About Me

Who am I? 

I used to think that I need to be this girl who has to have everything in order to be happy. Therefore, I strived to be better, craved for attention, struggled for appreciation and dreamed harder for a better life. 

When I was in so much trouble, I blamed God for my problems. I used to ask, "Why me, Lord? There are far worse and bad people in this world, why does it have to be me?" I was bitter and selfish. 

However, God is a God of mercy and grace. When He revealed to me His love and faithfulness, I realized how shallow I was. I knew I had to know Jesus Christ because deep in my heart I was longing for Him. Eventually, my heart began to change. In addition, the more I get to know Jesus the more I realized how sinful and ungrateful I was. 

Finally, here I am. Revealing His love and mercy to everyone I know and proclaiming everything the Lord has taught me. This is not my walk to perfection; this is I being His witness so that I may glorify His name above all names. 

Am I greater than the apostles or Paul who became a witness to the gentiles? No, I am not. My suffering is nothing compared to the tribulations they encountered. Like Paul said and I quote, “I am a mere human being, a servant of Jesus Christ, unworthy of praise”. Thereby, let be the name of Jesus Christ be lifted higher and to God be all the glory and praise!
