“you will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.” (Job 11:18-19) — Hope should be like a ray of light in the darkness. Hope should be like a water spring in the desert. But, can you deny it, that sometimes it takes more than just courage to hope? When does hope become a burden on our shoulder?
[ENG] It happened when i prayed with tears pouring from my eyes. I was dealing with my enemy since a long time – fear. I was lost at the moment – it tormented me with dark lies everyday. But when i came to God’s presence, He taught me a precious lesson to cast away fear.
“It needs more than a positive thinking to cast away your fear.”
[ENG] As i scroll down my social media’s timeline, i found that there are a lot of news about youth’s going depressed and decide to end their life or some postings showing their frustration about the world’s demands on their shoulder. Allow me to say that this depression and frustration comes when we can’t deal with the word “failure”.
[ENG] Mind is one of God’s gift to all human beings. We as human has the most complex mind than the other living beings. As someone who has the most complex mind, we will face 2 screens every day. We are flooded with the good and bad thoughts in almost everything we’re facing. But the good news is, you can actually choose which one you’d like to go with
[ENG] So, this month we are welcoming 2 spectacular movies which are Batman Vs Superman and Kung Fu Panda 3. I found it’s interesting that both movies talk about 1 question which is “Who am i?” I have watch both of them but today i’d like to share about what i got and what you’ve missed from the movie Kung Fu Panda 3.
[ENG] So, one fine afternoon when I was looking at my computer, i looked at the recycle bin on my desktop and suddenly i felt the Holy Spirit urged me to write about this recycle bin. About this recycle bin actually i have wondered for quite some time, how come this recycle bin always looked full even though there’s only 1 file deleted inside. I suppose you’ll be asking why am i even need to wonder about this? Well, i am that kind of woman who always wants everything on place. I cleaned the recycle bin often (and still wondering if it’s a good thing or not haha).
[ENG] Today i’m gonna go deeper about waiting. By God’s grace, i am now in a process called waiting – there are so many ups and downs, but wow i am amazed by God’s wisdom and the deep revelations i am about to share one of them to you. I am touched by His gentleness and love as a Father and Saviour. One thing i’m feeling now is that, “How could i dwell in Your thoughts, Oh my Sovereign Lord, as your thoughts are so much greater and higher than mine?”
Are you awaiting for something? Let’s dive in with me deeper.
[ENG] Most of woman dreams to be a powerful woman. The weaker that woman feels the more she wants to be powerful. But what is a woman’s power exactly? Is it them who could proof that they can do things more than men, that we called powerful? Is it them who don’t burst out to tears when the hardship comes, that we called powerful? Is it them who have big muscles or high position, that we called powerful?
[ENG] Life is a book with lots of pages within that only ends when we finished our story. The breezing wind and the light of the sun shines through the trees could bring so many stories to fill in, which whispering this fingers to put on the ink.
When i was a girl, i used to be told, “to be a woman, you should behave like a woman. Close your legs while you are sitting down.”

When i was at college, i used to be told, “to be a woman means that you have to got a style.”
So, what does it really take to be a woman?
