When You Remember What You Got Wrong

Whenever I’m ready to condemn myself, I often think about Peter. Peter walked with Jesus. He saw the miracles, heard the teaching, was right there… and he still denied Him. And I think about how impulsive Peter was. How many times has he gotten it wrong? Yet Jesus still extended so much grace to him. I remind myself of that often because sometimes past decisions or things I’ve done will come…

I Don’t Want to Miss My Life Trying to Perfect It.

Lately, I’ve been having a quiet kind of awakening about life. I’ve been looking back and realizing how much of it felt like a performance… like I was trying to get it right instead of actually living it. And somewhere along the way, we were taught that perfection is the goal. That if it doesn’t look polished, if it’s not impressive, if it’s not “better” than someone else’s… then it’s not…

What Letting Go Really Looks Like

Jesus answered him, “If you wish to be perfect — meaning spiritually mature, shaped by godly character, lacking nothing morally — go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow Me.”Matthew 19:21 A lot of us — myself included — can see ourselves in the young man in this passage. We hold tightly to what we have because the alternative…

How Did Our Hearts Get Here?

There are a lot of Christians walking around today who are far removed from Christ’s most basic teaching: love. Yes, we’re human. Yes, we fall short. But sometimes it feels like we use that as a convenient excuse to carry an ugly heart.Think about it—Mahatma Gandhi wanted nothing to do with Christianity, not because of Christ, but because of how Christians treated each other. And honestly, when…

God Is Intentional—and It’s Always for Your Good

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” There are many times I’ve wished I could understand the mind of God and know His ways. (Please do not overthink what I said here ) But as I think about it, would I really…

The Ephesians 3:20 Woman, We Must Rise With Boldness

June is a month of anticipation—a month of breakthrough—where the impossible begins to show up as possible in our lives.It’s the month that nudges us closer to the hope we carry for ourselves. It reinforces the beauty of God within us and His presence in our lives, reminding us that we are worthy—divinely created as beautiful and powerful women of God.When we put God first in our lives—when we…

The One Thing That Changes Everything

If you could have one thing in life, what would it be? Would it be riches, fame, power, or position?Would it be peace, mental stability, love, or good health?What would it be — or maybe even a mix? Life is often what we make it. Despite what may be said, we do have control over some of our outcomes. The beauty of our lives is that they are predestined— divinely orchestrated by God Himself. So,…

10 Things We Can Do This Lent to Make a Difference in Life

As I thought about Lent, I wondered what I could give up for the next 40 days. But nothing really came to mind. The usual options—giving up meat, sweets, or social media—felt familiar, almost automatic. But when I dug deeper, I asked myself: Do these sacrifices truly create a change in me? Do they make a difference in someone else’s life? Lent is about sacrifice, but sometimes it becomes…

What If All We Need Is Gratitude?

As I go through the Book of Numbers in the Bible, I realize it is not the easiest book to understand, primarily because of its many laws and sacrifices to redeem the Israelites.Yet, as I read, I recognize some valuable lessons for all of us. The Israelites’ journey was marked by a continuous cycle of complaining and murmuring. It is said that a journey that should have taken approximately eleven…

Seek Wisdom and Fulfil God's Desires For Your Life

Wisdom is the beginning of all things, and with wisdom, we can do so much more—bring joy to others, facilitate success, and not just surface-level success, but a success that encapsulates freedom, prosperity, love, goodness, peace, and more. These are the things that allow us to be our best to others and ourselves.So how does one attain wisdom?Throughout Proverbs, numerous verses speak to wisdom,…

How To Get The Desires Of Your Heart

Delight yourself in the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 (ESV) The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great…

Trusting Divine Timing And God's Perfect Plan

Divine timing, in essence, is God’s perfect timing. It is the moment predestined long before we even recognize the need, unfolding precisely as it is meant to and never a second too soon or too late. Many times we desire things on our terms—how and when we want them. Yet, I would caution that whatever we receive outside of divine timing often falls short or proves meaningless in the grander…

The Power In True Sacrifice

“Sir, do you remember me?” Hannah asked. “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord. I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and He has granted my request. Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” And they worshiped the Lord there. 1 Samuel 1:26–28 (NLT) The story of Hannah is one we can all learn from. Her humility in the…

Vulnerability And Being Christian

He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”—Matthew 26:39 (NLT) It’s an opportune time for me to share, through the Holy Spirit, about the powerful relationship between vulnerability and being a Christian. What is vulnerability? According…

Return To The Father

I was recently reflecting on the many Christians who have given up on themselves, believing they are beyond redemption. They feel overwhelmed by their own shortcomings, which may have distanced them from God’s grace. Unable to see themselves as worthy of God’s pure and boundless love, they forget His invitation to come as we are. Guilt blinds them to the immense act of love and forgiveness…

Time For Change, Stepping into Our Greatness

Change is a constant force in our lives, yet it often remains a daunting challenge we must face at some point. We find ourselves talking about change, yearning for it, yet hesitating to take the necessary steps. We stay in the familiarity of our comfort zones, holding onto routines and relationships that no longer serve our growth. But deep down, we know that to shine and be the greatness we are,…

With Christ In The Vessel, Let's Smile At Our Storms

Today’s world, with all of its happenings, can sometimes feel like we are on a boat similar to Peter and the disciples. The waves are coming at us, ready to capsize this boat of life that we’re on, threatening us with tumultuous waves that fill us with dread and fear, causing us to not know our next best move. We are frightened, and rightfully so, because, truth be told, even the best captain…
