Thought on 1 Peter 5:7

“Cast all your anxiety on the Lord, because He cares for you” 1 Peter 5:7 I have always thought this is a cliche verse, “yea, right, you don’t know what I’m going through, of course you can say that to me?!” But hey, doesn’t the Bible tells the truth and the truth only? Yes, of [...]

WHY???

Little kids love to ask this, “but… why???????”, usually emphasis around “why” when they were told some sort of a truth – like “do not bite your nails” or “it is getting late”.  Usually there’s a sensible answer to them and they can appreciate the truth, other times it may not even be something an [...]

Fear not

I have written a lot on fear lately, a sign that I should work on this year.  Perhaps because this is constantly on my mind of late I find my mind susceptible to fearful thoughts – they make their entry in the wee hours of the night and I end up not sleeping very much or [...]

New year resolution 2

Another thing to remember about standing up straight is to remember this – today is a gift…. so treasure it.  Not letting people, things and circumstances grip me is one big step towards standing up straight. I have a very funny mind – it goes off tangent when things do not happen as I expect [...]

Voice of truth

This is one of my favourite songs.  It first caught my attention when I was driving to work one day, a day when the voices in my head have overtaken everything else for the past days.  No doubt, the chorus spoke to me loud and clear that morning in the car, reminding me that those [...]
