Chasing the Unknown

Hi Wai Jia, I am going to climb the Bluff Knoll today. If you don’t hear me by the end of the day, please call for help. A few weeks ago, Bluff Knoll came up when I was checking out hiking trails in Perth.   It is the highest peak in Western Australia, with an elevation […]

Do not worry about your life

If there are verses in the Bible that dominate my life, they will be found in Matthew 5 and 6. The verses in chapter 6 about do not worry are of particular importance. I believe this is the key way how to live as we follow Jesus. I am referring to verses 25 to 34. […]

42 and easter reflections

Today is Easter Sunday and also my bday. Woohoo, I turn 42! It is more special to reflect on the cross. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been asking myself, how has the cross changed my life?There is one thing that is grappling with my heart. It asks me how the cross changed the […]

Welcome back Wai Jia

It has been about two weeks since Wai Jia came back from Eswatini. Since she came back, we tried out a new routine in Team Tam. Even though she was gone for only 7 weeks (feels like 7 years!), a lot of things have changed. For one, our older child started going to school during […]

Contentment

Two weeks ago, I discovered that we have COVID. So all of us (me, my kiddies, and my mom) are isolated at home for seven days. It was crazy. I feel like God is stretching me. First, be a stay-at-home dad with Wai Jia. Then, Wai Jia is off to Africa while I look after […]

Toil and Spin

This is the dwarf sunflower we planted just before Wai Jia flew to Africa. I am such a garden newbie that I have no idea if it was weed or a sunflower when it was growing. Earlier this week, our neighbour told us that it bloomed. When I saw this flower, the first thing that […]

Doing More by doing less

Wai Jia, my wife, has been away from us for almost a month now. She is now in Africa helping out with UNICEF. This has been one of the most intense periods of my life because I am looking after the kiddies 24/7. Before I go on, I will say that I can only do […]

Living off of God’s Word

I am not the type that makes yearly resolutions. It is not because I don’t believe in planning; I do. It is because most of my plans are not based on calendar time. One of my plans is to finish my thesis. I have already finished writing it and am in the process of editing […]

Good suffering vs bad suffering

Last month when I was reading my Bible, I came upon Deuteronomy 8. In verse 3, it says: So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; […]

Thesis-time

For the past two months, I’ve been knee-deep in my thesis. I’ve learned that you first write it and then the hard part is editing it. I’ve learned so much in this process. I am trying not to rush this journey so I can submit something semi-intelligent. Just one more month of editing, proofing and […]
