Life Counting Questions

Recently gide got this lcd pad from his neighbor friend's birthday goodie bag (thank you khalif and tante putri!!).. we started to use this pad to have math quiz where we give each other math problems to be solved.. p.s. if you are a parent yourself you know that how we need to be creative in engaging our kids to learn..

gide is very happy when he could answer the problem that i gave him.. of course i started with easy one like 1+1 or 2+2 and so on.. he would be puzzled if i give him tough questions (according to him anyway) like 1 million + 1 million or 2 million + 2 million 😂🤣😂🤣 oh dear gide if only you know solving these questions are as simple as like solving 1 apple + 1 apple or 2 apple + 2 apple..

another thing which makes him very happy is when he thinks that he could give me very hard question (again, this is according to him).. he would smile wildly expecting i would not be able to give solution to the problem and end up dissapointed that i could solve the problem in less than 10 seconds 😄😄😄 one of the examples of his "hard" questions is 2+1+100+25..

when i ponder about this i got reminded that a lot of times we throw "hard" life questions to God and think that this is equally hard for Him to answer them.. maybe when God receive the questions He will smile and give us the face that is telling "I got this son/daughter, nothing is too hard for me".. it is not like He could not answer the question but He want to answer the question with our best interest in mind even if it means it does not meet our expectation.. 

i guess in the end we can have questions, which is perfectly normal, but we should not question God's goodness, faithfulness and intention in our lives..

“I am the Lord , the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?"

Jeremiah 32:27 NLT

Unanswered Prayer: Father's Perspective

Always a big fan of Prodigal Son's story since I could see myself as the son who left home to pursue something else that I perceive is better than being with the Father. However no matter what I have done and how bad I think of myself after making the same mistakes, it is always comforting and relieving that I always have a home to go back to. Recently when I read the story again I found one important truth that makes me even more grateful to be called His son. He was so hungry ..  That brought him to his senses..  I’m going back to my father.. When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him.   From the story we can see that there is a huge difference between what makes us tick and what makes God tick. What moves us is our tummy which correlates to our needs, while what moves the Father is His heart which corresponds to love. If we think about it what drives us to think, to do, and to move is our de...

It Is All About The Base

Christmas is coming!! 🎉🎉🎉our family is so excited to have our first ever christmas tree in singapore.. we had a mini tree last time but it does not count as it does not have the feel as much as a tree with proper height.. So we bought this tree last sat and tried to set it up on sun and mon.. what took it so long?!.. the biggest issue was we can't make the tree stood straight as it is supposed to.. several tries it leaned backward, another few tries it was slanted to the right.. so frustrating because of 2 things: 1) our expectation is so high as this is our first christmas tree but we could not make it right 2) we hate to dissapoint kakak gide as he kept talking about decorating the tree.. After several battle scars trying to tighten the base we realized that the issue was with the base itself.. it did not serve as firm foundation for the tree to stand straight and tall.. thus we decided to come back to the shop.. cut the drama short (the store's real opening hours differs ...

Different Perspectives on The Goodness of God

I am still waiting for my breakthrough.. I believe each one of us still having that area that we are all still waiting for that moment when God just shows up and makes things right.. It could be in our family, career, relationship, ministry, purpose, and so many other areas of our lives.. I thought at first we will be truly sincerely give thanks to God and be sure that God is indeed good when that supernatural moment comes.. This is what I believe until I received totally different perspectives recently.. First and foremost God has shown me that His goodness could not be measured by only the mega, big, major things like miracles, supernatural breakthroughs, or unexpected blessings.. It is always us who somehow put a mental barrier that only when this or that happens I could praise God for His goodness.. Only then I can give thanks to God with the right heart attitude.. Only then I would recognize how good God is.. This heart posture kills joy, peace, and hope since it creates lies that...
