Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Why Won’t God Do It In One Day?

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts

While reading Exodus 23 with the kids this morning, this passage became suddenly alive before me. “I will not drive them out from before you in one year…” It reminded me of how God works. There are times that we keep on asking God why it can’t ALL be done now, why things can’t be… Read More

Test as You Build

by Gilian, in category Reflections, Thoughts

Every morning, my family watches an episode of this Netflix series called BAKING IMPOSSIBLE where a baker is teamed up with an engineer.

The Tree VS The Rock

by Gilian, in category Thoughts

8-yr old son: God should have used a tree. You can get water from a tree. Me: That’s why he used a rock. Getting water from a tree is too easy, any man can do that, but getting water from a rock? Now that’s something supernatural. Something extraordinary. So, when you think things are already… Read More

Strengthen Yourself

by Gilian, in category Journal, Reflections, Words

And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:7-8 There are days when we wait upon the Lord to get our strengths renewed. Sometimes, we keep… Read More

Do I have the Spirit of Poverty?

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts, Words

One day, I was at a birthday party. The table was flooded with food and drinks. Then I’ve noticed this teenager who would get some food, go back again with a new plate and get more food. Then he would start eating. Later when the party ended, I heard him boasting about how he has… Read More

Follow the Teacher

by Gilian, in category Journal, Reflections, Words

My four year-old started enjoying the How To Draw videos of Art for Kids Hub. In each video, a kid is with an adult and the adult shows how to draw step by step and the kid follows everything that the adult says. While watching one of the videos this afternoon, I noticed that he… Read More

Eyes On You

by Gilian, in category Journal, Thoughts, Words

“But our eyes are on you.” Such a powerful line. There are times when we reach that place of not knowing what to do just like King Jehoshaphat in the book of 2 Chronicles. Whenever we don’t know how else to face our problems, remember how Jeshoshaphat showed his faith in God by showing HUMILITY-… Read More

5 Reasons Why You Should Not Be Afraid of the Book of Revelation

by Gilian, in category Journal, Reflections, Words

I did not understand everything at first, but it was not as bad as people said it would. I think it is because these people have focused on the judgement (for the wicked) part in the first few chapters that they have not cherished the last part—my favorite!
