My Dad wrote these words for me on my 18th birthday. Everyday I remember these words (and every year on March 26 I post it on my wall ️), praying that I will be able to love God well and that it will be evident in my actions, my thoughts, my life. Not an easy thing to do, ...
Trust Him With All Your Heart
Proverbs 3:5-6 is my life verse. For someone who can be so doubtful and skeptical and analytical, TRUSTING is just so hard for me to do. My tendency is to make calculated steps; often I find myself needing to see first before I believe. In the recent years God has taught me a ...
Sometimes, God Affirms in the Most Unlikely Places
A funny thing happened last Saturday while the four of us were grocery shopping. Landmark was closing and we had to rush, so my husband and I had to split, him with Dawn and me with Rain. So as I was pushing my cart through an isle of biscuits, a tall guy approached me. It ...
Pursuit Manila: March Gathering & Creative Workshop
Whew. This took long enough! Sorry about that. I suppose things like this happen when a community is growing. There's so much we have to consider and plan just to put one gathering together! But even though the preparation is crazyyy, we're over the moon about how God is ...
Trust, Hide, Rest, and the Brook of Cherith
There were a lot of unusual things that happened today. Like, actually resting on a Sunday, staying home, trading our Sunday best to pairs of pajamas, not working. I cooked lunch, D gave the girls a bath, we changed their diapers, fed them, sang them songs, watched Big Hiro 6, ...

A lot of people have been asking me what Pursuit is all about, and sometimes I find it hard to describe it in just one sentence. The standard answer is, "We're a community of (female) creatives who live to bring God glory through our creative passions, our businesses, our homes ...
Pray, He Listens
It's easy to forget to pray, but time and time again I realize how brilliant praying to God is. Seriously. Praying is not just spiritual, it's also in a way, practical. I can't anymore recall the number of times I have so much to do and I would feel paralyzed and helpless and ...
Keeping it Healthy with Juice Hut
It's true what older people would say. When you reach the age of 30, you start feeling all sorts of body pains; you get tired, and sick, and fat (tell me about it) more easily; you can't even do all-nighters anymore! You find yourself looking back and reminiscing your younger ...
