Weekend Reflections: Paid In Full
What comes to your mind whenever Holy Week comes around? I am guessing that most of you think of it as a time for remembering the Lord Jesus Christ’s suffering and death — a time for deep, solemn reflection. Although this is the right thing to be doing during this time of year, and certainly there’s nothing wrong with thinking of it this way, I would much rather focus on the underlying point (the most important point, in my opinion) of all that Christ went through for us...
Read MoreNot A Resolution But A Restoration
Welcome 2013 and welcome, Dear Readers, to my very first blog post for the year! As it has usually been the case at the start of every new year, people talk about their New Year’s Resolutions. Some of the resolutions we’re most likely to hear would be “to eat healthier”, “to start losing weight”, “to get more serious about exercising”, “to quit smoking”, “to become a better [wife/mother/boss/employee]“, the list goes...
Read MoreWeekend Reflections: Remembering My Kyle
Today is my firstborn’s birthday… my son, Kyle. I have nothing else to say except that this is the fifth birthday he’s had apart from us, his family… without me by his side to kiss him, to embrace him, to watch him blow his candles, watch him make his wish, take pictures, make memories… It’s been years but the pain is just as intense as the day he left. I still find it very difficult to talk about him. For those of you who have no idea what the heck...
Read MoreRavens In The Wilderness: How I Overcame Depression
Today I came across a blog post entitled “I’ve Made My Decision” from the creator of bipolarblogging.wordpress.com.

My depression isn’t getting any better in spite of all the things I’ve been trying to do and all the changes in medications. It’s been almost...
Read MoreWeekend Reflections: God Of The Impossible
DIABETES IS REVERSIBLE The subject of diabetes is very personal to me since my husband is himself a Type 2 Diabetes patient. One doctor once discouraged us by saying that there is no truth to the “rumor” that diabetes is reversible. She said it was IMPOSSIBLE and even went on to say that my husband has no other choice but to keep taking his medications for the rest of his life. What a sure way to kill one’s spirit, wasn’t it? Well, I’m sorry, but I’ve...
Read MoreWeekend Reflections: Just Enough Strength To Make It Through
I was thirteen years old when I first learned to sing the song Only You by Kelly Willard. Back then, I didn’t fully understand what the words meant. Two decades later, it was the same song that God has placed in my heart to sing for Him again. As my family faced one of the toughest challenges thrown our way, I found myself singing every word to Him in tears. On September 24th, Big Daddy had another heart attack. It was a very hard time for the Upshaws. For three consecutive days...
