Have you ever let your emotions get the best of you? Our Voice Sherea shares a story about losing her way and how love helped her find her way back.
It’s true. After 20 years of marriage, I slept on the couch. Don’t worry about that. It’s all good now. “It’s Love after War”.
Recently, my family and I decided to move to Rancho Cucamonga. Now, I consider myself the QUEEN of change, MASTER of moving and DIVA of starting over. However, this past week can go down as one of the most stressful and emotional weeks that I’ve had to endure…EVER!
Things at the office were stressful, I had created a stressful environment at my home and my marriage was SUPER stressed (which is rare). I declared emotional war.

Are aspects of your life broken? Our Voice, Janice, shares a personal story of how God fixes the brokenness in us.
At church the other day, the speaker dished us a really interesting food for thought.
He reminded us that we have now come to live in a society where when something is broken, it’s cheaper to buy a new one than to get the old one fixed. I marinated on that.

Have you ever wondered if you are growing in your Christian life? Our editor, Touyee, shares a personal story of finding growth in Jesus Christ.
One of the best events growing up as a child was getting measured to see how much I had grown from the previous year. I could hardly stand still as my father would draw a line on the wall the few inches that I had grown. Looking at the newly drawn line on the wall, I couldn’t wait till the next one was drawn. The next morning, I would get measured again, hoping to have grown even more. To my disappointment, there was no new line. Day after day I would stand up against the wall and there was no growth. Finally, I stood on my tip-toes to achieve that new line on the wall. There was only one problem; I couldn’t stand on my tip-toes forever.

Do you have a story that is too painful to tell? What if God asks you to share it with a perfect stranger over an afternoon tea?
It’s a Saturday afternoon in LA and I was at a fashion show with my girlfriend in support of a noble women’s cause. What better way to spend your girls- only -weekend!

Our Editor Rachel debuts in WitnessLA with a story which brought her back to one of the darkest times in her life.
A few years ago, I was at the bottom of my career in Hong Kong entertainment. The company I joined was seemingly established with the biggest stars and 30 years of history but all of a sudden, it closed down. When I was drowning my sorrows in Shanghai with my friends, I met an accident which caused me to be hospitalized. That same weekend, I broke up with my boyfriend of three years. When I thought I was at the lowest point of my career, love and friendship, a close friend of mine sent me emails, asking me to come home to Malaysia, where she would be there for me. Her name was Shu.
Shu was the girl with the beautiful hair and features. She had a smile that would light up the entire college hallway. Even when she was going through tough times, she would tell me her stories with a great sense of humor. Her optimism was an inspiration to me.

Our friend, Kytia, parallels everyday circumstances, such as repairing a leak in the ceiling, to lessons that God teaches us, like healing our greatest pains from the inside out. Kytia’s testimony reminds us that God can use times of great sadness, confusion and struggle to break open our hearts and bring healing.
Recently, my husband and I had our first encounter with serious repairs to our apartment. Ever since the first time it rained while we were living on our own, we’ve been dealing with leaks here and there in our office. There was even an incident when I noticed a leak above my computer desk right before we were about to leave for a meeting. If we had left just a few minutes sooner, my keyboard might have been soaked by the time we returned home and that would have been a whole other problem.

Our sister Liz writes about her path from Los Angeles to Seoul and ultimately, to the heart of her Father.
Last week, I started a new job, moved into a new apartment, and essentially signed a commitment to living in Korea, my mother country (but still foreign!) for at least two years. None of this was part of the plan when I moved to Seoul from L.A. three months ago - I was going to be here a year, tops, teach some English, freelance for some publications and head back home.
But when I first arrived, I wasn’t even sure if I’d be allowed to even stay in Korea, let alone commit to living here long-term. It turned out that I was registered at birth as a Korean citizen - even though I was born and raised in America - and as a result, the government refused to issue me a foreigner’s visa, but also denied me the right to activate my Korean citizenship. In essence, I was neither Korean nor American and was basically an alien waiting to get kicked out of the country.
