Rachel here...who am i? Hmmm...that's a question i never really know how to answer.
All i can say is i'm a child of God journeying through this road called life with my finest blessings - my family, friends and folks i bump into along the way.
Who i am don't matter. What does matter is that we connect and encourage each other along our different paths that lead to the same destination -
Our Father face to face!
So ewe (pronounced 'You' meaning lamb; the meaning of my name) see....it's about the little (n big) things in life that connect us to one another (unity in diversity) and bring us closer to God.
Ephesians 4:4-7
"We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future.
There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all."
Make yourself at home, voice your thoughts...i'd love to hear from you!
Love n peace out!

Rays of Light
Yipee! I've survived another term! This term, in fact these couple of months have been really hard.
With Aunty's shop closing down, moving out of church, starting a new job, and having less time and energy to really concentrate on stuff i wanna learn...it's been so trying. I honestly was about to call it quits to a couple of things.
But in the midst of all this craziness, i kinda lost my purpose. What on earth was i doing? Why on earth am i doing what i'm doing? What was the point of striving to accomplish all the desires within? I just lost it!
I sense the answers emerging, though still hazy at the moment. But i'm still going on...to be right here, right now. And no i'm not going on 'cos i'm such a strong person. I'm going on because...
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13). But this verse has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I used to perceive the word strength as being strong physically, emotionally or mentally. Or being able. But this time round my strength was really the listening ear, the encouragement, the laughter and 'don't give up-you can do it' pushing forward of the people around. Yup, God uses people to strengthen us.
Thank you to them...especially Mummy, Michelle, Stef, Tita, Avoni, Munirah, Yas & Div for letting me release my madness via sms or mail too :) You may not be aware of it...but you're used as rays of light that illuminate God's never-giving-up love and grace to us.
This has been a breakthrough for me after certain situations has built a solid rock hard wall around myself. Interesting, that in the hardest of times, something good emerges.
So to Miss independent, Mr I can-take-care-of-myself or the one who smiles to cover up all the questions, the pain, the tears...
Don't throw in the towel
Don't give up
Don't beat yourself up
Don't think nobody knows or cares
We can hide from the world but
He sees
He knows
He cares
He loves
Just call one name and in the most helplessness, you'll find yourself somewhere good.
The name is Jesus.
Now my prayer is 1) you'll find the light 2) i'll stay in the light...
Till soon...enjoy my theme song for this season...
Yes, it's been a loooooong.....time! I don't know where the month went but i'm in a state of panic now 'cos another month's coming to an end and i've got two assignments to complete and an exam to study for....ahh...(breathe in, breathe out)!
So ewe see...That's why i've taken a couple of days off to fully dive in and concentrate. To get my creative juices flowing, TADA...old blog; new skin...nice ay?!(Singing "I'm Loving It"...don't believe i was messing round with all that javascript!But APPLAUSE to the designer for such a great skin design (check out links)!
Right...so after channelling my energies into my assignments and studies...i shall be back! Yes to finally write all the crazy, cool, funny, scary but significant stuff i've been yearning to.
Till then...Look at the quote at the right by Max Lucado? Think on this...how have we used our sphere of influence to live such a stirring live? Or have we at all? Inspire me, teach me... by leaving me a tag!

Each of us should live a life stirring enough to start a movement...We should love unquenchably,dream unfalteringly, and work unceasingly.
