Recently I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery. This journey has brought me to places I’ve never been. In the last year alone, I’ve broken several of my personal boundaries. From going on a solo bike-trip over a thousand kilometres away from home, to learning to fly a plane and leaving the comforts of earth’s gravity. From returning to Christian ministry after a season of hurt, to diving into a potentially new industry called coaching. Physically, I kept pushing my outward boundaries. Psychologically, I kept pushing my mental, emotional, and spiritual tolerance. 

It is my deepest desire to be a better person. To have an ever higher output for the society. I want to value add my community and make an impact on the people around me. I want every minute that I live to count. I want to leave a legacy.

I can’t do this staying stagnant in a comfortable 9-5 job. I can’t do this without ever pushing my boundaries. I can’t do this if I’m sticking to my comfort zone. I can’t do this if I laze around and not do anything. I need to get out there.

But getting out there also meant that there will be an increased chance of getting hurt. In my journey of self-discovery, I’ve met with several near-death experiences, several heart-aches, and burn outs. But every time, God has proven Himself faithful. He has never failed to protect me, sustain me, heal me, and bless me. Through it all, God has carried me on eagles wings, protecting me from all forms of harm. And even when I am hurt, the peace that God provided guarded me in Him, allowing my faith to grow.

And that is why I am here on this platform. I would like to use this platform to document my journey of discovery. On one hand, I want to document my growth in life. I want to keep a mental record of where I was in life and where I want to be. I want to be able to look back at this point in my life and be grateful for all the experiences and opportunities that I have. On another hand, I also want to document my journey with God; how He journey with me every step of the way. I want to document His love, His favour, His mercy, His kindness, and His grace towards me.

So here’s to taking this step forward in my first official blog post! I pray that this space will be edifying for you as it did me!
