continue Reading →

I cried, ugly cried to God. Feeling utter despair, extreme loneliness, pressure from demands of work and life, I cried " I can't do this, I'm crushing, I am melting down. I really need your help Jesus!!!" Just when I thought my grace is under pressure, that i can't hold it in and suck it... Continue Reading →
As I ponder this week on the coming Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. I realised that Jesus died not only to give us a 'ticket' to heaven. There is so much depth to His work on the cross. Whatever I see Jesus on the cross, I'm given the exact opposite. Jesus was naked, so... Continue Reading →
JOSHUA 1:9 AMP Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Fear is a powerful emotion. Fear drives us to do somethings, fear paralyzes us not to do anything. Sometimes, fear can be good,when it keeps... Continue Reading →
Valentine's Day. The day Love is celebrated throughout the world. Sometimes, I wonder and secretly think if this day has been conspired by cards and chocolate manufacturers, florists, or jewelry retailers. If you're, somewhat like me, not really looking forward to Valentine's Day, because you are single and not found your significant one -... Continue Reading →
Few minutes more to 2018 and it's all beginning to make sense.
Would you pray for a total stranger, without being asked to? Here's how it happened, for me. This week, I received an email reply from the secretary of an organisation I was making some enquiries with. I had written in a couple of weeks ago, as the matter was not urgent, I didn't bother to... Continue Reading →
Recently I suffered a health relapse, that left me lying on my bed, gasping for breath. On one of the worst days, I found myself rolling on my apartment kitchen floor in pain, after about 2 hours of agony, I threw up my lunch (verbatim). I know it's kind of gross but that's a fact,...

Tonight I shared a very special moment with my Abba Father. As I lay on bed, meditating on His love for me. Out of the blue, I recalled a past prayer request. A few years ago, a friend asked me to pray for someone who had backslided and stopped going to church. I kept this... Continue Reading →
Another sleepless night that I found myself in, I got up and try to do some writing. Past weekend, this sentence kept coming into my mind: Don't let your past rob you of your future. We all have something in the past that caused us heartache, a break up, a career mistake, financial loss, divorce,... Continue Reading →
It's Friday evening, I just knocked off from work, ( well actually more like knocked out ). It's one of those days that you unknowingly made a teeny weeny silly mistake and start feeling a wee bit down. As I stepped into as busy mall, can't help but noticed the crowd, shoppers, diners; after all... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the most heart warming realisation comes through the most mundane of activities. Today I went as usual to the food court to have lunch. Ordering lunch is a routine, nothing exciting, nothing special, I'm kind of the 'eat to live' type of person. Food does not excite me that much, neither are the lunch... Continue Reading →
Dear Beloved Child, My love for You is unconditional, it does not depend on what you do or who you are, it’s all about who I am. I am God, I am Your Father and I am Love. To Me your’re worth more than a million stars, you’re totally worth it. If you... Continue Reading →
"Trust Me, I will make all things beautiful in My time. Trust Me, I will catch you when you jump. Trust me, I will never let go of My hand. Trust Me, I have a good plan for you." I stand in awe, as these words echoed in my mind as He beckons me... Continue Reading →
I shouted “Why!” He assured “Trust Me.” I retorted “Why me?” He replied “Because you’re my beloved.” I cried “It’s too painful, I’m so alone! I can’t make it!” He reminded gently “I’ve borne every rejection, betrayal, heartbreak, injustice, I understand.” Overtaken by a rush of emotions as I recall His sacrifice at Calvary,...

Are you lonely? Do you feel left out, rejected, alone? Loneliness feels so cold yet stings like a hot scorching flame. I know too well the pain of loneliness. The feeling that gnaws you and injects such immense pain into your soul that you wish you could just be free from it right away. It... Continue Reading →

For there would be no sunrise without dark nights, ... , no restoration without brokenness. Life is unpredictable. The only thing constant is change, just like the four seasons. And much like the many parodies of life, the human heart is so intended for contrast that, without one, we would not comprehend... Continue Reading →
"The spirit of abandonment makes us vulnerable to please others at all cost, often without us realizing it..."

FRED et marie (English subtitles) from fredetmarie on Vimeo. When we think about abuse in a relationship, we often think of bruised faces, scars on arms and legs.

This morning, I woke up to the warm bright morning sun. I took a look at my clock, which says 6, I knew my clock has stopped. Yes, time to change the battery, I said to myself. So I hastened to my drawer, managed to scour for a small AA battery, pluck the... Continue Reading →
The more I know God, the more I realise Life is not about the past. What's past cannot be undone. No amount of regret can turn back time. Life is not about the future. For who are we to ponder, as if we know any better. Life is about the present. For everyday from God is... Continue Reading →

What Motivated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr?.
As we look back at the year, let's not look back in anger, neither should we look back in defeat. Instead look back with gratitude. Be thankful for the afflictions, for they have made your heart stronger. Be thankful for the betrayals, for they have made your eyes brighter. Be thankful for the... Continue Reading →
Christmas is here again, carols, jingle bells, gifts, gatherings and dinners. Gift exchanges are the norm, with friends and family. We all have many wants in life, a new watch, a new dress, a new designer handbag or even wealth, fame, fortune, popularity... I know I'm guilty of these secret wishes some times. This year,...

For the Psychology inclined, dig this: The fulfillment of one’s potential, or self-actualisation is regarded to be critical to psychological well-being and optimal mental health (Rogers, 1959). Maslow proposed that self-actualisation is achieveable only when basic needs (physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem needs) are fulfilled. According to Maslow, self-actualisation includes... Continue Reading →

In the honour of World Book Day, I thought I would share a post inspired by one of my favourite books.
A while ago I watched some You Tube clips of Will Smith, one of my idols, and in one interview with Travis Smiley, Will mentioned the book called The Alchemist written by Paulo Coelho and how it changed his life. If a book has such a profound affect on a great thinker and inspirational guy like Will then I thought it was worth giving it a go.
I bought it and read the full thing in less than a week and wasn’t disappointed. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a long book and is so intriguing that you’ll rattle through the 197 pages in no time. What was refreshing and inspiring was that I got the story, I recognised the hidden meanings and what…

I think there's a certain delusional quality that all SUCCESSFUL people have to have, YOU have to BELIEVE that something different than what has happened for the past 50 million years CAN happen. Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity. What's the point of being realistic? It's UNREALISTIC to walk into a... Continue Reading →

About halfway into our day on the road together, he said that he was pleasantly surprised about my driving. For some reason,... Continue Reading →
By Bernie O’Donnell Despite the likelihood that salespeople are the most studied species among mankind, we continue to hire, incent and coach them based upon an erroneous set of beliefs. The result is missed opportunities, low margins, missed quotas, unacceptable service and — the mortal sin — lost customers. There is absolutely no basis for... Continue Reading →
