over 13,000 pageviews in 2018.

No kidding.

I was so amazed when this figure showed up. Numbers aren’t everything, and they aren’t a target I need to reach to prove that my blog has been successful (thank God for that!). But they help me keep track of which posts are doing well and how I can continue improving my writing. And for someone who hasn’t spent a dime on advertising… I think this is definitely worth celebrating!

These were the posts that received the most love on this humble space. Thank you for reading them and sharing them!

inspiring christian instagram accounts to follow

This was the best-performing post for 2018, and I’ve received a lot of feedback that the recommendations have been really helpful. I hope these accounts encourage and inspire you too!

women who inspire: bernice

I’ve known Bernice and what she does at Graceworks for a number of years, but it was only in 2018 that the idea came upon me to interview her and find out more about the faith-focused publishing and training consultancy she co-runs with her husband Soo-Inn and how God has been faithful in her life. Clearly, a lot of people wanted to know more too!

what i’ve learnt after 3 years of marriage

Marriage takes work. And as a woman who has struggled a fair bit with it, here’s something I wrote after reflecting on being married for three years (it’s four now woohoo!).

there you are

I remember my heart thumping like crazy when I asked my friend Naomi if she would be keen to write something for my blog last January. And thumping even more when she immediately said “yes!”. Her words are filled with such incredible power, grace and love… it’s a total must-read.

review: herbivore botanicals’ coco rose body polish

One of my favourite beauty buys of 2018! Also, I now know how difficult it is to snap nice photos in a tiny bathroom :p

coffee with tze: life as a missionary, photographer and storyteller

My friend tze’s life story never fails to intrigue and inspire me. He’s been to some of the most incredible places in the world, and his images are truly one-of-a-kind.

women who inspire: yare

My friend Yare is an amazing singer-songwriter from Bolivia, and I was so happy that she shared her heart for music and for God with this blog.

where is God in the waiting?

This was a piece I wrote for Naomi’s blog. It was also shared on Thir.st, a faith-based online publication in Singapore. I wrote this while experiencing a time of limbo where I felt so uncertain about the future. If you find yourself in a time of waiting, may these words bless you.

life in vancouver, illustrated

My friend Angeline drew these series of comics to illustrate scenes from her new life in Vancouver. They’re full of humour and are such a joy to look at!

women who inspire: sharon

This was one of those moments in life where if you don’t do it, you’ll probably never even dream of doing it again… I approached Sharon after a church service where her husband, Darrell Johnson, was preaching at. She readily agreed to speak to me about life as a pastor’s wife, and I can’t even express how grateful I am that she would take the time to share so openly and honestly about her life with me.

And there you have it: some of my most loved posts for 2018 🙂
