Temporary pain, permanent position
If you haven’t learned by now, especially from my redundancy in storytelling, Joseph (The Prime Minister of Egypt) is one of my favorite people in the Bible. I am so moved and inspired about his story, because despite his opposition and ill intentions of the enemy, he prevailed, although it didn’t look as though he […]

Handpicked
I sometimes feel that some people (including myself) think, how I, of all people, can speak and share God’s word especially when I’m not “qualified” or “righteous” enough to do so. If you’re one of those people, I’ll tell you what God laid in my spirit, when I asked Him the same. I was chosen, […]

Over in 10
The older I’ve gotten, I found that challenging situations, or people, I should say, don’t bother me so easily. If I should find myself in said situation, I do one of two things: don’t respond or give a rebuttal. Should I go with the latter, I express my feelings, frustration, or sometimes anger, and immediately […]

Think about today
I was strolling through my Instagram feed earlier and came across one of the sweetest videos I’d seen. It was of an elderly father (age 80-ish) and his daughter, driving across state. Might I point out that he was the one driving. There wasn’t a whole lot to the 30-second soundbite, other than witnessing a […]

Recalculating
I don’t like driving long distances, and I certainly don’t like anyone or anything that’s going to delay my arrival time. I remember some years back when I used to drive to visit my late father in the nursing home, I would often get mixed up with making the right turn, and knowing when to […]

It’s a celebration
Do you know what it’s like to be celebrated? Treated like a big deal? Applauded, even if the only set of hands you hear clapping, are yours? Are you feeling a bit unappreciated, after posting countless of “Facebook Appreciation Posts,” yet everyone appears to have discounted you? If you’re feeling a little less loved today, […]

Working in silence
“How do you do that?” Is the question I remember being asked quite often by one of my “concerned” colleagues, to which I’d respond, “How do I do what?” “How do you work in silence, because I’d lose my mind if things were this quiet. When people don’t hear you doing anything, they could presume […]

Not enough room
No matter how many pairs of shoes or clothes I own, I’ve always bought more, while maintaining there’s not enough room for me to house them all. Nonetheless, I always manage to clear out space, only to occupy it with my latest purchase(s). Although I’m not ready to purchase a home, I’ve been obsessing over […]
