In one of our team meetings in February, my colleague Sigrid talked about 1 Kings 19:1–15. There was a lot to get from what she shared but my major takeaway was to make space for grace. It’s July now and so much has happened, and yet the word remains so relevant. Make space for grace.
Just Write (Part 2)
The other day, I was blessed with an opportunity to talk about one of my first loves—writing. I’m not in any way a professional writer. I didn’t even have comms-related courses in college! But I remembered that even way back in grade school, I would submit anonymous entries to the school paper; no, not articles,…
What will tomorrow bring?
One of the new roles I started to have this ECQ (sorry, I wrote this post around April and it got stuck in my drafts!), aside from being a master chef and a baker like most of you, is a plant momma!
I have plenty because I have little.
I came across the story of a widow who was in desperate lack financially that her late husband’s creditor was about to collect her two sons as payment for their debt. I couldn’t imagine the stress! But she got out of this situation, miraculously, after she brought her concern to God and did what He…
2019: A Year of Growth
How old are you? When I ask people to guess the answer they would say I’m in my late 20s. A week ago, the best guess was thirty four (I was turning thirty five). 2019 has been a year of growth in so many areas, so much #adulting and stretching than in previous years combined.…
Grace. Work. Grace.
It’s Monday and I got so excited to go to work! I don’t really know why, but everything I need to do today just pumped me up. Maybe it’s the caffeine fix of the perfect cappuccino Pao made me this morning? It’s so good I never have to go outside the house to get coffee…
Transitions: Soul on the Line
One of the perks of still being an executive assistant to some extent is that I still get to work with my pastor and have access to his ebooks. ? The moment I purchased for him the book, Strengthening the Soul of your Leadership, I made a mental note to read it. But that’s the…
Blessings Follow 3 W’s
It’s obviously been challenging writing content, even at two years postpartum. Between being a new mom and learning the ropes of a new job, having no helper and both Pao and I going to work, something’s gotta give… and blogging’s one of those (plus the upkeep of our house!!!). Anyway, I’m happy I found the…
Horror or Honor
There’s that itch to write again for how many days now but I don’t know what to write about. Then I remembered saying in a recent post, “Writing helps me process and remember that which I want to chronicle—life and learnings. Writing helps me remember.” So how was my week and what do I not…
Sharing is Caring
I have witnessed many transitions, both in corporate and in ministry, and noted that part of a successful transition is when the new person takes off from where the old person left from, instead of starting from scratch. When the new person starts from scratch simply because s/he did not bother to set aside his/her…
