With a bizarre family like mine, we are always laughing, smiling and having fun ALL THE TIME...actually...we rarely express the emotion sadness... This Mother's Day morning, we had. It's hard now to regroup my thoughts and start working again, one always used quote just popped up in my head.....and that is... Life is precious. ~ch And Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly I say to you, if you have and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it shall happen."             -Matthew 21:21

  "And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong, it rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone, 'cause I was there when you say forever and always"    ~Taylor Swift I remember one day in the smallest bedroom in my house, I was a seventh grade that cared about two things: grades and boys. It was a vivid memory that starts when my cousin told me to go into the room and had me read a text from a guy from my fellowship. It was something about being his girlfriend and all that... At that moment, I told my cousin to reject him..and that is exactly what she did. I always wonder in my head, what would have if my cousin said yes...how would that change her life? Would he be dating my cousin/another girl? All in all, I believe that “love” was/is/will be “forever and always”.  ~ch   I will never be able to grasp on to the future but I know that God has his marvelous plans...

         Today, my close friend texted me wondering what happened to a friend from many years ago. I sat in my math class and asked myself a lot of "I wonder..." questions. Grade 7 was a year when a close friend decided to avoid me to seek for popularity. She later left the school because of certain 'reasons' We didn't say goodbyes and she simply just left. I don't know where she is on the phase of this Earth but I hope she remembers how much she hurt her "true friends."            I wonder if she holds any regrets for leaving "our group' and searching for popularity. Friendship has become a huge part of my life but this proves that friendship doesn't always exist in cloud9. *sigh* This person has taught me what I should value in a friendship and most importantly, how to forgive.  Princess Diana. C.W. Muskoka.                              ...

        Other than Bethany Hamilton, Tessa Virtue, Scott Moir, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence ..and other famous people around the world...I have been heavily influenced and admire a lot of different people for their accomplishments in their own respective careers but...one person has affected a lot too. My dad. I once wrote a piece called 'Behind the Sunset' that really touched upon this relationship we had. He's cool and I bet that there are many people in the world that would want to have a male role-model like him.          I have a a lot of friends that don't have the GREATEST 'daddy' role model...but the truth is, my dad isn't perfect either. [and I have certainly inherited his bad habits too :/] But there will always be one perfect dad out there, and that is God. Although He may not be physically there, as long as you trust Him, He will be guiding your life, highs and lows... :)       ...

           Over the past 48 hours, a piece of news struck me to get onto the computer and write this blog. I struggled grouping my thoughts about this blog because in my blog, I often write myself and my feeling about things going on in my life...but this time, it's more of my reflection on choices that other people made in their life.           In my life, I've made countless decisions, small decisions like 'I am going to wear a hoodie to school today' or 'I'm ready to get baptized '  These decisions were made after some thoughts.  *sigh* God didn't create relationships to be like this.....ahhhh! To all those reading my blog, seek God to make the decisions in your life, because only He (through the bible) can give you the correct answer to how to life that is Christ-centered.            This mypersonal blog is the one and only place where I can express my opinions about this, I'm...

        Over the past month, I've been learning about what it means to start a 'Christ-centred relationship' and all that dating stuff at church. I was struck by the boundaries that Christians must follow but I also understand all these things are meant for my good...but back at school, I would always wonder in the crowd of people during lunch, who would I date?           Just like any teen girl, every now and then, I feel "desperate," and I want to be in a relationship and have a boy that gives me flowers on Valentines Day. I wonder if it's my looks, or my mature personality that scares boys away. All these uncertainties and thoughts creep into my head...and eventually, I ask God, why?  why? why?           Recently, I watched Nick Vujicic's 60 Minute Interview that featured his wife. I was inspired by how his disability didn't keep himself away from meeting a girl he loved. I became a...

       It's April 15, and it's a little late to write a reflection on March...but here it is! March 2013 became the month that has changed my life forever, for the good of course! I have experienced something called love like I have never seen before...Through three events, Winter Camp, Baptism and Easter...         First, Winter Camp. It was my first time serving so many teenagers and I never thought I would ever do it. But as the pastor at my church said this past Sunday, "We live by faith and not by sight." I have never been so dedicated to serving God before. From start to finish, I felt that God was carrying me through. He often reminded me that this camp is not about "me" but Him. I can truly say that I can now continue to challenge myself with other serving opportunities. I am willing to let go and let God lead me to where HE wants me to be.        Secondly, Baptism. An ev...
