The Mom I love!

-



It was Friday then (August 19, 1988), when most of the people are excited to end the week, but for my Mother, this time was truly the beginning of everything! The real pain on her belly is the most thrilling agony she could endure. 

The scream of a childbirth is the best noise that anyone could ever tolerate. After all, her apprehension was replaced by a celebration; her scream turned into grins, and the only tears was shed was a tear of joy.  This is my day, but the spotlight was meant for her to shine! This is our moment, me as her baby, and she as a new mother.

I was given a chance to live by the Almighty and certainly she was the very one who bravely endure the process. As I came out into this world, she delightfully embraced the role of a full-time Mom! I may never witness how excited she was when I came out of her, but every minute of my life I can barely see in her heart all best interests

    I remember how she tried hard to put a pin or ribbon in my hair and pretending that she do so well. During my school years, I always joined contests, and I observed that she was always the first one to clap even though I felt bad about my performance.

There are still times that I want her to be away from my side, but she graciously hid herself to me yet her eyes never get-off me. Her face is always the first I see in the morning, and patiently wait when I got home late. For some stuff, I always cling on to her choice, because at the end of the day I realized that her pick was actually exceptional. I never forget one sweet night when I woke up, I was surprised when I saw her hand laying on me, petitioning His will to be successfully done in my life.

As I grew older, I am proud to say that she never fails to be on my side, never a second, whenever I need someone to talk to, to cry on, and to laugh with. She is always present and that is what I am grateful for.  She is the picture of a true, loving and caring Mother, perhaps and unfortunately others are wandering what is the feeling to have a great Mom.


However, I am more than blessed to know and cherish this feeling of being a daughter of a real and excellent child-bearer. The Almighty exactly knew to whose breast I shall be placed, to whose embrace that constantly shut my fears away, and to whose heart whom can certainly understand my very need.  Fortunately, I was born, and gratefully she is here. I love her more than maybe even she could believe.

Ready or Not?

Perhaps you're wanting to start a new ministry, perhaps you're wanting to apply to another job or perhaps you wanted to get serious with someone you really like. Whatever it may be, there are seasons that God may tell us we are not ready but then later on, He will let us know when we are ready. These are my common realizations in the waiting as I traced God's way of telling me or encouraging me to do something new or start stepping into the unfamiliar place. If you're one of my closest, you know that I'm the type of person who won't do something if I know I'm not ready, or I didn't prepare myself for it. That's why I think carefully before writing this piece, because we have different personalities, levels of spiritual discernment, and of course God can speak to us in various ways. These realizations I share are based on my own experience, discernment, and meditation of The Word in connection of some events in the past where I strongly sensed God tel...

Love Not Nails

Sea of Galilee O pinions on fake news is getting worse, misinformation in social media rapidly circulates.  People are excessively concern of themselves and malicious comments are trending online. I've sensed so much hate, I've heard a lot of demands. This brought me to pause and dropped my phone and shut it off. I'm done praying when I grabbed my Bible to read.  The Holy Spirit took me to 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 and it recites the verses of love. I can always read this passage again and again because the word love is so rich and true. Words can't express enough, totally powerful, ineffable. He illuminates verse 7, "Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail." Love perfectly describes as eternal. Spurgeon once preached, "God is a sun that never sets." Indeed, the picture of the Cross is the best demonstration of love and truth, because it is love, not nails, what held Jesus on that cross and His love surpassed death because it doe...

When Love Becomes An Altar

I finished reading Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot on the 14th of February, 2007. I still remember jotting down some of the insights in an old journal. It’s been years since I turned its final page but the truth I encountered in that book never faded in time because what I learned in those pages didn't only touch my mind, but also shaped my view of love. And though it's been a while, I've come to realized that this quiet corner of the internet can also be a safe space where I mark my heart. So today, I want to pour out a part of that journey here, and I’m still in awe! I never imagined that someone else could deeply understand the same kind of emotional and spiritual struggles I faced. Elisabeth and Jim's story made me realize I’m not alone in wrestling with longing, impatience, and the ache of waiting. What inspired me most was discovering the kind of love they shared - a love fully surrendered to God. It wasn’t driven by impulse or emotion alone, but rooted in...
