For the coming new year, I figure, reading this verse for this turn of another year. I’m reflective, living now, and hopeful.

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the absence of self.”
– When I think about courage, I realize how much it is not so much about fear, and overcoming it, but rather how much it is about our selves, and over coming ourselves. Medal of Honor recipients, seem to carry on that selflessness even when they are presented the award. In all honesty, in those...

WatchWow1 talk about passion. Conan O’Brian’s documentry from the time he left the Tonight Show to where he is now on TBS. He truly loves performing, and being creative.
Christian plug here: I read that there’s a part of the documentary where Conan greets a group of customers in the gas station, and two of them offers to pray for his success. Interesting.

WatchWow, so epic. Carson, Piper and Keller in the same interview. Men in their 60s, and still having a great influence on this generation of believers, discuss getting old, and what’s to happen with all their respective actives and ministries.

phileena:
Several years ago I embarked on the Christian contemplative path and have never been the same. Through the practice of centering prayer, I have learned how to live the Gospel of surrender and liberation, letting God do for me what I can’t do for myself. I’ve experienced profound healing and…

Steak Night!
So I haven’t posted for a while, but I thought it’d be suitable to share about this latest food creations of my kitchen.
So after an afternoon of trail running, apartment hunting, me and The JAB, decided to go to Whole Foods to get some fruit (a pricey place - I know). While there, I caught in the corner of my eye the NY strip steak for sale, and immediately the craving set in.

What Does it Mean to Follow Jesus →
We must ask ourselves this question every day. What does it really mean to follow Jesus? It maybe just be radical obedience!

Falling apart for the good →
Human beings can not relate to perfection, they relate to imperfection. We connect through pain not perfection. Compassion can be expressed when there is pain that is felt.

Grief. Calling. Love. Death.
Lately, I’ve been having a few conversation with friends and acquaintances. It seems as though my generation of folks 20’s somethings - I’ll lump 30’s in this too cus’ I’m drawing closer to 30 - are going through this phase of grieving. Grieving over what?
Purpose, calling, big questions like: what am I suppose to be doing? where am I suppose to be going? is it...

He has Risen!
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”John 20:13
Mary Magadalene, was a woman who had been with Jesus. She was delivered by Jesus, from demonic bondage. She had great love her Lord, whom she had just witness being beaten brutally and crucified on the cross. And now, she stares at an empty tomb. Has someone stolen her Lord’s body? In this deep sorrow, and sense of loss, Jesus comes to...

Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of holy week. Its the Sunday before Easter - the resurrection of Christ. This is the day representative of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Read about it in Matt 21:1-11 and Luke 19:28-44.
It’s interesting to see the different types of people there welcoming Jesus into Jeruselem. You had people in utter worship and praise...

Lent - Day 38
Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
Jesus, let me grow like the plant of a mustard seed, so that I can...

WatchWhen I watched this video, I was deeply moved to tears and utter worship and prayer. I was inspired how my fellow believers took a tragic accident and continued to worship and pray, and to serve others; to continue shine their light in the midst of tragedy and pain. This is what I believe the church should be.
God is doing something in the hearts of the Japanese. He is ever active and ever...

Lent - Day 37
It’s the 37th day of Lent. By Sunday, lent will be 40 days through. Little did I realize that lent doesn’t count the Sundays; they’re meant for ‘mini-easter’ Sundays. None the less 40 days devotion or 46 days of devotion, it’s all lenting.
Today, I prayed for keeping this passion, this fire burning inside of me; to not let it be distinguished by distractions...

Lent - Day 36
