A Blog by Ann Yeong (2005 – )
For the past week, my husband and I have been working on a jigsaw puzzle. It was a gift from a friend and since neither of us are puzzle fans, it had been left untouched for a while. I finally decided to open it after a tough couple of weeks where my head and heart […]
As my birthday drew to a close this year, it hit me that this year marks 25 years since the first time I asked God for my mission – the mission He created me for. 25 years since Christ responded with, “Are you willing to suffer for me?” 25 years since He tenderly yet very […]
We All Have a “Bruno” A friend recently expressed surprise that Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has surpassed Frozen’s “Let It Go” in popularity. In fact, it recently hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart – a feat that hasn’t been accomplished by any song from an animated Disney feature since “A Whole New World” […]
