God is Bigger Than Our Temporary Pleasures

What you are about to read is something that I wrote long ago; it could have been before I even decided to start a blog page. I forgot about it but kept the tab open on my laptop. Today, I opened my laptop to write something new, and this writing was open. The first fewContinue reading “God is Bigger Than Our Temporary Pleasures “

God is Still There

A friend asked me today how my blog page was going. I suddenly realized it has been such a freeing experience as I reflect on scripture and write encouragement from that. At the same time, I realized how much I have been struggling recently, and because of that, I have not felt like writing toContinue reading “God is Still There”

JOY

Today was a chaotic morning; as soon as I opened my eyes, I started crying. As much as I wish this did not happen, some days are just like that for me. I have a crazy chemical imbalance that sometimes overwhelms my eyes with tears and my mind with sadness, even when I have notContinue reading “JOY”

Jericho Walls Gotta Come DOWN

Jericho walls. The Lord commanded Joshua in Joshua 6:3-5 to “March around the city once with all armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark.

God > Your Struggles

Scripture is powerful—DUH! It’s literally the word of God. Today, my anthem is 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, which reads, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” I feel all those things: crushed, in despair, abandoned, and destroyed, but GodContinue reading “God > Your Struggles”

Worth Found in Christ

For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with self-worth. After becoming a Christian, I still felt defeated and ruled by my thoughts that I’m not worthy of anything— especially love. I have always had a problem with letting negative thoughts circle in my head. Since I have been a Christian, I have heardContinue reading “Worth Found in Christ”
