God speaks in various ways and at various times. Always, when I am seeking Him (yes, even when He is silent, He is “speaking” to me) but also when I am not. And today, He spoke while I was spacing out in the shower after a very long 5-day stretch of waking up at 6am and […] Read more…

Keeping our perspectives right
As we approach the start of the written papers for PSLE* (oral exams started in August), I can feel the rise of tension, especially this time round as I got to know more mothers whose children are also taking PSLE with our 3rd child. The previous two times I was rather oblivious to the tension as only […] Read more…
The urgency of the times
So the first of the Blood Moons* have come and gone and everyone is waiting with abated breath to see whether the something major that is going to happen is really going to happen from now till 28th September 2015 😛 Whether you believe that the Blood Moons are a sign of Jesus coming for […] Read more…
A little off
At a recent conference Henson and I attended recently, one of the speakers was described as being a little off because he was totally sold out for Jesus and His chosen people, the Jews. He was first led to leave his pastorate and eventually to participate in a growing global movement to bring the Jews […] Read more…
Grateful. Humbled.
On 11th March 2014, we celebrated 19 years of married life. And today, 12th March 2014, our “baby”, the 7th child, turns 5. For both events, I am truly grateful to our Lord. I do not take for granted our marriage and neither do I take for granted having our 7 living children. Influenced by […] Read more…
Homeschooling will not save your child
What I am about to say may offend those who are super pro-homeschooling 🙂 So I will say upfront that I am not militant about homeschooling. It has many benefits. But like anything in life, it has its pros and cons. And therefore, whether one homeschools or not is a choice every family has to […] Read more…
New Year, New Beginnings
No, there are no New Year Resolution posts this time. But with the new year, there are new adventures. And as the saying goes, “Change is the only constant in life”. Some of you may have already known or heard that my dear husband has stepped down as deputy senior pastor of Covenant Vision Christian […] Read more…
A love-hate relationship with the internet
In the past month, I came across 2 stories about children, porn and the internet that have made me wish that we could go back to the time when the internet wasn’t so easily available. Story #1 : an article circulating on Facebook about a 13 year old boy who has been listed on a Sex […] Read more…
Moving away from the “dr says” mindset
Over the years, I have slowly moved our family away from mainstream health treatments, realising that a lot of times the doctors we see are treating the symptoms and not the root cause. This does not mean we don’t ever see a doctor and we don’t take any medication. We do. Really. Just that we […] Read more…
The Greatest Weapon in Christian Parenting
What do you do when you are having a difficult time with your child? Do you seek God first about what to do? Or do you go running to your friends and asking them for advice? Or perhaps quickly post about the issue in parenting forums seeking collective wisdom? Ahhh! There are many times I have […] Read more…
