Reflection on the Book of Jeremiah
As “modern day prophets”, can we paint this picture of what life with God and life in the new kingdom looks like? How do we embody that and participate now? What does obedience and success in your life look like right now?
As singles, why do we long to be married?
I wasn’t expecting my first blog post of the year to be about this but while reflecting on 1 Corinthians 7, I was asking myself this question. Why do we long to be married?
Hope for Cambodia
Learning about the Past: During my time in Cambodia, I took a journal with me to write down things that I considered important to know, places I visited, and people I met.
Even when community gets messy, we need each other
I learned that being open and vulnerable is not easy, but it’s the way God has created us and we need each other’s support in our highs and lows. We need community, no matter how messy it may look, there is beauty and grace in a God-centered community.
Collection of Khmer Food
Khmer food has a mixture of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy! I’ve enjoyed the many different flavors. Here are some dishes I’ve tried so far!
School of Worship: Khmer Worship
Two of my favorite worship songs that we learned during our time at UofN Battambang! The pronunciation was written by some of our students and it was so helpful to have during worship times and community events.
Super Adventurous Trip to Phnom Penh
One of our team members from School of Worship needed to go to the embassy in the capital of Cambodia, so both of us ended up traveling to Phnom Penh during a school week. With no knowledge of Phnom Penh (except the first night I arrived from the airport in June), I started to research and get information of how to get there, and what kinds of things we needed to do.
Film Photography: Shui Tau Tsuen
A few of my favorite film shots from Shui Tau Tsuen, Hong Kong.
School of Worship: Intimacy with God
It can be hard to understand what a program called SOW “School of Worship” actually means! But it’s okay, I can share a few insights as a student and now serving as a staff this year.
Learning my way around Battambang
It’s been 2 weeks in since I got here to Battambang and after a few years without traveling, it’s been amazing to learn how to do life here.
A Few of My Favorite Jams
A love working to nice background music. Especially when designing and my creative brain is inspired by these jams! (You can also get to know me a little more by my taste of music) ;D
A Familiar Place: Cheung Chau Pizza
Another live blog post! Jackie and I went to this new pizza place in Cheung Chau (they have only been open for 2 weeks now!) and we met the couple who run the place. A really awesome surprise — they are from Argentina!
A visit to Heima Heima in Cheung Chau
Writing up a live blog post! (It means we are at the location, sharing about our experience!) My sister Jackie and I are in Cheung Chau right now talking a few days off. A friend recommended me to visit Heima Heima, and it’s a long walk from the popular areas, but it has been worth it to visit this cafe!
Cross-Cultural Missions in Hong Kong
“Why are you serving in Hong Kong? You should go serve somewhere else!” I come across this question a lot! I thought of writing down the “why”!
Sometimes they just need someone to listen
A few testimonies from the last months of semi-lockdown in Hong Kong. Serving at garbage collection points, visiting the elderly, and meeting people on the minibus.
A Typical Day Serving at YWAM Harbour City
“What do you do in Hong Kong? Do you work for a church? Do you earn a salary? Hmmm, the best way I can answer these questions is like this: I work for an international missions organization called “Youth With A Mission”. For short, we call it “YWAM” (pronounced “WHY-wham”).
2022: Growing in Faith
Yeah, COVID isn’t going away any time soon. Reading the news and seeing titles like “COVID will be called an endemic” kind of gave me a sense of relief but at the same time, calling it something different is not actually making it any better.
Just For Fun - Questions for a TCK like Me
I recently posted a short comic strip on my social media sharing some snippets of my life as a “Third Culture Kid”. Out of this time of sharing these silly stories and experiences living abroad and not knowing exactly how to respond the question of “where are you from”, drew me to ask myself some more questions! I hope you enjoy this blog post about being a TCK :)
Dealing with Disappointment
I tend to write happy, interesting, or new things that I've been learning, but somehow, I felt to write about how I've dealt with disappointments. This blog post won't be too long, but I just wanted to process and express how I feel when I get disappointed.
Street Photography Adventures
It was a sunny Thursday afternoon, right after lunch, a group of friends and I walked around Mongkok. We were spontaneously walking down Nathan Road all the way to Tsim Sha Tsui. We weren’t sure of where we would end up with but had a lot of fun along the way as we encountered different areas and people on the streets.
