Hi friend! I’m going to try a new thing for this month. I want to do a Bible series every Wednesday for the month February. I am very very excited about this. If you’re not a Bible-lover like me, I hope you will still stick around and be open to be encouraged by it. A […]
Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” I used to think Heaven would be boring. When I read the Bible, it says we would worship God forever. My 14-year old self was not excited about that. (haha!) Well, […]
Ready? Here we go. On the 4th of November, 2019, I finally launched my online course on Plant-based lifestyle I call “HOW 2BPB” (which simply means “How to be Plantbased”) Yes, me! I launched a course online! What? I think I am the most surprised of us all. If you asked me 5 months ago […]
Hey there! If you’ve been a reader of my blog for years and years, thank you for sticking with me. If you’re new, welcome! My blog has changed so much throughout the years. I started in 2011, writing and reviewing books until 2014. In 2015, I moved to Sydney, Australia and mostly wrote about my […]
Relationship Reconciliation Advice #1 Firstly, I’ve decided to write this article/post not because I’m an expert when it comes to these type of things. I’m only 27 years old, not old enough to be a grandparent yet… because you know, our grandparents know a lot and have experienced a lot in life to be considered […]
Learning a new language is not easy. At all. I don’t know what I was thinking three months ago when I decided it is a good idea to learn a dead language. Yes, I’m learning a dead language. Koine greek. My precise reason was ‘to learn to translate the New Testament of the Bible’, by […]
The following are my thoughts from a month ago… July 15, 2017. I’ve been so sick this week (physically) and lonely (emotionally) and am overcome by this utter sense of unfinished unsettling feeling… I couldn’t pinpoint what is it. Have you ever experienced this? It’s like being hit by an arrow but you don’t […]
Hello guys! . So, I have to be honest. I haven’t been in the book world for a loooong long time. I mean, I do try to keep up every now through youtube, and through following my fave authors on social media. But that’s it. Better than nothing right? . ANYWAY… this post is about […]
What did I think of this book? I think this is the most emotional, honest and heartbreaking book Colleen Hoover has ever written yet. There’s too much emotion I could feel at the same time: fear, elation, hope, expectancy, sadness, empathy… that I did not even cry a single tear. And I always […]

Dating apps has been a subject of talk around my peers in the past months (when you’re in your 20’s/30’s amIright?! Lol), then I realized something… A friend was sharing of a friend who’s been dating a lot for the past three or so years through dating apps, and she still hasn’t found anyone to […]
There was a shift in me when I truly and finally realized that my life will never ever be stable, from the world’s perspective anyway. And I cry as I write this, it’s beautiful. When I said YES to my Jesus, it wasn’t a YES to a stable perfect human life, where everything is sunshine […]
So many people are shifting in to the Vegan lifestyle nowadays. From 0.4% in 2015, it has then spiked to 6%, that’s 600% increase! (Global Data) Despite that amazing growth, many people are still hesitant to take the plunge or try Veganism. Why? Well, let’s look at 5 common myths about the Vegan lifestyle, specifically […]

On Monday, the 4th of November, 2019, I launched my Plant-based lifestyle online course I call “HOW 2B PB”, which simply means, “How to be Plant-based”. Why this online course? As a Jesus-loving human being, I firmly believe God called us to love Him and one another, be in a relationship with Him and to […]
Watching the “Good Place” tv series made realize how hard it is to be a good person these days. At one point in Season 2(?), they mentioned the point system they followed to determine if you go to the Good place or the Bad place. One hundred years ago, it was probably easier to do […]
Last Wednesday, I shared an “Unforced rhythm of Grace” post. It didn’t quite cover everything, so here’s part 2 of that post. Have you ever prepared for something and it never happens? (ha!) I remember growing up, my Dad would always prank us by telling us to get ready to go to the mall. […]

Romans 8:37 (NIV) “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Back in the glory days of Rome, a “Roman triumph” was a parade of celebration by the victorious military commander.

Holy, Holy, Holy…

Isaiah 6:3
And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
I used to think Heaven would be boring. When I read the Bible, it says we would worship God forever. My 14-year old self was not excited about that. (haha!)
Well, I’ve never been to heaven, for starters. But I’ve tasted Heaven and it’s not boring at all.
The more I get to know God, the more in awe of Him I am. It was not until the past year that God allowed me and brought me to a place of understanding how worshipping Him forever will not be boring at all.
Now I understand why God described Himself as “I AM”. And we say “HE IS”. And we also say bits like “BECAUSE GOD. (PERIOD)”. Because HE just IS. He is Uncreated, He is the OG, He is.
A lot of times our opinions are based on our perspectives. The more limited and narrow it is, the more limited and narrow our perspective in life is. My view and understanding of heaven and worshipping God were limited to my 14-year old mindset. Now having experienced what I’ve experienced in my 28 years, and God showing more of Him to me in the recent years have painted my ecstatic excitement for what is to come.
I have come to a place in my relationship with God that whenever I think of Him, and start talking about Jesus, I cry. If you don’t see me crying on the outside, believe me, I am crying on the inside. Why? Because He is so amazing and wonderful and so good and as I write this believe me I am crying. Again, our perspective of God is shaped of our understanding and belief and trust in Him. If you believe Him to be good, then you believe He will never let you down, vice versa.
Let me end this little bit of thought with this last thought. It is my hope and prayer that you won’t let what you have or you don’t have hinder you from getting to know the Creator King.

“The minute you willingly lowered yourself for someone else, they would never, ever look at you the same way.” I read that line from a novel I was reading. It was not a life-changing type of book, it was a passing time kind of romance novel. Yet, however, my God still speaks to me through […]
One of the unhealthiest things in our faith is when you process your thoughts and doubts about God publicly. I think there is something valuable in speaking our thoughts with people we trust who can listen to us without judgment. And allow them to speak over us with love and truth. Grace and truth. Grace […]

Lies. “An arrow of venom pierced my heart. This is why humans invented lies, I thought. No other animal in nature lies. The truth is ruthless. It cuts you open, shoving your face into the mud. It forces you to look reality in the eye and deal with it. To feel the real weight of […]
Why must we romanticize everything we experience? I know that is not accurate for every person in the world. We are after all, made of different seeds and hues. I am talking of myself. Perhaps, without the risk of sounding immature, when we are kind, hopeful, and positive in aspects that matter, we do have […]
Beginning of last year (2018), I was compelled to challenge myself to a ‘Less is More’ mission. One year is done, I made it you guys! I moved to a new flat, have my own bedroom (hallelujah! as it’s impossible to pay for something cheap when you live in Sydney). Apart from buying a […]

If you asked me 4 years ago if I can imagine myself having a close relationship with my mom again, I would have sternly answered you a “NO, not really.” (long story behind this) But GOD is a GOD of miracles and restoration. He truly makes impossible things possible. Not even a year later, we […]
…………………Hey guys! It’s Jenna here again! I woke up this morning just feeling so grateful to God about where I am today. For those of you who don’t know, (well, I’m not entirely sure if I’ve shared this part of my life on my blog) my Dad passed away 5 years ago, and after […]
God has this elusive way of making you like someone you don’t really like. It’s amazing how He does it with me. Okay so you won’t get confused with how random that thought just came right at you, let me give you a bit of a background about me. I am the kind […]
