Are you a microscope or a telescope?

By on September 25, 2010 in Musings

We’re All Designed to Magnify Something Seeing God can be compared to how we see stars. Stars, as we all know, are huge big ball of burning gas in that big void of space we call the universe. May I reiterate? They may appear tiny to your eyes, but they’re really big. The average male [...]

A Sacred Moment with Paper Napkin and the Holy Spirit

By on September 21, 2010 in Musings

My times of solitude and most significant spiritual moments with the Holy Spirit have often been kindly hosted at Starbucks or various other coffee shops. I’m a horrible singer, which is why I’m thankful that singing isn’t the only way to worship God. In fact, everything we do should really be in worship to Him… [...]

The Dockers Manifesto Secular and Marketed Manhood I came by this ad campaign from Dockers, a Khaki Pants Company started by Levi & Strausse. I somewhat marveled at this ad. Yes it’s an ad campaign which the aim  is to cause discussion and stir. Nonetheless I was surprised that it had such an awareness on [...]

A Despondent Season: my confession of a burn out

By on September 20, 2010 in Musings

I find it hard to believe, admit or confess myself as being burnt out. I feel ashamed, pathetic and non-comparable to those who are truly burnt out in ministry or have more reason to be. I don’t feel I have a real reason to defend the overwhelming sense of despondency in my behavior. I refuse [...]

Burn Out: I’ve hit it hard and fast

By on September 11, 2010 in Jesus' call on my life, Jesus' work through me, Musings

Burnt out I am reminded about mountain biking, if you go too hard and too fast, if you lose control you will hit it hard and fast. Same goes for any vehicle for that matter… I’m not sure when things have changed, or when things started going stale… I anticipated that a burn out will [...]

My New Ride-That-I-Can’t-Ride

By on September 8, 2010 in Jesus' work through me, Lifestream

So… Yesterday I went Downtown with my bessies and bought my first car! Milestone! It’s under my cousin’s name, and I can’t really drive it without supervision, but I’m stoked!

Bitterness: The Blackhole of all my Joy

By on September 7, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

A couple of nights ago I had a dream. In my dream, my friend had a crop of potatoes that were blighted by these little ticks that somehow burrowed themselves in to the crop. She still wanted to make money from the crop, so she halved the potatoes and removed the visible ticks. Wanting to [...]

So… I might be buying my first car

By on September 6, 2010 in Jesus' work through me, Lifestream

So I guess I’m arriving in to a new milestone in my life where I feel the burden to actually own a vehicle and be able to drive it… God willing, this week, I might be purchasing a better than tinbox on wheels, just to get me from A to B. In my stubbornness, I [...]

Cheers to three years! Hope for more in year four!

By on September 1, 2010 in Jesus' work in me

Today marks my third year knowing and walking with God and marks the forth year that I am about to enter in to. It’s been a fun year, full of tears, full of growth and answered prayer. It pretty much closely marks a full year being in Canada and a full year being involved with [...]
