I can hardly believe that 2008 is coming to an end and in less than 2 days' time, we are into a new year. I haven't been listing down any goals like last year but there are a few things that I'd like to achieve in 2009. Looking back, I'm once again thankful to God for a blessed year and for being there amidst the storms and trials of life. Life is never a bed of roses but it's comforting to know t

A Christmas spent alone can be a pitiful thing when the neighbours are roasting the turkeys and the laughter of gift exchange ring so loud from the windows next door. While Christmas is about the diamonds and luxury gifts for the rich and famous, it’s really more than just these glittery and materialistic stuff.

Often times we tend to let the blessings in life go by unnoticed. This is not an intentional thing. We are often so busy with life that the little blessings in life simply pass by unnoticed. While having extra time this week to rest and having nothing to do but sit and enjoy my newest child, I have been able to spend time reflecting. There are so many ways in which the Lord has blessed me that if

A day curled up in bed sounds lovely - so lovely, in fact, that you've wished for fervently for months - until you're forced into it by some nasty hobgoblin of a chest infection, some vile viral force that squeezes your lungs and throat and holds your aching body to the mattress and pillow and forbids you from enjoying for even one millisecond the fact that you are curled up in blankets in the mid

Counting your blessing is one good way of lifting up your spirit especially when you’re down and troubled. It’s more than re-energizing those rustic neurons in your brain that needs lubrication. More likely when there’s an impending problems in life we tend to anticipate the problems with worry rather than lifting them up to God and let Him work in our life. Trust God to direct your life

I have had a very bad day today. Things are just not getting any better. Everyday is a little worse. Yesterday my keys were stolen at church. God has really given me a gift of being calm during a crisis. I don't know where else it would come from. We open up our gym in the church to the inner city kids and high schoolers. Last night was my first time to go. I was already a little
I found a fun little article that deviates from the usual disk encryption stories. I was looking over Gizmodo today, and happened upon this post about a Tokyo shrine that blesses computers. Quite a number of blogs have picked up on it. Granted, you still might want to invest in a less-than-godly method like AlertBoot hard drive encryption solutions. You know, just in case t
While neglecting the serious blogger within, I've been getting all metaphysical and stuff. I recently ordered a number of books from Amazon and hunkered down to get enlightened. And dogoneit, if that isn't exactly what happened.My new favorite book is called The Gift of Change by Marianne Williamson. In it she talks about replacing the fear in our lives (and in our world) with love. Not romant

We were truly blessed when we went for our Ipoh Trip last week. We met able to join the seminar, met with our friends and on the way back home, we were also able to visit our family in Taiping.We stayed in one of our friend's house and indeed they were very hospitable and blessed family. We admire the parents and how they've brought up their children ( in their 20s) to be very respectful and kind.
Wild WeekendTimothy Byrne spent last weekend all the way over in America in Las Vegas. Believe it or don’t, he won over $100,000, playing mostly at the dice tables.Knowing that all of his friends and relations would be trying to borrow money from him if they knew about his good fortune, he contemplated what he should do with his new found wealth. Upon arriving home late at night, he immediately
The last 2 weeks have been stressful, with my internet service down on several days and my computer in the shop for 9 days. I also had the edits for both my new books given to me on the same day last week and undoing some of the editor’s damage for one of them increased my agita. My deadline for it was yesterday. I worked long days on it and did little else. Right after I finished it last night,
Flickr is such a blessing for me as well as many others. This past month I've been playing catch-up and scanning old (pre-digital) photos into my Flickr account.

A Psalm for Gaia
The Earth is my mother, I shall not want.
She nurtures me in green pastures;
she freshens me with flowing waters.
She restores my body and awakens my soul.
Although I walk in the shadow
of changing seasons and passing time,
I will not fear death,
for the essence of life is within me,
the peace and beauty of Earth [...]
As I've mentioned before, I love to read blogs. In all honesty, I think it is satiating the need to read books, which I haven't been able to do since the baby was born. I loathe being interrupted and well, babies don't much give a damn about that.So as I was reading today, I was inspired by a couple of my fellow bloggers to count my blessings. First by Jaime, whose blog is primarily about her prem
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
By: Robert Robinson, 1758
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from [...]

My nephew was supposed to have surgery this morning. Imagine my surprise when the hubby and I passed my sister on our way to work and she was driving not towards the hospital but towards home!

My contribution to this edition of Blog Your Blessings Sunday is the blessings of prayers. I've read that prayers said by others on your behalf are much more powerful than the prayers you pray for yourself. And one of the reasons this may be true is because there isn't any subconscious self-sabotage happening when you pray for others.
I've been blessed BOTH ways: having the opportunity to pray

On today's BYB Sunday I'd like to post about the blessings of books in my life. Books have always been important to me since I was young. I've always had a hunger for knowledge, and books sated this ravenous hunger. I've amassed a large library of books through the years (oh yes, Amazon.com and me are good buddies!), and every year I weed through them and pass many along to others. Since I've been

from whom all worlds flow.

I remember you throughout my day.

I was on a radio show this morning with two other industry experts. The headlines aren't so hot right now and the conversation pretty quickly turned to bankruptcy, foreclosure, horrible credit card rates, predatory lenders, debt and the general idea that the financial services industry really wants to see consumers fail. It was pretty depressing.
