Dear Mom, A few things I remember growing up, mostly the times I used to come to your office after school to go home together. When we stopped by the church every single night after work on the way home.  Watching you pray, not fully understanding why we need to be there. The exhaustion, theContinue reading “An Open Letter to You on Mother’s Day…”

Recently I was assigned to review and approve claims for our senior patients. My first reaction was panic! I saw how many of these dated back to the summer of 2022.  At a glance, I saw it was 300 and each service date is only given 5 days to review. The feeling of being overwhelmedContinue reading ““WOW” Moments”

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could choose the people we work with? or work with people we enjoy being around?  Most probably we could have more fun accomplishing a lot of tasks if the team you collaborate with shares a similar interest with us. I once worked with a group of chaotic people, weContinue reading “Unified In Spirit”

Who Are We Becoming? One of my Sunday practices before my day gets caught up in the busyness of schedules is watching this one Sunday service online that I have been following for over six years. The only caveat is getting up so early to catch it live because they are opposite from my timeContinue reading “Becoming”

“Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Colossians 3:13-14 Why do we struggle when this word pops up in our minds? …our hearts harden on theContinue reading “Forgiveness…”

It is whenContinue reading “Sentiments …”

People often say, “It is the journey that is important.” How do you know if the road to your journey is where you should be? When you are amid struggle and challenges and life seems discouraging; when people around don’t seem to recognize your existence, you can’t seem to reach the goal you have setContinue reading “What’s Next?”

In one of R.C. Sproul’s Expositional Commentary in the Book of John, he wrote “betrayal is one of the most devastating experiences any human being can endure. The prevalence of betrayal is understandable in light of the prevalence of sin.” He was referring to Peter’s denial of Jesus in John 18:15-27 I couldn’t help butContinue reading “Betrayal and Sorrow”

Are you like me who likes creating lists and relying on a list to accomplish daily tasks? Lists of any kind (notes, post-its, calendars, memos) can be helpful in our daily lives; to-do lists for home, to-do lists for work, grocery lists, travel lists, lists of birthdays, anniversaries, and so forth – these are allContinue reading “Perpetual List”

I came across a very interesting article “Your Intimate Relationship with Food.” It explains the intimate connection between what we eat and how we feel. Wow! Quite insightful – it connects the nutritional components in food to power not only our body but also our mental state. We often focus on maintaining the balance ofContinue reading “Food for the Soul”
