Expiring at 30

Turning 30 and still can't find the godly and mature man you're looking for? God's will for us is not always the ideal we have in mind. Sometimes we need to let go and let God decide. It takes years for that level of maturity and godliness you are looking for. You don't always get that the day you get married but you have to pray them into it. It is a process. This was the advice given to me by a godly woman when I was nervous about the man I was about to marry. She pointed at her husband and said, "Do you think he was always this godly and mature from the beginning? No, but as a wife, we have to pray them into it." When I first prayed about a certain man that was interested in me, I took out my list: the 50 things I required, my criterion for my future spouse -- pray and fast weekly, does devotion, a good father, etc. God told me to take out my list, so I took it out. And then He said, "Now, start applying that to yourself, one by one."  I had such ...

When to fast?

Two types of fasting -- the regular one meal a week type. And the full blown one week to forty days type because we have to make a life-changing decision or because we have reach a certain point in life where there is no where else to go but on your knees or that time when you feel a certain need in your heart to draw closer to God.

Unavailable Grandparents

When we are kids, we expect so much on our parents. Now that we are older, we are much more understanding and mature. Make it up to them -- tell them how you appreciate their presence. A lot of old people don't think they're needed or wanted and have to be told that their presence is appreciated.  This cancel culture today too easily writes adult parents off. We don't write off our parents nor do we replace them. We make sacrifices, at their terms, not ours, if we sincerely want them around.

Not satisfied in a Lovely Church

Found a lovely church and made friends but something still doesn't sit right and you want more. Answer: It seems what you are looking for is not just about the right church but you have a desire to grow deeper in the Lord. This is good spiritual hunger. You are not looking for a social club but you are looking for more of Him.  What you need is intimacy with God. This is through your personal relationship with the Lord which can only be achieved how all relationships are built -- through conversation. There is no conversation without being able to hear the person we are talking to. Prayer is a two way communication. We must be able to hear His voice. So focus on hearing God's voice. When you read the Bible, start journalling and when you journal, talk to God as in first person. And sometimes, if you feel the urge, write down what He says to you in first person.

My Take on: KPOP Demon Hunters

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12

Does prayer really work in your life?

Yes. You have no idea. If it wasn't for prayer, I wouldn't be here. My mom saw me dead in her arms and prayed against it. About half an hour later, she dropped me off by the side of the road to go to school. I waited at the pedestrian crossing for the light to turn and when it did, I finally ran across. Little did I know that a car the street on the other side of the crossing assumed he would be able to speed across before anyone walked to his side of the road. He couldn't see me because of the hedges on the divider and I was short. So when I ran across, I ran into the car rather than the car running into me. And when he zoomed past, I continued running to school. My mom saw everything...
