Life lately

Starting a blog entry can be a daunting task, especially when you’re unsure of how to begin. But I believe that sharing our experiences can be a powerful way to connect with others and gain new insights. As I reflect on the past year, I know that many people would consider 2020 to be the worst year ever. However, I refuse to view it that way. I believe that every hardship and challenge we face is an opportunity for growth and learning. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t struggled. There have been times when I’ve felt overwhelmed, scared, and uncertain. But through it all, I’ve learned to trust in a higher power and surrender my worries to Him. This has been my ultimate source of strength and comfort. I’ve also had to deal with people who seem determined to bring me down. It’s easy to get angry and lash out in those situations, but I’ve found that responding with love and forgiveness is a more powerful way to diffuse the situation. Ultimately, I believe that we have the power to choose how we respond to the challenges we face. And with faith and love, we can overcome even the most difficult of circumstances.

Things can only get better

I just want to share my favorite verse in the hope that it will calm you through these difficult times. Know that if you feel anxious, worried, fearful and troubled, God is waiting for you to call on His name and pray. Please be safe and rejoice always!

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:2-8

Also, I have been listening to this song. I like how it gives you the insight to live your life today, not waiting for tomorrow to do the things you can do while waiting. We can never tell what the future holds, but we can still choose to enjoy our lives in the midst of uncertainty. Just remember that whatever you do, do it all in the glory of God.

Elephant Mountain (Xiangshan) – Taipei, Taiwan

“Hurray, success!” Those are the words that I uttered after the successful five hundred steps trekking at the Elephant Mountain, Taipei. It was worth it.

I couldn’t contain my excitement, and I was a little nervous about climbing the five hundred steps of Elephant Mountain. It was one of the many activities we’ll be doing that I look forward to in Taiwan. When I am too excited, I sometimes forget my limits thus, I pray to God first when unsure of anything other than trusting myself. It gives me hope and strength to climb mountains and face challenges with confidence. 😇
