Saying NO

Saying NO is tough especially when I don't want to say no.
Especially when it's something I want.
Especially when it's just easier, better and more fun to say yes.
Especially when it's flattering.
Especially when it's making me feel important, valued and desired.

Saying NO is tough but I trust that it's what I should do.
Especially when I've been hurt and broken.
Especially when I've experienced forgiveness and redemption.
Especially when I've been saved by grace.
Especially when I've learned to love myself the way You love me.


I delight greatly in the Lord; 
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
(Isaiah 61:10 NIV)

Brokenness Aside

Will your grace run out

If I let you down

'Cause all I know

Is how to run

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

Will You call me child

When I tell you lies

'Cause all I know

Is how to cry

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

You make it beautiful

'Cause I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

I am a sinner

If it's not one thing it's another

Caught up in words

Tangled in lies, oh yeah

But You are a Savior

And You take brokenness aside

And make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

Beautiful

You make it beautiful

You make it beautiful

Give Me Faith

There would be songs that would strike a chord within you - songs that would hit home. This is one of those songs that caused me to drop on my knees, cry in desperation and sing in worship to our almighty Father.

It may not make sense why we would ask the Lord to break us apart, to break our hearts with what breaks His but it means total surrender of our lives and circumstances to our great creator. Trusting Him with abandonment creates peace and freedom that we will never experience in a life without Him.


Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you;
he will never leave you or forsake you.
(Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)

Give Me Faith

I need You to soften my heart,

To break me apart.

I need You to open my eyes,

To see that You're shaping my life.

All I am,

I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

I need You to soften my heart,

To break me apart.

I need You to pierce through the dark

And cleanse every part of me.

I surrender.

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.

I may be weak, but

Your Spirit's strong in me.

My flesh may fail, but

My God You never will. (repeat 2x)

Give me faith to trust what You say

That You're good, and Your love is great.

I'm broken inside, I give You my life.(repeat 2x)

I may be weak, but

Your Spirit's strong in me.

My flesh may fail, but

My God You never will.

5 Things To Do While You’re Single

At the Navy Pier of Chicago, Illinois

Since I was 15, I've always been in a relationship so being suddenly single after so long is a breath of fresh air - almost liberating! At the same time though, I felt lost and not knowing what to do. What should I focus on? How should I spend my time?

So here I am, blissfully single for 11 months, and I've come up with 5 Things to Do While I'm Still Single:

1. Reconnect with God and strengthen my faith.
2. Build and deepen relationships with family and friends.
3. Do the things I have always wanted to do: travel, try new sports, blog, read and dine.
4. Date myself. Get to know myself and fortify my identity.
5. Enjoy making others happy :)

10 Things To Remember When Everything Seems To Be Going Wrong

I used to worry a lot. Worrying was my habit. It makes me secured when I worry because I was foreseeing hitches and problems and preparing by having plans A, B and C. I was heavily relying on my own brain capacity and strength - this was stressful and frustrating.

Now I am recognizing that God is sovereign and he cares for me. He is faithful to His promises so I no longer need to stress out and be worried about anything.   

The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
(Psalm 27:1 NIV)
