It has been 12 months living in this country and there are countless things I always get amazed with. Looking back, when everything sank in towards the end of March last year that finally I'd be coming to Japan, a lot of mixed emotions were felt. Thought I'd be so lonely and homesick when I get here.

Puzzled with many frustrations and how to overcome these lately. It’s the first month of 2020 and I’m supposed to plan and start doing the things I have to achieve or keep doing this year. I’m not busy at work this week as I have few hours of classes every day. I could have supposedly [...]
I thought I am strong. It's the first time I think that I felt so emotionally down after coming to Japan.

How can I continue to live out this verse, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds, and glorify your Father [...]
(After reading and meditating these poetic books in the Bible, it inspires me to do journaling through writing more poems that might be worth-sharing.) Frustrations, anxieties, fears. Persistence, determination, trust. All these sentiments & feelings I lay down & bring at Your feet. How shall I handle this new heavy load at [...]
(A poetry reflection from my one-week devotions of the book of Job.) God does some things we can't understand, Even nature can't tell everything about His plan. His wisdom is perfect, He has it by His essence. His wisdom supersedes all human existence. God sees our ways and counts every step we take, [...]
(Just started the book of Psalms. The LORD has revealed a lot more about Him in this journey of an intimate walk with God through digging deeper in His Word.) Me: "How I treasure the depth of these poetic words, Words express the same heart I have. A heart hungry for more of God, [...]
