Seeking God for guidance

Two meaning messages from the Psalm of David that I resonated with in my existing situation. Bring me out of distresses, O Lord.

Psalm 6: 6-10

6 I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. 7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. 8 Away from me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. 10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they…

Be thou my vision

My Bible had gathered dust.

Life had been good until August 2019 (last year). Family, people and things I love and taken for granted were taken away from me. I experienced grief, sorrow and pain so agonising and excruciating that no words can explain.

The grief was so unbearable that I often I wish I was dead.

God sent good people my way and through their fellowship, today is my…

What immediately come into your mind if you were asked to ponder on what topic to write or talk about with the world BELOW.

With me as someone who promoted the HBO TV Series working in that line (though I didn’t follow it then and still haven’t watched it now) BELOW just made me think immediately of ‘6 feet under’.

Funnily enough, the series was titled ‘6 feet UNDER‘ and not BELOW. Either way,…

I was brought up in a Buddhist family that practice ancestors worship, prayed in temples and set up altars during Chinese New Year to pray to the Kitchen God or Moon cake festival to pray to the Moon.

Neil Armstrong landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.  I was seven years old and as far as I remembered, we continued to ‘worshipped’ the moon till I was in my early teens.

I studied in a mission…

Fall, leaves, fall

By Emily Brontë Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away; Lengthen night and shorten day; Every leaf speaks bliss to me Fluttering from the autumn tree. I shall smile when wreaths of snow Blossom where the rose should grow; I shall sing when night’s decay Ushers in a drearier day.

I thought I will blog a summary of what DNA is about in layman’s term. Being an avid follower of Korean drama series, most storylines are about children growing up in orphanage and parents wanting to find their lost child through DNA tests. Most plots would have episodes of someone trying to steal a toothbrush or a strand of hair or a mug or cup that the child drank from and sent to the lab and…

Vaguely as many remembered As each day passes Glimpses of what happened Understanding not the past nor the future Everything in life is so nebulous.        

Deplete but not deprived Essential living Poverty not in the least Live on needs not wants Efficient not extravagant Trim and frugal Enjoy what you have and make it last.              

Life strategy – Know yourself

Life is full of surprises, some good, some bad. As a child, you learn and observe in a totally dependable relationship. As you grow older, you start to have your own mind over things. You develop as an individual. Some grow up and live by chance while others live by choice. You can either be the pilot of your own life or you let other people or situations take control. In good times, it is sweet…

A demon and an angel

She has been battling depression for over a decade. No one other than her doctor knows of her sickness. She suffers emotional loneliness and agony, not so much physical pain. Wearing an invisible veil, she walks around with a smile on her face. Day in and day out. In dark hours, she did things intentionally to harm herself. Going to a bar and drink till she was no longer sober Feeding the slot…
