This year has been a year of harvest. I love those times when God’s promises ripen and we get to taste the fruit of His faithfulness, our eyes opened to see His perfect plans worked out. This year has been filled with such fruits. While some ripened throughout the year, others had been ripening for … More Harvest.
Sometimes God has to catch my attention. I am running towards His kingdom – that “one thing”, that one hope, that one great desire found in the beauty of His face.

My sister and I just returned from a sister holiday in Japan. During our ten days away, we saw and experienced many things – all kinds of animals, a variety of celebrations, food and best of all, a real sense of the country’s culture.
