A very unusual topic for a book, that's what makes this interesting. And of course, Haruki Murakami. ❤️

Whoah!🤩 The urgency to shift to offline/analog means of enjoying one's time has pleasantly ushered the birth of this public reading space. Way to go, mahal kong Pilipinas! 🇵🇭

Looking forward to how this "new cool" will trickle down to the daily Filipino life. 🤩

Got this book as a required reading for a lecture. Pleasantly surprised that I am enjoying its metaphorical structure, a tour of three places in Japan, to carry its storyline!

As a person who formally retired at 38 years old, its principles on "life purpose" resonates beautifully with my season. I did not truly retire, I just chose to work on projects that I am truly passionate about. Work is life-giving because we are designed by God to work His garden. I am grateful that I get to pour my time and energy now to my primary work -- loving and nurturing my family. 🥰

Just a few pages through has gotten me excited how this book will enrich me so that I can, in turn, add value to my lecture audience! 🙏

"The White Shoes" is inspiring, "Junie B." is hilarious, and "Peter Pan" will sweep you off to an exciting adventure! Enjoy! 🤩🚀

He chose this and paid for it with his own savings. I am glad he gets to read what he supposedly wants to watch. 😆

Some books are meant to enrage us, and this book does that to me! 😡

As a homeschooling mother, I am reminded that my son's life mission is not to singularly please me. He is his own person. Tethering him to my unfilfilled dreams and unresolved issues will create a unhealthy mangled sense of self. I am simply the guardrails he holds until such time he walk this life on his own, equipped with the independent capacity to think, decide, and act according to God's will.

I am halfway through this book, looking forward to how Net will find her own sense of self apart from the abuse and manipulation. 🙏

MERRY CHRISTMAS, our Handrail House Community!

Which name of Jesus, as foretold in Isaiah 9:6, have you experienced this 2025? Which name do you cling on to for the coming year?

💙 WONDERFUL COUNSELOR - Jesus is the ultimate Source of wisdom and guidance. The world pulls us in so many directions but the most satisfying, joyful, and sure path is where Jesus has lead us to. Are your life choices aligned with His counsel?

💙MIGHTY GOD - God spoke everything into existence! Imagine that mighty power! This idea is so mindblowing that thinking of it deeply should bring us to worship! What areas of our lives do we lift and trust to the mightiness of Jesus?

💙EVERLASTING FATHER - Our Triune God is a generous, protective, caring, and loving father. Do you yearn for a fatherly presence in your life? Come to Jesus, He is waiting for you, just like the father of the Prodigal son, with arms wide open!

💙PRINCE OF PEACE - Jesus is our ultimate Redeemer, reconciling us sinners to the Father, taking upon Himself God's wrath on the cross. Living under the Lordship of Jesus, we are assured of shalom -- peace with God encompassing not only freedom from worldly wants, the absence of conflicts, but a state of wholeness, of completeness. Do you long for that peace? Come to Jesus!

As we celebrate Jesus' birth let us not forget to rejoice that He is with us -- our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace! With that we can live whole lives, free from sin and senseless striving, anticipating His coming! 🙏🎉

Merry Christmas!

The Story God is Writing

Mary had quite the unique journey to motherhood. An unmarried virgin, she carried the Son of God. Mary could have easily felt lonely or isolated, but she was not alone in the story God was writing.

For decades, Mary’s relative Elizabeth and her husband Zechariah prayed and asked God for a child. After many years, God answered their prayers. When an angel told Mary she would give birth to Jesus, the Savior of the world, she went straight to Elizabeth—who was a few months along in her own miraculous pregnancy.

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting upon her arrival, the baby in her womb leapt and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, exclaiming, “​​Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!” (Luke 1:42)

Keep in mind, Mary had only just found out about her pregnancy. It would have been so easy, so understandable to be overwhelmed, afraid, or distressed. Mary hadn't even yet wed her husband, Joseph. And yet, watch the trust and confidence in her response:

“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” Luke 1:46-47

They celebrated the work of God together—Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three months. Imagine the conversations they must’ve had: prophecies fulfilled, the future of the Kingdom of God, what would their sons’ lives look like?

Mary made a choice to rejoice in the story God was writing, a story of trust and celebrating the work of God.

Today, how does Mary’s story encourage you to trust God? What is your response to the story God is writing in your life? Take a moment to reflect on how you can glorify the Lord and rejoice in Him today.
