Wonder where to begin penning this down.
Which brings me back to the starting line,
how all these began in the first place

Right from the start,
it was crafted by Him.
Never would I imagine myself taking this step
especially with the indecisive nature of mine
But He led at the start
and without a doubt,
He has been so faithful and gracious

Having been through one semester
and seeing the results of it,
there's no way I can take the credit for it
because none of it would have been possible
if it was my own ability.
It was by His grace alone.

However,
the tendency to claim the credit is still there.
Silly to do so
and God forbid.


May it just be a piece of paper,
a status,
that means nothing more
than an avenue to shine for You

Not to strive for academic excellence,
but to see the prayer from the start come to pass
and to do my part in seeing it come to pass

You are in the business of souls
more than anything else.
Make that my heart's desire as well
and keep my eyes on You alone


Give credit where credit is due.
Thank You for everything.

As many say,
'Time flies'
and true enough,
possibly the longest holiday in 3 years come to an end today

It's been an interesting 6 weeks
Stayed at home for the main bulk of it,
not by choice
Someone asked if I felt that I've wasted my longest holiday
staying at home,
not being able to do much
Wasn't that sure of my answer then
But after spending the last few days
running around,
doing things,
just being busy...
There's no doubt of whether I've wasted those weeks

I felt the emptiness of busyness in a span of 3 days
And now I greatly appreciate the moments
of quietness and stillness
Just to spend unhurried time

And I'm thankful,
for not being given a chance to run around like usual
cause then I would have really wasted the holiday

Now that a new semester begins
Engine restarts,
timetable's packed
things going to get moving

One desire:
unhurried time with Him every day


"Be still and know that I am God" Psalms 46:10

Don’t look at God in the light of your giant;
look at your giant in the light of God

After a year and a half,
finally got it fixed.
It's been quite a wait
and thought I'll just pen down some thoughts

All of it started from a silly moment of mine
a really silly one
but we all have our silly moments don't we?
I guess I do regret it alittle
with all the trouble it has caused to myself and the people around
but I've seen how it has been a blessing in disguise as well

From the time in VJ,
it was used as a motivation to the team
it was used to mould me,
where it was less of myself, more of Him

Through all these times,
I'm learning how to be thankful for all the blessings
as I see how He has been in control through the years
Having been a gymnast and having my left leg as my balancing leg has made hopping around easier
All those training to the hands prevented me from suffering while using the crutches
To see how supportive family and friends have been

Little things like these which I overlooked
But I'm reminded,
Nothing happens by coincidence
Not once was He out of control
He's sovereign every moment
He's faithful through it all
He's good all the time

Count your blessings,
name them one by one.

Faith is a living,
bold trust in God's grace,
so certain of God's favor
that it would risk death a thousand times
trusting in it.
-Martin Luther

Even if you don't believe in yourself,
believe that all things are possible with God



I'm reminded once again
