Moments Worth
Reading
A growing collection of faith reflections — personal stories and honest moments where I’ve seen God lead, guide, and quietly show up in everyday life
Busy but Empty
I watched Squid Game and couldn't stop thinking; people risking everything, betraying everyone, dying for a jackpot they may never see. But then I looked at the world around me and realized it wasn't just a show. We are all playing a version of that game. The question is: what are we really chasing, and what are we losing along the way?
The Ostrich Kick
I was homeless for a month in a foreign country, no money, no friends nearby, no plan. I slept at a bus terminal in Manila with a suitcase and about 100 dollars in my wallet. I looked like a beggar. I cried like Peter when he denied Jesus. But that ostrich kick, the hardest moment of my life, was God's most precise redirection. It led me straight to where I was always meant to be.
Learning Resilience Through Failure
I didn't fail my 12th grade, but I scored far below what I needed, and I knew exactly why. I had spent my study time chatting with a girl instead of studying. My dad threw the college application forms at me and said, "Go find your own college." I was 16, ashamed, and determined never to ask him for money again. What happened next taught me something I didn't expect
Build the Broken Walls Within
Nehemiah didn't say "I will fix this." He said "let us build." Because broken things are rarely restored alone. This is not just a story about ancient walls — it's about the unseen walls within us that collapse slowly, through pride, anger, and the way we treat one another. And it's about what happens when we finally respond to God's invitation to rebuild.
In a Strange Car Shed, I Found the Lord
I thought I was just buying a car. I didn't know I was about to be scammed, stranded at 2 a.m. on a mountain road with a flat tire, a 2-month-old baby, and no proper tools. But in that dark car shed, in the middle of nowhere, God left something waiting for me — and it was exactly the right size.
The Last Words That Saved a Life
A man sinking in freezing water after the Titanic went down. Waves crashing. People dying around him. And a stranger who kept coming back — not to save his body, but his soul. This is the story of John Harper's last convert, and the question it left burning in my heart: what am I doing today with all the comfort I have?
A journey I never wanted, and the God I met there
A two-and-a-half day train journey through India with millions worth of equipment, a reluctant team, and no budget for comfort. I hated every moment of it. But somewhere in the chaos, the dirt, and my own ugly reactions — God showed up. And what He taught me in that crowded sleeper coach changed how I see people forever.
