The greatest gift of my life has been discovering I am completely known, understood, forgiven, and most of all, loved by Jesus Christ.

The second, without a doubt, has been the gift of being loved by Jotham Amalesh.

The love of my life is officially a doctor and I could not be more proud 🏥🦧🎓

Since we first met, I have always been amazed by Jot. Whether I knew it or not at the time — what started as amusement and curiosity, quickly grew into deep respect and trust.

Jot is not only one of the smartest, most hard working people I know, he is the kindest man I have ever met. A man who gives his best to everything and everyone, and yet, is not shaped or swayed by this world. Who can lovingly adapt to each person and situation, without ever compromising who he is.

These past few years, I have seen him commit completely to the ambitions God has placed on his heart, without becoming consumed.

Because Jot is not just clever. He is not just a kind. He is someone who deeply knows Jesus loves him and who trusts His ways over his own.

Jot, I am so proud of you for graduating! Even more than that, I'm proud of you for doing these past six years in the most Jot way possible. Impacting so many lives in the unique, loving way that only Jot can. Finding every side quest and putting others above yourself...

Thank you for making time amongst all of that busyness and cleverness, to love me so well. You make every day an adventure... Next up F1! Let's goooooo!🐒 by @full.of.trees

Lately, God has been teaching me that I am small and He is big. I am needy, weak and often, very tired. He is strong, gentle and kind. I am thankful today to be loved by my heavenly father and to hold His hand through life. I am thankful to give Him everything that worries me and find all of this in return...

And so, it goes on. More precious memories made with the sweetest people, more babies waved at, coos scratched, strangers met. Smelly grows one tiny little inch taller and one tiny bit stronger... Thank you friends for being along for the adventure 😁 by @full.of.trees

On this trip, I saw many special things.

I saw the seven churches of Revelation - walking where church fathers, brothers and sisters in Christ, walked before me. Visiting the very place many laid down their life, so that the good news of Jesus may even have the opportunity to reach me, 2000 years later. What a beautiful, mind blowing thought. They died for the chance for me to know my saviour.

Greater still, I got to see the church is not dead... it is not a ruin... It is alive! Still working through His people, God is continuing to grow His family. This trip was a huge blessing to be included on; most of all to share every moment with wonderful people who love the Lord and love others with such generosity and joy.

Lastly...

I saw many good boys and good girls on this holiday - namely, the fluffy kind. I love smol creatures and I truly fell in love with a little ruin guardian I named WagTail. 😭😭😭
I will not forget how special this trip was (and I will not forget you, little pup)

Thank you, Jesus ☺️ by @full.of.trees

Yesterday was one of those days... The kind where my eyes can't open wide enough to soak in all the beauty and I feel such delight I unironically want to skip.

We drove in the sun. We saw pigs and geese and hares and deer and I scratched cows and fed lambs and we played pooh sticks. We read on a bench, we visited a medieval church. We found a church ruin, we gazed at an old windmill. We saw at a lot of precious things and we thought a lot about the one who made it all, the one who made us. What a gift to be alive. Thank you Lord for a great day. A really, really great day. by @full.of.trees

🌟 To be loved, I believe, is to be seen and embraced for the little child you really are... 🌟

Boy oh boy, do I feel loved today.

Ever since I was a smelly girl, I dreamt of an adventure that would never end, in a place where no one could tell me to grow up. Without timetables or bedtimes. Without worries or fear. A place where I could be free yet safe, wild yet home. Loved and known.

Most of all, I dreamt of sharing this land with other lost boys and girls...

Thank you to all my incredibly loving friends who on Tuesday night made this dream come true. I am so so so so rich through the love God has blessed me with; surrounded by the most beautiful, generous, thoughtful people ever. People who hold different parts of my heart, who see me in different ways and who all made me feel so special. Thank you so much for loving me and making this birthday so wonderfully whimsical❤️

As I turn 26, I look back on this dream I have had since before I could speak, and realise again... This longing I hold, is for an eternity that is calling us all home.

Thank you Lord that because of you, this lost girl is only ever pretending to be lost - because in you I am truly found. Thank you Lord that my dream is not a just dream, but a promise from you; a beautiful promise of an eternity spent with our heavenly Father, who is both infinitely younger and older than we.

Thank you Jesus for another year seeing more and embracing more of you.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Trains? Missed. Luggage? Lost. Money? Temporarily, also -- lost. (but then refound!). Japanese learned? ...

I feel very privileged to have spent these 3 weeks with my Mum travelling, resting, laughing, praying and learning all the ways she is absolutely mad and completely wonderful. Turns out, we are Hong Kongers through and through and perhaps didnt quite blend in as japanese locals... But hey, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's been a challenging and special trip that has taught me to embrace imperfection and to let go of expectations (how wabisabi of me!). Thank you mum for your incredible generosity treating me to this time together. For always having a smile on your face even when things didn't go to plan and for pointing me back to Jesus over and over. Let's do this again one day... but maybe next time with a guide 🤣 by @full.of.trees

If my mum was a colour, I would have always said she was red— fierce and fiery, stubborn and beautiful. In my most rebellious years, when I would jump without looking, headfirst into everything — someone would inevitably tell me I was just like her and I would stubbornly insist I was most certainly not.

These days a comparison to my mother is one of the highest of compliments I could receive. Somewhere along the way, this bright Hong Kong red has faded in the sun. Yet her beauty has only grown. Now, I’d tell you my mum is soft pink . Just as strong but changed by time — half as fiery, doubly as tender. To return to Lantau, the island of all my favourite bed time stories, has been to catch a glimpse of the girl she once was. I have seen this girl in the corner of my eye, chasing dragonflies under yellow skies, splashing in the stream with her brothers and sisters. I also saw her as we hid from rats and slept in a pile on the sofa — two girls laughing at fear and trusting our Father with our every need. What a precious gift this time has been. Thank you Lord ✨ 🌺 by @full.of.trees

Sweet September! So many changes and yet God remains the same. He has provided more than I ever dared to ask for and has sustained me in all my weaknesses. He's given me a new home with an amazing family, new colleagues to battle in lazer quest, new friends to beat me in bowling, financial support to meet my exact needs, the opportunity to study His word, and most all, the time and energy to love & serve His children:) I am especially thankful for lime sodas and scamps.

Thank you Jesus ❣️ by @full.of.trees

Jot told me this is the *exact* face I pull when I feel loved (and kinda smug about it). I have been pulling that face a lot this past month.

Amongst all the madness and stress of the busiest summer of my life, I am desperately trying to be thankful. To be young and full of dreams, (I've even got to see a few come true lately), to make mistakes and feel the grace of a new morning.

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
...who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
