Waiting...


How long, Lord, how long?
I know you're never late but I guess we see time differently
To you a thousand years and a day are the same because you're not bound by time
You live in eternity
So while I watch my clock and count seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months, years....
Waiting for you to show up
You whisper to my worried heart: "I'm right here with you"
Oh I ought to know that by now, we've been friends a long time now
And you're a true friend, one that sticks closer than a brother
But I forgot that so soon....
I got carried away waiting for the arrival of that special gift that I thought you left me
Oh how easy it is to focus on the gift that we miss out on the giver
Oh how easy it is to forget the many mountains you've brought me over
So while I'm in the waiting room,
Help me to see things through your eyes, Lord
Help me to see time through your eyes, Lord
Teach me the lessons you want me to learn
And most importantly, may I never lose sight of your presence
Your presence is everything I need, Yes you are all I need
So, be still my soul and know that God is still God
He never lost control of the wheel.

Maintaining Sexual Purity in a Sex-Crazed World: Breaking Sexual Soul Ties

Image
I started this sexual purity series 3 years ago and I just realized I never finished it 🤣. If you've read the previous posts in this series, you'll remember I mentioned that it was going to be a 3-part series, and today I'll be sharing part 3 😊 Yay! Finally! I was reminded about this series because of a post I made on my Instagram page exactly 6 years ago today. You can check out the post here: dara_mamora  and follow me in case you're not already👀.  Before we get into the topic for today, I'll like to reiterate that the concept of sexual purity isn't just limited to not having sex before marriage as sexual purity is first and foremost a thing of the mind/heart because sex doesn't just happen. Before the actual act, certain seeds were planted in the mind that facilitated the action. Seemingly innocent acts of listening to a kind of music, watching a certain movie/show, reading a type of book, hanging out with a friend/certain group of friends can lure us

Life's Complexity & God's Goodness

Image
Last week was a very tumultuous one to say the least. From losing a high school friend to dealing with conflict in a relationship to disappointment about a performance on a test. Like me, we've all had a fair share of dealing with life's struggles, which sometimes leaves us wondering, "why me?"or "why do bad stuff happen to good people?", questions we'll probably never know the full answers to till we get to ask God face to face. However, I remember last week in the midst of everything happening, God reminded me about the story of Job  (I've linked an interesting summary of the story for your reference), a righteous man who loved and honored God. In fact, God personally described him as "blameless- a man of complete integrity" (Job 1:8). Job was a man of such high-standing before God, the devil had to take permission from God to test him because the devil believed the reason why Job was faithful to God was because of his blessings; Job was

God, My Shepherd!

Psalm 23 is probably the most popular book of the bible, I'm sure even some non-christians know it by heart. Today, I was having a conversation with my mum that opened my eyes to interpret verse 1 of this psalm differently. The New Living Translation of verse 1 reads, "The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need". So as my mum and I were discussing, she says, "God is your shepherd so you lack nothing, if you ever think you lack something then you don't need it". Wow! Simple as these words were, they were still so profound because for the past few months, I've been burdened by fear, worry, and uncertainty as I've thought about my future. I'm nearing the end of my masters program so I've started job hunting and just in general planning for next steps, but because these past 5 years of my life have been so tumultuous in regards to my career progress, hitting one road block or the other due to my status as an international student, that feeli
