I really love education. I think often about the ways and means one can acquire information. In an age and time where information is at our fingertips, literally, we have access to more knowledge than ever before.

Word for the year: RECALIBRATE
RECALIBRATE Definition: to check again by comparison with a standard (true value). Why is this important? We set our lives against various standards/values (definitions below). However, without recalibration we can veer off course. We have the intention to stay the course and yet we can drift away from that path. By recalibrating, we put ourContinue reading “Word for the year: RECALIBRATE”
Career and Calling
I am still very passionate about careers and decision-making. Having gone on my own journey from bioengineer to PhD in STEM Education to Research Analyst in Financial Services (not to mention the jobs in my teen years), I sometimes reflect/lament “What am I doing?

Still Going Good?
Like me, you may be in the thick of it. But just because all things are not good, does not mean God is not good at all times. This is the thought I’ve been trying to impress upon my mind. At present, it is not a matter of logic or reasoning. I know what theContinue reading “Still Going Good?”

uprooted (part 3).
Perpetual maintenance, an unholy marathon of wack-a-mole, that “oh-no this again” feeling… These are just a few phrases to describe my experiences and attempts to tackle some of my biggest struggles and stumbling blocks. It seemed like they would come back again and again despite my best efforts to manage them. Key word manage… However,Continue reading “uprooted (part 3).”

Here are some points and scripture to ponder. You can do this! God is not the author of confusion but of peace. God always leads you in making decisions that are consistent with His word, nature, and character.

Walk this Way
Change is afoot. I have been feeling unsure and uneasy with what lays ahead of me. Yesterday, I was mentioning this to a friend and she began to encourage me. As she was speaking, the Lord spoke this to my spirit and said: “Look for the Lord’s ways and walk in it.” I knew thisContinue reading “Walk this Way”
