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?

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.

“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”!

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.

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 :)

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.

Our organization YWAM Harbour City has been running a 6-month program called DTS (Discipleship Training School), even in the midst of the pandemic!

Anxiety can creep up on us even when we don’t notice it at all. It happens to me quite often. I’ll be emotionally doing well, I’ll be feeling calm, happy, and then suddenly, anxious thoughts can come into my mind.

A few friends have asked me how God can use careers, gifts, and talents – this has been my personal experience!

It’s taken me a while to update a new blog post, but today I just felt like writing about something. Honestly, the thought of staffing a DTS was a bit nerve-wrecking a couple of months ago. I know there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and it’s not an easy role. Dedicating your life to walk with DTS students for half year is a BIG commitment. It’s not a 9 to 6 job, it’s much more than that.

Crecí con una mezcla de tres culturas y en un rato les compartiré algunas anecdotas. Si eres un asiatico latino, puede ser que te relaciones con esto.

I’ve come to realize lately, the way I was “spending time” with Him had grown very superficial and rushed. It came to a point (literally a couple days ago) that I had to stop myself and reflect on what I was feeling about when I would spend time with Jesus. I needed to admit that I was in a dry season even though I’ve been serving full-time this whole year.

Sharing my life story - Family history, my first cross-cultural experience and passion for missions!

It’s been ONE whole year since I moved to Hong Kong and God has been teaching me incredible things in my time here. This special post is a bit longer than what I usually write! Thank you for taking time to read this blog post where I will share some testimonies, challenges, praise reports and prayer requests.

In this day and age, we really need all these types of friends in our lives. It’s so important to have community around us. Some might think, “I have my phone, my online friends, it’s enough for me” or “I really don’t trust anybody” or even “everyone is my friend!” – it’s essential to wisely seek for true friendships that will walk alongside us no matter what season we are in.

“When was the last pandemic?” The first thing I googled during the time COVID-19 was all over the news. Is it like a zombie apocalypse or what? Media already has a lot about the virus, but what has it taught me?

As I’m waiting for the 968 bus that takes me back to Yuen Long, the title of this blog post “A Forced Pause?” was the first thing on my mind. “Corona…” nah. Okay, it was the second thing on my mind. I still have around 12 minutes until the bus comes.

Can’t believe it has been 5 months since I moved to Hong Kong. It’s been a couple months of growth, facing challenges, transitioning, making Hong Kong my home. I’ll just show you my highlights of all these 5 months!

Sometimes it can be hard to wait. But waiting doesn’t mean you sit back and do nothing. Honestly, I’ve had days where I’ve just been at home resting. The time as I wait for the next transition is important, but it’s also important to be intentional in the present.

During this year, I’ve constantly battled with the thoughts of “I am not doing enough.” Seeing people around me walking through different season of life, whether it is marriage, kids, new job positions, it can definitely direct my thoughts towards comparison.
