It’s never the right time to say goodbye. I hate goodbyes; especially when they are for a long period of time. There’s always the feeling that you’re tearing apart or disconnected from a source that brings life to your everyday living. Nothing is ever the same and having to give last hugs and show affection for the last time to the ones you know and love is disheartening. I had a good life (with all due respect, it pays to be very honest). Life before coming to the mission field was all pure sunshine. I’d bask in the rays of pure happiness. Wake up at the crack of dawn, say my morning prayers and hum noticeably in the shower coz of the glorious day I knew it would be. Whether I had a boring lecture to attend or buddies to meet or simply sit in front of the computer and research on anything captivating… the thing was, I was happy; from the inside out. Then came the demoralizing news one evening… Dad had been transferred to another church. As a pastor’s kid, I probably got used i

Do what you have been assigned to do when you have been assigned to do it, how you have been assigned to do it. It's pretty simple, saves you the reality of unwanted consequences. Never hesitate to go the extra mile. IT DOESN'T HURT. You really never have to wait to be called so that you work, JUST DO WHAT YOUR HANDS FIND DOABLE. Work like the Boss. Treat what you are to do like it's your very own business. One day you will run your very own business and probably have people work under you. Ask yourself, 'How do I want my employees to work for me?' Aha. Then think through it and do the necessary. Never work for appreciation. Work because of Passion. Let the Passion be what drives you, and not the money or reward at the end. Passion gives inward satisfaction, a reward that you can get if only your goal for the money is not the main one. Love what you do. If you don't, chances are the results may not prove otherwise; Ana even if they do, the fe

I love my life. The high days and low existences all conjured up in one big colorful bead just makes it all the more sensational. I am that girl, you know that girl? That girl, who takes a day at a time, doesn’t move until she’s 100% sure she is right, but still along the way takes the risk and finds out “it wasn’t so bad after all?” Yes, I am that girl; that girl whose in love with being the martyr and never desires others to be that for her. Actually I do, it’s just that I don’t show that side of me most times. Though through the lens of God, I believe in being vulnerable… as hard as it may be, it is one the tools one needs in their survival kit in this journey called life, plus, it’s a requirement in my relationship with God (Hebrews 4:13)(and yours too) A while back, my buddies and I engaged in conversation about numerous topics under the sun; genuine love, trust, being judgmental and more so living life as a closed book. The last one gripped my attention “Living life as

New moon, full moon Burnishing its course through grilled glass Outlining every angle of an ill-defined shadow I hear the sound of the wind I feel it too I know it’s saying something But I am raw to its meaning I stay put Clinging to the gloom Perceiving the cost of befallen doom Awaken me from this nightmare Shell out this toll of despair Sing a song And let me hear it Stretch out your hand And ask me for a dance if you see fit Drown the anxiety engulfed in my sprit Let me find a joy and happiness so exquisite Light up the sun in my heart Disregard the fears within my soul Bring in the radiance To shine in my world as dark as coal Eradicate the torment Let me live happy ever after and not just a moment Mute the screams, the yells, the mourns and groans And let the beauty of the silence serenade my being. Lord, Cover me in the shadow of your wing, Eternally, Let me soak in the warmth of your ecstasy Taki
