Dare to put it out there!

YOUNG WOMAN + SINGLE + TEACHER
+
ABOVE ALL
CHILD OF GOD


“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you”—Matt 6:33

It took me so long to decide if I should start a blog – the musings and ponderings of a young woman. The thought that my opinions would go out into the unknown world and cannot be taken back—was scary. I don’t think I would ever be ready for the world to not just hear my words but also criticise my views. I also had to answer some hard questions….. “do my thoughts matter?”, “what if people give me negative feedback?” or “what if my writing isn’t that good?”. It was then that I stopped and thought about how I reacted to everything I just said. How it all brought out so many of my fears. It wasn’t that I had nothing to say…..I was insecure and fearful. Like most great things in my life, it always starts with battling my fears first. And believe me….I have had many battles! But (haha!) one thing someone once said, “don’t be fooled by her look, this girl is a bulldog. She is stubborn for Christ”. Those words have stuck with me…..I am stubborn for Christ! I know He will inspire me to write and is my greatest Teacher. 

I was created for a unique purpose.....one that I am accountable for. Each role I have been given is a gift from God. Positioned in this very place (not just Kuala Lumpur….as buzz lightyear put it, “infinity and beyond” aka. no limit to where I can go or what I could do through Christ) with my sphere of influence.....no one can take my place. The greatest gift of all…….knowing God. The more I know Him, the more I love Him and love who He has created me to be. He chose me for such a time as this. I am not just chosen, I am uniquely chosen…..like a David or Daniel of my generation. Pretty bold words, I know. But I also know, to get there….I will need to rely on God and be obedient to His voice.  Note to all, I was never this excited about this....I may sound a tad bit intense here haha. 

Stay with me on this blog---we’ll discover God together through the power of the Word and Holy Spirit—through the life of a chirpy (not in an annoying way), fun-loving young woman. I’ll be real, candid. You may cry, laugh, sympathize, relate and feel many things…..just remember, the ultimate goal…..to encourage you on your walk with Christ or cause you to want to know Him. Experience His freedom……it never gets boring. Let Him in...you'll never regret it ;). 

Be blessed xoxo
