Lunar New Year has always felt like more than fireworks and red envelopes to me. It’s about renewal. Crossing over. Leaving behind what shaped you and stepping into what’s next — even when you’re not completely sure what “next” looks like yet. This year, something unexpected happened. On a random Sunday afternoon, in the middleContinue reading “From Mount Sinai to the Promised Land: A Lunar New Year Reunion”

Ending the Work Week in the Promised Land — and Feeling Weary
It’s the end of the work week in what I’ve been calling my “Promised Land” season. On paper, this is where I prayed to be. This is the answered place. The crossed-over territory. The new chapter. And yet… there’s a quiet weariness. Not regret. Not disappointment. Just a deep, subtle tiredness that seems to haveContinue reading “Ending the Work Week in the Promised Land — and Feeling Weary”
Dreaming of a Holiday — and Trusting God for More
Not in a restless, escapist way. Just that gentle longing for fresh air, new scenery, unfamiliar streets, and the kind of rest that feels earned. Sometimes it’s a beach. Sometimes it’s a quiet city with cafés tucked into corners. Sometimes it’s just the feeling of stepping away. And in the middle of those thoughts, EphesiansContinue reading “Dreaming of a Holiday — and Trusting God for More”
This Season Isn’t About My Plan — It’s About His
There’s a subtle shift happening in me this season. After organizing my desk, setting intentions, and stepping into a new month with fresh energy, I felt motivated. Ready. Productive. And while all of that is good, I’ve also sensed a deeper reminder underneath it all: This isn’t ultimately about my plans. It’s about God’s. WhenContinue reading “This Season Isn’t About My Plan — It’s About His”
When the Past Knocks Again: Trusting God’s “Immeasurably More”
“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.” — Ephesians 3:20 There are moments in life when something small shakes us more than it should. An unexpected message. An invitation. A door we thought we closed quietlyContinue reading “When the Past Knocks Again: Trusting God’s “Immeasurably More””
When Ephesians 3:20 Feels Like a Nudge Toward a New Business
Sometimes Ephesians 3:20 doesn’t land as comfort—it lands as a stirring. You read about God doing more than you can ask or imagine, and suddenly there’s an idea you can’t shake. A business. A solution. A gap you notice. Not fully formed, not risk-free, but persistent. That doesn’t automatically mean “quit everything tomorrow.” But itContinue reading “When Ephesians 3:20 Feels Like a Nudge Toward a New Business”
When God Works Within: Training the Mind to Make Room for More
In the previous reflection on Ephesians 3:20, we explored how God’s ability goes far beyond what we ask or imagine—and how that power is already at work within us. But that raises an honest follow-up question: If God’s power is at work within us, why do our thoughts still feel so small sometimes? The answerContinue reading “When God Works Within: Training the Mind to Make Room for More”
More Than We Can Imagine: Ephesians 3:20 and the Power of the Mind
Ephesians 3:20 is one of those verses that feels like it stretches your soul a little wider every time you read it. Paul writes that God is able to do far more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us. That last phrase—within us—is easy to skim past, butContinue reading “More Than We Can Imagine: Ephesians 3:20 and the Power of the Mind”
Ephesians 3:20 — Less Than a Month Into the Promised Land
When I wrote about entering the Promised Land, I imagined a sense of arrival. Relief. Settling. A deep exhale after a long stretch of waiting and hoping and trusting. And in some ways, that’s been true. But it’s been less than a month, and already I’m realising something important: the Promised Land isn’t static. ItContinue reading “Ephesians 3:20 — Less Than a Month Into the Promised Land”
More Than I Asked For — Ephesians 3:20 From an A&E Waiting Room
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”— Ephesians 3:20 More Than I Asked For — Ephesians 3:20 From an A&E Waiting Room When I think about this verse now, I don’t picture big dreams or boldContinue reading “More Than I Asked For — Ephesians 3:20 From an A&E Waiting Room”
