To be set apart 
is to be given an assignment 
that requires preparation
The preparation of being humbled -- for with humility comes wisdom
Of being lonely -- for a deeper sense of compassion
Of silence -- to be able to listen

We're set apart 
not set aside or overlooked
to be ready 
for the assignment ahead
The divine assignment


The Assignment

"Life is full of surprises" is not as clichéd as it sounds, when the unfolding of every moment in every aspect of our lives happens right before our eyes. Do we see it?

The Unfolding

Quiet Years was written from a place of recovery, both physically and emotionally, regaining the strength to finally stand free and victorious.

Quiet Years

Breathe in
as you dive
into the waters of Love
the serenity of Grace
the humility of the waves

Breathe in
as you take
that leap of faith
into the oceans of Peace
the reality of Joy
Breathe in...

Breathe In

Whenever I was reminded of haunting memories and junk from my past or presented with new difficulties, I’d naturally whisper to myself, “Why me?”. After a lot of years of Why Me’s, it was probably time to move on to something new. A new question -- “Since this is what I’m going through now and there’s nothing I can do about it now, what good can come out of it?”

Good did come despite the isolation, rejection, loss and mistreatment. I am on my way... further away... from that past. Peace found me.

Inspired to seek Him,
wherein our future lies.
Enough of lives dim
in the baggages of the heart.
Enough of failure and fear,
guilt and grudge, bitterness and blame,
senseless stigma and shame;
from them we shall depart...
Time to move on
from dreary night unto morning song;
enough of the past.

Enough of the Past

“The Way, the Truth, the Life”. As quite a precocious child, I often questioned what it meant. Told myself, maybe when I'm older, I'd understand. And when I began to, I'd considered it the best knowledge acquired so far.

Our own path is unique to us. Nobody on earth knows it better than you do. 
“Your life is a verse of God’s own writing with grief and groaning and glory that even the most eloquent words will not be able to express.”

“Follow Me, and I will make you” (Isaiah 41:14-15)
