FANTASY OR GOD-GIVEN DREAM
Today, my heart says write. I desire to write. I have this fantasy of being a writer surrounded by books. The Korean drama series that reminds me of this was Irene. I looked forward to watching it every day. I remember trying to finish my assigned task as fast as I could so that I could get to watch that Korean drama. I could still remember those books that surrounded Irene when she was writing.…

YOU ARE INVITED
Jesus’ invitation is to come and follow Him (Mark 1:17). However, in this day and age, there are so many invitations to come to church and follow their visions, yet they miss Jesus. The truth is, when we follow Jesus, we find rest in our souls. He knows what we are capable of and what we are not. He does not manipulate people. In Him, we find peace in our souls.
On the other hand, if we think…

HEALING IS NOT LINEAR
HEALING IS NOT LINEAR
Looking back, I was assertive in recommending what I thought was best for people who were ill.
When people were physically sick, I prayed for their healing and encouraged them to speak the Word because God’s promises heal. His Word is the absolute truth. Others, I advised, should move and not be swayed by symptoms. That was simple to say back then. In my head, The Word was a theory. Some of what…

When you sense a threat, remember who God is!
When you sense a threat, remember who God is!
There are threats to life on this earth, and these threats vary from person to person. When we say threat, it means potential danger. Students may be at risk of receiving a failing grade in a specific subject. Employees may face the threat of losing a job that puts food on their table. Entrepreneurs may face bankruptcy, especially in the event of a pandemic. Others are in danger of dying on Earth…

WHEN INSULTED, PRAY!
There are times in life when our actions do not mean anything to people. Sometimes, we are ridiculed for doing something we believe is our advocacy that we received from the Lord. We are convinced that we have heard from God, and we think that what we are about to do benefits people, but not all people will find it beneficial.
When Nehemiah received the burden of rebuilding the wall of…

Eyes on Jesus
Life can sometimes be overwhelming, but it can also be underwhelming. Whichever side it is, both have their effect. When it is overwhelming, it is as if circumstances drown us with no hope for help. When it is underwhelming, it looks like we have been forgotten and useless.
Is it really possible to feel calm? To be consistent in any season, as Jesus was? I asked about it countless times. In my…

IT'S PERSONAL
IT’S PERSONAL
Even before the advancement of technology, faithful churchgoers, especially in the non-denominational protestant group, taught their congregants to read the Bible daily. They have this daily devotional guide that they desire their members to follow. Mostly, it is expected of those who are full-time church volunteers and those who are involved in the ministry. Their devotional faithfulness is…

DISCERNING OUR SEASON
I couldn’t sleep the other night because I was stressed out about a dream that I kept confessing but never followed through on. The more I thought about it, the more I saw the sacrifices I have to make if I do it. Then, it followed with so many what if’s. What if I cannot pass the entrance examination? What if I am not as sharp as I was before, and I cannot memorize or remember the lessons? What…

ALIGN YOUR PEN TO HIS WHISPER
ALIGN YOUR PEN TO HIS WHISPER
We are surrounded by so many motivational speakers these days. We can just check on YouTube , and as soon as we click one, we are guided by the algorithm, and we can have a lot of motivational talks within the day. Some of the speeches are so inspiring, while others are very practical and easy to follow. There is no denying that we can glean from the knowledge that they shared, and there is a…

HIS BURDEN IS LIGHT
HIS BURDEN IS LIGHT
I was taking a shower this morning when I was reminded of Fresh Manna Monday, the segment on my blog that I eagerly do. The Fresh Manna Monday is a part of this blog that is so precious to me because this is what I felt that I heard from God when I battled anxiety, hopelessness, and not feeling too well in my body. I remember sitting on my bed in our tiny room, praying that I could hear from God.…

THE BATTLE OF TRUSTING GOD
THE BATTLE OF TRUSTING GOD
At my age (43), I slowly learn that God is God, and I am not. We can have a vision board with all our desires and wants, but, His vision board for us will prevail. Sometimes though, what He wants us to go through looks scary, and so we fight for what we want because what we have for ourselves seems comfortable and convenient.
Trusting God is hard, especially for people like me who have trust…

Still Believing
It’s been a while before I have had this opportunity to post. It’s been a tough year. Last December 18, 2021, we returned to our tiny house and we have seen how the super typhoon Odette blew the tiny space that we worked hard for several years ago. We lost our house, our clothes, the books that I treasured for many years, and so much more.
On the other side, I am grateful to the Lord who saved…

Musings about Silence
Silence is often misinterpreted but cannot be misquoted. -Unknown-
It’s been almost two years of staying quiet on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account. I noticed that posting for the sake of posting is just nothing. I realized that it is not my job to make other people smile, and I am not working for social media platforms. On the other hand, I am not a politician nor a political analyst. I am not a pastor. Also, I do not know much about the people that I…

Chilli's Musings
Chilli’s Musings
Pause. Ponder. Reflect. Contemplate. Listen.
There are lessons in silence when we take time to listen. When we listen to what our Creator God is teaching us at the moment.
Lavinia, a novel written by Ursula Le Guin echoes this sentiment when she says, “when I listen, I can hear silence, and in the silence, his voice.”
In the Book of Psalms, we often find the word “Selah” which means “a word…
