Do you know what gets your blood pumping, really pumping?

For many years, I have envied people that always knew what they love...what they were born to love and do. Some people are just passionate about cooking, like my husband, he can turn boring food into the most salivating gourmet creation.

As for me? I remember my mother telling me, "You carry different knives all over you but none is sharp" in Chinese. In essence, it means, "You are jack of all trades, master of none".

Over the years, I've accepted that, I had a load of interests, have tried many things but found none that really got me going to pursue long-term. Without even praying about it (which once again proves how awesome God is), I was driven to study the bible with Jewish rabbinical insights and background and even began my Hebrew studies. The result... It blew the roof off me (it raises my roof) or shall I say I've found my "sweet spot"!! After 30-something years of wandering without pursuit, God pointed to me and said, "That's what you were made for!"

I have long asked to see the Word of God to come alive in ways I could feel and that it would carry substantial weight for me to live by. I love how He puts things in places that we only need to pay attention, we see how intricately His Word was bound together in sync. I am also fascinated by the Talmud, the Jewish tradtions and Rabbinal literature with intriguing stories that many times fill the gaps of scriptures. Though some may seem far-fetched, they are so interesting!

Whenever I study or listen to a teaching and allow the Lord to show me new things, I feel my whole body...every fiber of it... my spirit and soul just come alive with ecstatic excitement running through my veins. I am reminded of the scripture that says, "The secret things belong to the Lord, but the things revealed belong to us and our children.".

What is your sweet spot? What gets your blood pumping?
If you don't know, it's not too late. Ask, you shall receive. He's a GOOD FATHER!! Ask, and keep asking until you see what's to be revealed unfolds to you.

Remember, His timing is ALWAYS perfect!

Building Unshakeable Faith!!

Have I abandoned my blog for so long again?

Time is just flying by while we are having fun. With homeschooling the children, new direction and opportunities in mentoring, taking the kids around for the classes and activities, taking up classes myself, we are constantly on the go while trying to honor a day of rest in the week to recharge and go again.

I am sure I am not alone. Nonetheless, there's so much peace in my life, true peace amidst busy-ness.

I don't know how I could function without the Lord in my daily life, though it may sound cliche to some.
God cares about the big things and in every detail. I feel even without a schedule, He leads me to know when it's the perfect time to do laundry.

Putting God first is not just about giving Him the first hour of our every day, it's about having Him centered in our lives. When you care so much about someone, you want to be included in his/her life. That's how God is to me, and it's such an awesome thing to teach our children.

The "God-concept" has to be established in our children's own lives for that relationship to stick. I hope they will not say one day, "I believe... because my parents told me so." That's like an open door for someone to come in and knock that faith wall down and to lead a child astray when he has no clear and strong conviction of his/her faith.

With the Lord's help, we teach our children to hear God speak, first-hand, we teach them to talk to Him as their Best Friend. We teach them to ask God questions and listen for Him to answer. We see God's work in our daily life, and His presence in the smallest blessings.

God's real, He's not made up, He created all the beautiful things around us to remind us of His greatness and beauty. All will wither away, only God, His Word and the things of His Kingdom stand for eternity.

That, my friend, is the kind of faith built on the Rock, unshakeable... no matter what kind of bricks the world tries to bring on!
