Day 6: Mrs Minchinton and the pancake
15 years ago, I was year 6 at Ilam School and my teacher was Mrs Minchinton. (I don’t know if that is the correct spelling, but this is what the name sounded like). Maybe some of you who were in my class remember her. I remember her being active and enthusiastic yet firm when required.…

Day 5
People who ask questions, the ones who wonder. People with curious eyes, craving to know something. They sparkle. I like those people who ask questions. Their acute questions, so sharp they cut right through me, I bleed joy and liberation. Forgotten truth revealed, growing adoration. Ask away and set me free.

Day 4: Cycles of Life
It is so nice to just rest. It felt like I never had time to rest the past few months. I was always on the go, always had something on the to do list and even if I was ‘resting’ my mind never seemed to have any rest. The saddest part is, I wasn’t even…

Day 2: The Beauty is in the Opportunity Cost
The first time I came across the idea of opportunity cost was in High School. I was year 11, doing NCEA (haven’t wrote this word NCEA nor said in years!) I took as many subjects as I can in the sciences and maths. One of them was of course the still fascinating subject of economics!…

‘Forty Dollars for a book is too expensive!’
I kept telling myself ‘Nah, forty dollars for a book is too expensive’. I find myself visiting Unity Books over on High St again and again mainly for one particular book as of lately. It’s so peaceful when I walk in there, a shelter from the bustling streets, annoyed commuters, people grabbing a bite to…

내 마음
내 마음, 꺼지지 않는 불 밤이나 낮이나 타고 있는 내 마음 시커멓게 타서 잿더미가 되는게 나을까 뜨겁고, 그래서 따가운 내 마음.

It is joy
I love life in these moments. To give kindness feels way better than receiving kindness although the latter is also a great thing. He said it in Acts 20:35. To see His word become actualised in my clumsy life is joy. Joy is when I am by grace finally liberated from my temporary blindness and…
