Showing your love to me

How can I show support to you? Sometimes we feel like we can't ask someone else to support you in a specific way. Who said we can't? Of course, when it's  demanded, there can be negative consequences, but when we genuinely need something, and we tell people that this is what we prefer, then what is the harm in that? 

After 10km

My favorite Chinese word is 迷茫, which translates to, perplexed. I was feeling so perplexed today. It was a feeling of general uneasiness that stemmed from my body and my heart. I found it extremely difficult to concentrate, to be productive. Made sure I had some food to see it it was my sugars. But who was I kidding, I knew it was because I had a lot on my mind. 

By mid afternoon, I was convinced that a 10km run would solve everything. I usually slow jog 5km several times a week. a) for general fitness b) to escape my work, I always come back more productive c) to spend some time with God d) all of the above. However, today, today called for something more extreme. There were things in my heart weighing me down. 

Friends are gifts from God

Being able to share your joys, fears, feelings and thoughts is something we often take for granted. At least in my line of work, people trust me enough to disclose to me things they have never disclosed to anyone else. I am  incredibly blessed to be a keeper of such secrets. I am incredibly blessed to be able to comfort those in distress, share joys with those recovering and simple to be present when others feel lonely. 
At the end of the day though, I often find that I cannot trust others enough to share my thoughts, feelings and desires. I often only share with others once the ordeal is over. When I am already coping and on the path to recovery. Why is that? Is it because I think others will judge that I am not competent enough? That I am weak? Or is it because I haven't been able to find someone I can really confide in, the same way as other people confide in me? 
Friends are truly a gift from God. If I am able to find a friend, someone to share my life's journey with, it would be a spectacular blessing. If I can find someone I can be around and let down my guard, that would be a fantastic joy. I too long for that type of connection. But you know what? We always try to look for things in humans that can only be achieved when we look through God. 
He is my only comforter who is ever present in joy, fear and peace. He is the only one who I can talk to about anything and everything. He has searched my heart, despite all my weaknesses, insecurities, flaws and loves me just the same. He is only a prayer away. And we can spend eternity with him.
But in the meantime, our brothers and sisters are here for support. We can lean on them somewhat to get through tougher times and share our joys and achievements with. I pray that everyone can find the eternal friend that I have found in God, ... someone I can count on to straighten me out, and pick me up and tells me not to give in. 



17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. 18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way. 19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? 20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

1 Thessalonians 2:17-20


So until next time, even if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains :)

Wisdom to know the difference

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference. – Reinhold Niebuhr



When the road ahead seems tough, there are grey clouds up ahead, does this mean that God wants us to stop going forward? Or does he want us to keep going? 

A brand new start

It's always exciting beginning a new journey. You may start to imagine the destination, plan what you want to do once you get there. But a lot of the fun is in the process, the journey itself.

Today, is the start of a brand new journey. This is a brand new blog where I will share my faith, even if it's as small as a mustard seed. The future looks so much brighter and full of hope when I know the Lord is there to guide me.
