http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-not-to-say-to-teacher.html
Walking the narrow path. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. What not to say to a teacher. 8220;What do you do for work? 8220;I’m a teacher.”. 8220;Oh cool. Work shouldn’t be too hard then, you get all those holidays! I swear I’ll punch the next person who says that to me. The greatest misconception anyone could have about teaching is the alleged luxury of our ‘numerous’ holidays. For anyone wondering about the life of a teacher, I hope this post is insightful. While waiting, I start admin work. Key in marks of...

walking the narrow path: A Walk to Beautiful
http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2008/09/walk-to-beautiful.html
Walking the narrow path. Monday, September 8, 2008. A Walk to Beautiful. Needless to say, I was in tears by the end of the documentary. The constant question plaguing my mind was ‘Why? Why do these poor women have to suffer? Why do people in the west have such easy access to medical services and not Africa? Why would anyone want to perform female genital mutilation on their daughter? Why does God allow such inhuman practices in His created world? When is too much, too much? Do I need so many bags? Every ...

walking the narrow path: Oh what a holiday!
http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2009/04/oh-what-holiday.html
Walking the narrow path. Monday, April 27, 2009. Oh what a holiday! In some sort of chronology:. 1 Went to Seafood by the Bay at Blackwattle Bay for graduation dinner. Ames joined us and we had a wonderful time. Fresh oysters, white wine, fish, chocolate pudding… DELICIOUS! 2 Drove to the Hunter Valley, stayed on a farm. Had farm fresh eggs (like literally, fresh from the chicken) for brekkie every day. DELICIOUS! Marveled at God’s creation. This is ‘I was lazy, so I painted daisies’. 7 Went to the NRL g...

http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2008/12/just-because.html
Walking the narrow path. Thursday, December 4, 2008. On my recent trip back to Singapore I was rummaging through some old journals and pictures and I stumbled on this poem. I remember finding this poem online some years back, but for the life of me, can't remember who I had in mind when I read it. (Yeah, I know. Pathetic. Heh). Have you ever loved another,. Yet the lover had no care. Has a tear escaped your eye,. Yet no more would even dare. Does your heart melt with a glance. As you offer up a prayer.

walking the narrow path: February 2009
http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Walking the narrow path. Sunday, February 22, 2009. God is God and I am not. This post has been a long time in the making. It is a story about a series of coincidences that many might consider mere chance. But from the eyes of a humbled, saved sinner, it is a reminder of God’s sovereignty and providence. This is my story. Will I go hungry? Will I ever find a job? December passed rather slowly. Christmas came and went and the New Year arrived. God answered prayers. He provided me with work the moment ...

http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2008/09/get-tenth-one-free-for-every-nine.html
Walking the narrow path. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Get the tenth one free for every nine. Consumerism seems to have increased exponentially in recent times. Or maybe it’s just that I never bought into it and am now slowly realizing its insidious grasp. I recently acquired my sixth loyalty card. Loyalty what, you say? If I keep this up I’ll have nine by the end of this year. Those were so in mode back when platform shoes were fashion must-haves. Oh wait, or is that Woolworth’s slogan? I’m often f...

walking the narrow path: Sticking out like a sore thumb
http://sarahchewedraisins.blogspot.com/2009/07/sticking-out-like-sore-thumb.html
Walking the narrow path. Friday, July 24, 2009. Sticking out like a sore thumb. I recently read an article on polyamorists in the Sunday Age Magazine (Melbourne’s Sunday newspaper). Polyamorwhat? You say. Polyamory. The word comes from the Greek and Latin words poly and amor, which translates into “many loves”. Polyamory is basically having emotionally intimate and loving relationships with more than one person at a time with the consent of everyone involved. Another polyamorist is quoted as saying, R...
