THIS... True Accountability. →
WHAT IS ACCOUNTABILITY? Accountability is an active participation in giving and receiving from other believers. - Teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness - It’s the key to understanding your sin (especially pride)
BAD FORMS OF ACCOUNTABILITY
1. Eating together - Meeting up with each other and spending time together is not accountability. The little prayer before the meal is...
Proverbs 31:30
“Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
I don’t have any New Years resolutions because they’re bound to fail. However, after much prayer and conviction, I finally received a theme verse for 2012. This year, I will strive to become a godly woman of inner beauty who genuinely fears and loves the Lord wholeheartedly!...

Singing Blessings
Meet my grandpa! <3
While my relatives were gathered to celebrate my grandpa’s 85th birthday tonight, somehow I ended up singing a solo to bless my grandfather. As I extended my hands towards him and started singing, my self-consciousness melted away and, instead, the lyrics became my prayer for him:
A long long time ago from a place called heaven A divine plan was made just for you...
Solution: Find a Boyfriend?
Academic stress at school, a different kind of stress at home…
Brother: When you get a fiancee, I’m going to tax him for everything. Oh, taking my sister out on a date? Tax him for the time I won’t get to spend with her! Oh, bought my sister something? Tax him for the gift! Tax, tax, tax, tax! Your fiancee needs to be rich… Me: So you’re only going to tax my...
Are You Lukewarm? →
The essence of lukewarmness is the statement, “I need nothing.” The lukewarm are spiritually self-satisfied. To find out whether you are among that number, don’t look into your head to see if you think that you are needy; rather, look at your prayer life. It doesn’t matter what we think in our head, the test of whether we are in bondage to spiritual self-satisfaction is...
Abba Father, who compares to You? →
My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you. Psalm 139:1 I know when you sit down and when you rise up. Psalm 139:2 I am familiar with all your ways. Psalm 139:3 Even the very hairs on your head are numbered. Matthew 10:29-31 For you were made in my image. Genesis 1:27 In me you live and move and have your being. Acts 17:28 For you are my offspring. Acts 17:28 I knew you...
“He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then He...”

Mother's Matchmaking Mission #2
Remember Mission #1? I just came back from mission #2, and I’m still reeling from embarrassment.
Out of character, my mom told me this past weekend to clear my Wednesday evening schedule, since she and my dad were planning on taking their friend out to dinner. “But… what does that have to do with me?” I asked. “We’ll be meeting at Lucille’s at six,”...
12:34pm
Whenever I’m doing something and randomly look at the time and it happens to be a consecutive number (12:34), repetitive number (2:22), or a significant date (eg. July 24th = 07:24), it makes my day just a little bit better. Does anyone else feel this way?
PS. The significant increase in Tumblr posts and Facebook check-in activity in the last week correlates with the nearing due date of...
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you?
My brother and I had a phase in the past when we thought mainstream music was an incarnation of the devil himself (Illuminati?) and we steered clear from the radio, listening only to Christian music. This lasted a few weeks but I eventually wore out my CDs and started wanting to hear more of a variety of music as I drove, so I switched back to Top 40s. However, it’s been a while since then.

How to Glorify God at Work, by John Piper →
How can young workers glorify God at work?
Here’s the gist of my answer.
Dependence. Go to work utterly dependent on God (Proverbs 3:5-6; John 15:5). Without him you can’t breathe, move, think, feel, or talk. Not to mention be spiritually influential. Get up in the morning and let God know your desperation for him. Pray for help.
Integrity. Be absolutely and meticulously honest and trustworthy...

I hate CSB with a passion. That phrase encapsulates almost everything i hate about our generation. It’s dismissive, it has that annoying youthful arrogance to it, the word ‘bro’ is just stupid, the phrase is irresistibly catchy and as a young person i have to make a conscious effort not to use it (in the same way that it’s almost impossible not to sing along to the dumb songs on...

Parking Garage Confessions
I have a crush on a parking attendant. He’s short, bald, plump, in his sixties, and has one of the most genuine smiles I’ve ever seen.
At work, I’ve been parking in the guest parking structure for the past two-and-a-half months. And every day for these past 10 weeks, the same parking attendant has been collecting my validated parking ticket at the end of each workday....

Mother's Matchmaking Mission #1
Hahaha. The dreaded day that I’ve only heard distant rumors from other daughters about has come — my mother has taken my love life upon herself and is trying to set me up with her friend’s son, oh dear… *Embarrassed laughter*
Mom: Oh, you know how we’re going to New York in August? So I called my friend who lives in New York to ask her some stuff and the conversation just happened to...
Exulting in monotony
These past few weeks have been a blur. Albeit a happy haze, yet a blur is still a blur.
Drive an hour when I’m lucky, an hour and twenty on jammed days. Work, work, work. Conquer all the eateries within walking distance at lunch. Work, work, work, work, work. Drive for another hour to two hours. Eat dinner alone since I get home from work too late. Rest or go for a run at the neighboring...

One Man
I appreciate the efforts of our troops, respect the deceased, and celebrate a so-called “safer” world (which is why they’re increasing intelligence monitoring in Los Angeles, right? Oh the irony). However, the only death we should ever celebrate is that of Jesus Christ. Without His death, our deaths would be no different than his death — hopeless, condemned, and eternally...
