Truths from 2021: God Prepares

"We're getting threatening angry calls because people think you are over the limit in your guest count. You're not over the limit and are clearly following the rules, but we think you better call off the reception" - the day before our wedding. "We do not have your PCR test results yet" - only minutes …

The Problem with Fasting

This will be a difficult post for me to write. It’s not like this one will contain a lot of vulnerability or anything… it’s just that it’s about something that I feel like not a lot of Christians talk about. And because I’m not sure how to go about writing this since it’s not something …

Palm Trees, Psalm Breeze

|| Resting in God Even at Christmas We used to have a wide but stout palm tree resting in the centre of our backyard. I remember trying to climb its rough and jagged edges of the trunk, but only making it a few inches off the ground. My siblings and I spent a chunk of …

Simple September

In the short 23 years of life of I’ve lived, I’ve noticed a pattern in the lessons God seems to be teaching me. When I’m going through a difficult time, he’s either teaching me: PatienceHumilityTrust (in Him)Or all 3 at once. I’ve written blogs on all of these teachings, some of which, when I go …

To Be a Jesus Feminist

Why is my body sexualized even when I wear the most modest clothes? Is it because of the way that I stand? The way I conduct myself? Is it my age? Is it the way I smile/don't smile? (I was once told that I shouldn't smile at a man because it gives them permission to …

The Child Within

“I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God,” sings Jonathon David Helser and Melissa Helser, and recently Hillsong’s “Who You Say I am” has resonated with me as I reflect on their song lyrics that also declare our identity as children of God. But what does it really mean to …

Being Brave: Being Vulnerable

“Your identity is in Christ. It’s not in your grades, your performance as a student, it’s not in boys – how many do or don’t like you, it’s not in your friends –or lack thereof, it’s not in how you look. Your identity is in Christ”. This was something I was told all throughout youth …

Celebrating Brokenness

June has been a month of celebrations for me. Two weddings, two birthdays and one celebration of life as my friend’s grandfather passed away shortly after my own birthday. Of course, this last celebration was not a joy-filled celebration, but it was one that reminded me of God’s perfect timing none-the-less. Which, I know, sounds …

Pride and Petulance (Part 2)

Hey again! So in my last blog, I wrote about the concept of pride – my personal experiences with it and how I thought I could go about defining it through its different forms. In this blog, I want to set out to answer the question: what is petulance and how can it be overcome? …

Pride and Petulance (Part 1)

(Photo credits: Kayla Noakes) Pride and petulance. Arguably the two most prominent downfalls of humankind. Pride is what has stopped me from having joy, kept me from dealing with things I should have dealt with long ago, and it has most certainly hurt other people I care about. Petulance has also stolen my joy, it …
