There’s one story I’ve been rewriting every year for a decade now. It’s a story where the facts don’t change, circumstances and characters remain the same, but the grand narrative takes on a different perspective every time. It’s the story of my life, and I invite you to begin yours too. Why invest all that time toContinue reading “The One Story to Rewrite Every Year”

God Moments in the Novena
To Jesus through Mary: An encounter of finding God moments and seeing present day miracles through the testimonies at Novena
An insured life
I was pregnant with my first child when I was 25 years old. My husband was 24 years old. We were living in a rented place, sharing a flat with another 4 friends. The first thing we decided to do after we found out that we were pregnant was to buy two life insurance policies (Continue reading “An insured life”
I Dos and I Dids: A Better Response to Marriage Matters
Married life is anything but a breeze. Most days, it isn’t the “happily ever after” lived out but a negotiation between love felt, love shared and love expressed… or not at all on some days. Maybe this is why Marriage is a vocation and a sacrament, a daily exercise of choice to realize God. HereContinue reading “I Dos and I Dids: A Better Response to Marriage Matters”
10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Landings

Today I was privileged to receive a special blessing from Monsignor Phillip Heng at the Commissioning Mass at the Cathedral of The Good Shepherd. We start our Landings Run in April and we want to welcome backContinue reading “Conforming Our Lives to Jesus”

My Journey To The Christmas Barn
What Advent means to me? Adjusting to changes has never been my forte and this year seems to be filled with many. I had struggled to say many “goodbyes” to what I once knew, and to have a number of skirmishes with friends close to my heart, so much so that I felt uprooted andContinue reading “My Journey To The Christmas Barn”
New Traditions, New Joy
What does Advent mean to me? Being a not-so-new Catholic meant I never had the same Christmas experience as cradle Catholic friends had. No big family traditions, no attending mass together as a family, it was generally low key and I would always attend mass alone. It wasn’t ideal but I learned to deal withContinue reading “New Traditions, New Joy”
Advent Teaches Us the Virtue of Patience
These rainbows to me mirror the Advent themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. The themes nicely sum up to me what Christ’s coming is all about; it gives me great comfort, and is what I can hold on to as pillars in my life.
