February Blues

The flowers blossom around.
The flowers blossom around.
But striving to become more like Jesus yields far greater results than simply trying to improve ourselves.
What if missing the world means gaining more of His Word, knowing His desires and heart, and slowly discovering more of who He is? What if, by missing the world and letting go of all the hopes we have for it, we find perfect fulfillment in knowing that we have Christ and that we are forgiven? What if missing the world means forgetting the fleeting happiness it offers, and instead desiring holiness and sanctification?
Teaching is as much about learning—about life, people, and the world around us—as it is about imparting wisdom. So, if you’re ready to embrace the challenge, to see life from new angles, and to grow alongside your students, then step forward. The classroom awaits.
You may think your voice is too soft, that the world is too loud to hear you, but even a faint whisper can echo in a silent heart. Even a broken story can bring healing to someone who feels the same way.
On my way home, I saw a boy getting drenched in the rain as he rescued a little cat. I smiled. Suddenly, I felt loved. It reminded me of how God does the same for us every day.
Some dreams fade, some stories end, and some loves burn away. There are days when you live with the haunting "what ifs"—what if they came to life? Would I be happier?
Cheers to a year wrapped in grace and forgiveness, where His unchanging faithfulness carried us through. Here's to a new year filled with fresh hopes, new mercies, unexpected miracles, heartfelt prayers, and renewed life—all with the same faithful God by our side.
This Christmas, may you reflect on the truth that Jesus, the King of Kings, came to offer a life filled with meaning and purpose, even amid suffering. As He rested in the manger, God’s promise was fulfilled: Emmanuel—God with us.
We are merely passing through—sojourners and pilgrims in this temporary world.
