As a young girl, I used to think I was fearless. This changed in my teenage years, a time when I struggled through terrible teasing, awkward growth spurts, and some health challenges. Scars of which followed me into womanhood. Over the last decade, I have seen God work on my heart and my mind. He […]
Sis, stop trying to help God. Let God be God
“Yours Lord is the greatness, and the power and the majesty. For everything in heaven and on earth is yours. All things come from you and of your own do we give you.” There are so many songs of praise and worship that declare the glory and majesty of our God. We hear testimonies […]
Swimming against the rising tide of fear
I was back at the grocery store, the fourth time in the last few days. Yet another “item” I had forgotten to buy, one more “thing” that might be required in this unexpected season. And I couldn’t help but feel strained. It’s obvious that my time management and grocery making skills need a bit more […]
Finding Hope in a season of Hopelessness
There’s so much going on now that it’s easy to get lost in a sea of fear and panic, particularly with the deluge of unanswered questions and uncomfortable silence. Cities and nations seem to be running helter skelter trying to find a way out, a cure, a solution for a pandemic no one expected. It […]
20 Professions God started
Did you know that God was the initiator and originator of some of the professions and careers we do today? This may seem like a weird post; perhaps you were expecting twenty names of God or something similar. But recently, I was thinking about how we often limit God to religious matters and believe our […]
What do I get for knowing God?
‘What do I get for serving God?’ ‘What is in it for me?’ ‘Why should I leave the pleasures I crave for Jesus?’ These questions are probably at the deepest corners of our hearts. Questions we ask ourselves but are afraid to voice out. Deep down, we often believe there should be something in it […]
Sis, it’s not about you
In living life, I’m often caught up in my self; my needs, my wants and everything about me. And the danger is that it feels okay. It feels normal but it’s anything but. One recurring theme I have gotten from reading the Bible is that my life is not about me. It’s all about Jesus. […]
How to heal a broken heart
Unrequited love is hard. It is that beautiful and thoughtful gift a recipient thrusts away, uninterested by the acts of the giver. It strikes right at our hearts and leaves us bereft – emotionally, physically and spiritually. Life becomes a haze, a foggy mirror of what could have been and we’re left swinging through moments […]
Here’s the answer that changes everything
Have you ever had someone come up to you, confident that you will be able to help them but you don’t have the answer they need? You have some words for them, but realize that it doesn’t really answer their question, which means they have to do some work themselves. I often get emails from […]
What I didn’t know about modesty
I believe this will be a quick one: What usually comes to mind when you hear the word modesty? Do you expect to receive the rules or guidelines of what is the expected or acceptable mode of Christian dressing, essentially, what is right? Perhaps, these are heavy words to describe how we should look; yet […]
