I learned today, that while all along I have been trying to love God, I have not allowed God to love me. And linked to that is my inability to love and accept myself, and my ingrained idea that love needs to be merited. What a heavy burden it is that I have been carrying […]

The need to be broken
As I grow older, and my spiritual quest becomes deeper, I am increasingly aware of the many false images and walls I have built up over the course of my life. It is not the same as identifying false images ‘out there’ in the world or in society. Identifying false images in myself takes a […]
Health status update
I’m so grateful for the kind wishes and prayers that have been expressed for my recovery to health! A little update: I went to see my family doctor again today cos I’ve been coughing pretty violently. In fact, I woke up with sore ribs this morning! Good news is that the bacterial infection has cleared […]
Sick of being sick
What a way to start 2009! Since the stroke of midnight on Jan 1, I’ve been S.I.C.K. Interestingly enough, my parents and John were all sick around the same time too. And I don’t live together with them! Thankfully, the one I am living with seems relatively unaffected. :P I suppose I’m more or less […]
Do you really want to be healed?
There is a price that comes with good health – Responsibility. When we’re sick or crippled, we have an excuse to bum and let other people do the hard work for us. While we don’t live to the fullest, we may be able to get along quite comfortably with that chip on the shoulder. And […]
More than words
As 2008 drew to a close this week, God gave me a glimpse of what 2009 holds for me: Healing and mission. This past couple of weeks, I have realized that there are some parts of my life that require the healing touch of the Divine Physician. In fact, the last two weeks have culminated […]
Visiting Master Althan Ng

As the host, he offered us a choice of drinks. When I asked him what the choices were, Althan read the labels “Honey(suckle)”, “Ice Lemon […]
Christmas
When Christ said: “I was hungry and you fed me,” he didn’t mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on […]
Cream of mushroom soup
My all-time favourite western soup has got to be Cream of Mushroom. I mean the fancy restaurant grade kind that is creamy smooth to the taste and oozing with mushroomy goodness. And so it is that when Karen Cheng blogged about making that soup with her 5.5 yr old son, I decided I want to […]
Teddy bear and chocolate
My hubby came home last night carrying a teddy bear and a box of chocolates. They weren’t for me. ZB:“My WO (warrant officer) so cute… went on a trip and bought me this souvenir.” I took a look at the cute soft toy and chocolates and pictured one of the ‘uncles’ I had met among […]
