So I decided to document 2014 in an online zine entitled A Year in the Life (23rd Edition), or AYL 23 for short, to be released each month. I just decided this a few days ago, but I managed to put together the January issue before this month officially ends. Though it is rushed and underdeveloped, I’m looking forward to this little project of mine—a creative outlet for my photography, doodles and nonsensical rambles. My sister Joyce also has her own column called “Thé Time” (pronounced teh, the French word for tea but unrelated to tea, most of the time) Here’s to all the adventures I’ll be having this year. God is good!

One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast: a slice of whole grain bread + spinach + hummus + one egg, poached, paired w. orange juice. Mmm💕

Be assured that He delights in showing Himself strong in the challenges of our life. And when He proves His power on our behalf, let’s remember to give Him the glory!

So happy for my sister! God blessed her with an amazing man who loves the Lord. Praying for a relationship full of love, grace and forgiveness, founded on God’s love, because she’s a beautiful daughter of the Most High King.

Sister bear, this made me cry. And my happiness may be in Paul, but my joy is in Christ. It's an absolute blessing to have godly siblings raised by two loving, God-fearing parents. The joy of the LORD is our strength.

God is a God of Second Chances-and third and fourth and even more chances. He loves you. God’s approval is not based on your achievements. It is based solely on the fact that you are His child and He sees the best in you. There is nothing you can do, and there’s nothing anyone else can do, that will ever change your value in God’s eyes. But you have to do your part. Quit over-analyzing your faults; stop taking an inventory of everything wrong with you. You make mistakes, ask for forgiveness and then move on. Don’t become overly concerned if you are not changing as quickly as you would like. Stay focused on what you can become, and God will get you to where you need to be.

God promises to take care of us. One day at a time. It's not our job to figure out the future. The future belongs to God. The future is in His hands. God doesn't reveal the future to us because it's simply too big to handle. In the car today, I heard a story on the radio about a girl who asked her father a really, really big question. Her father said, "First, bring me my briefcase." The briefcase was too big and too heavy for the girl to carry. After she tried and struggled in her attempt to pick it up, her father picked it up and said, "What kind of father would I be if I gave you something too heavy to carry?" This is the future. It's too big for us to handle. So don't worry about it! God will help us—one step at a time. #trust&obey
