I’m sick… again. And I sent out a prayer request to my friends because I have to present at our church’s Catechist conference this weekend. I say I’m drenched in God’s love because even before I had completed sending out the sms prayer request, I began receiving smses and emails encouraging and blessing me. God […]

No lukewarm sentiments for me
Somehow, worldly, sophisticated and cultured speakers have lost their charm to me. The world has many good things, yes, that is without a doubt. But if we cut to the chase, knowing that we are all passing rapidly through this world as mere pilgrims, knowing that our destiny does not lie in this world, should […]
Lord, this is my desire…
There are times when I am just so intoxicated and swept up by the love of God poured into my heart by the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:5) that I wished my entire being could be poured out for him in return. Every fibre of my being thrums with the beat of Christ’s love in me. […]
The grace of being sick
There’s something about being physically ill that seems to help me spiritually. Without my choosing to, I become more docile, softer, and strangely, more patient and forbearing. These are all traits that do not occur naturally in my nature and temperament. The world seems to move past me in slow-motion, and I perceive the gap […]
Deep inner healing
Saturday had been the Alpha ‘weekend away’ on the Holy Spirit, and the service team had both received the laying of hands and had also ministered to the Alpha guests. I had been prayed over twice in the last 10 days and both times, long forgotten memories (ranging from infancy to teen years) had surfaced […]
True strength
Of what great accomplishment is it to “win friends and influence people” if I have not conquered myself? How much time do I spend focusing on the defects of others as compared to my own short-comings? How easily do I get distracted by what others do or fail to do? Would it not profit me […]
Having a true opinion of myself
For “In him we live and move and have our being.” – Acts 17:28 How foolish the lamp which takes pride in how much light it gives the room when it cannot shine without electricity or exist without the person who created it. God is the artist who made me. God is my electricity. I […]
Girl's Night Out at CSC
Yesterday was the last day of our Catholic Schools ‘Promo Run’ for Paul the Musical. We had eleven schools to cover in the east of Singapore, and it would have been impossible for one team to cover in an afternoon. As always, God provided, and our new full-time Pastoral Assistant at St. Mary’s volunteered to […]
Journal: God rocks!
Anyone who has ever had to write a paper or article would know how challenging that can be. On the rare occasions that you are inspired, the words just flow. But more often than not, you can find yourself stuck. And if you have to meet a deadline, you face the very real possibility of […]
Journal: God's love is greater
Of late, there are so many tasks I am doing that I have begun to lose sight of the forest for the trees. So easily am I sucked into ‘macro-mode’ (yes, like the camera) that I become focused on completing tasks and achieving results. And with so many different urgent tasks on my plate, it […]
