https://youtu.be/BNU-6qDGcQE As I meditated on Psalm 130:5 a few evenings ago, a tune came and I found myself singing this prayer to the Lord. May this help calm all anxious, troubled, and waiting hearts.
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a King, born to reign … Continue reading Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Not Needed
"Not needed" - these two words came upon me two evenings ago. Next came the epiphanic thought that "not needed" is a good place to be. "Not needed" allows one to explore unknown terrains and enjoy the landscape one is in. This is in stark contrast to the situations most people are in - "being … Continue reading Not Needed
A Courageous Adventure
Yesterday felt like a new beginning, 1 Jun 2022, Wed. After days of not being able to sleep, my body finally caved in last night. I was up at 4am, hungry. I freshened up and took out from the fridge the fried rice I bought yesterday from a Chinese café. The portion was huge. It … Continue reading A Courageous Adventure
Putting to Death my ‘Isaac’
The pain and ache of the loss is real - the putting to death a dream that one has held for over twenty years, the letting go of what one thought was his/her specific calling. The momentary feeling of regrets, of 'what ifs', of 'perhaps I should have' has the power to derail us from … Continue reading Putting to Death my ‘Isaac’

Our faithful guide: He who treads the road of service, Christ the Lord, the crucified. We are people on a journey, taking up the … Continue reading We Are People on a Journey
Morphing II
Today's the start of Lent—Ash Wednesday. I slept straight through for eight hours last night, which was rare. The sleep ended with a dream, in which I was teaching, projecting my voice above the noise and the semi-convinced listeners, about one thing that I was passionate about. My physical body was awakened by the last … Continue reading Morphing II
Morphing…
It happened again. The draft disappeared on its own. This was one reason for my silence since last November. The other was that I felt quite tired of my own despair, and posting about it. The past six months since last July had been a difficult journey of rediscovering my identity, vocation, and purpose in … Continue reading Morphing…
Psalm 16 – 耶和华我神
God knew the confused state that I would be in, and the searching questions that I would be struggling with in the months ahead. After what seemed like a prophetic dream one July night, a tune floated into my mind along with the phrase 'You are my Lord' that morning and stayed. Why am I … Continue reading Psalm 16 – 耶和华我神
