Being Led by Him

“Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.” -Psalm 61:2

Since the religious month of Ramadhan had kicked in, coincidentally my spiritual side also suddenly became slightly more reactive. I’ve never been the sort to be preachy about religion or how “Christian” I am – or to remind people that just believing in Him will lead you to heaven. I have never been an Evangelist spreading the good news to others because I don’t really have the guts to do it. In fact, I truly believe that religion is between you and your God (whomever your God is). I stopped going to church for numerous reasons and I remember being around church members that were always so quick to judge my lifestyle, my friends, and my environment, kept me away more than it drew me close. I think Jesus spent enough time around prostitutes and lepers as much as he did disciples and followers, so I don’t need to justify what I do to  anyone. At the end of the day, I answer to God and that is the single thing that keeps me in check.

I attended one of these church dinners the other day, with a few family members and as the Bishop prayed, he said out this verse: Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. It spoke volumes to me because I have been the architect of my career and with all the plans that I have inked out for myself, I forget that my life could have a bigger calling and that there could be bigger things for me to come (even though IÂ already dream big). So I thought I’d share this verse with everyone whether you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or even Jewish. There is truly a higher power greater than we can for see and keep the faith that He will lead you to a higher Rock. I count my blessings and I know that a lot of my life that is masterminded by Him. Only He will know which path he wants me to go and only He can take me there.

Happy fasting my Muslim friends, your steadfast diligence is a reminder for me to be grateful for the good things I have in my life! Selamat Berpuasa!

    We all got dressed up for @roshanvaliram’s birth We all got dressed up for @roshanvaliram’s birthday celebrations last night! Pulled this gown by @syomirizwagupta out of my closet to dress in theme! (Thank God it still fits!) 

It was so good to connect with so many faces I haven’t seen in ages and the best thing about friendships are the laughter, the connection and how they bring out the best in you. 

In isolation, we learn how to connect with ourselves but in communities we learn how to connect with others. When we learn how celebrate one another, we give ourselves the permission to celebrate us. ❤️

Happy birthday Roshan!

    This year has been memorable for many reasons and This year has been memorable for many reasons and it has been the year where I have introduced more self-acceptance in my journey. The feeling of lack and the needing to compare has faded into the opportunity to celebrate joy. 

By the act of surrender and flowing into alignment, the gift of abundance has been more evident than ever. Whatever I do to give comes back ten-fold through friendships, relationships and partnerships. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my birthday and give a treat to those who don’t often feel celebrated. I wanted to share my blessings with them. 

Thank you @mykyochon for helping me organise, @ngohub.asia for helping me discover @destinywelfare and @nadiahnasirr / @heyjnrjh for being a part of this. 

More importantly thank you to Irene for offering these children a solid education during these formative years. 

Everyone remembers kindness and it is never a random act. ❤️

I felt so grateful to have everyone in my life, especially those who have taken the time to send birthday wishes. The pink candle represents the last year of this decade for me! So it was indeed a special one. My friends know me best when it comes down to being celebrated on my special day! How can one complain when there is an abundance of love being showered over me. Thank you for one of the best birthdays yet! 🥰🥰🥰
