Lies I've been facing in my ministry journey so far.
More Lies?!
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 …
The Problem With The Gospel
I have been a Christian for several years now and for many of those years, I never questioned what I was taught. I took everything as fact and never spoke up. When friends had questions that I couldn’t answer about my faith, I sometimes doubted, but I knew God was out there because I saw …
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 …
Learning to Ask
Hello lovely readers! If this is your first time reading one of my blogs, I want to thank you for taking the time to do that! I pray that my writing reaches the right people at the right time, and that my readers feel encouraged, but also challenged in some ways. In this blog, I …
The Plan: Sown, Rooted and Growing
Where did the past 5 years go?! As I graduate and take the time to reflect on my undergrad, this question repeatedly floats in my mind. Dedication to writing papers, exams and what seemed like endless assignments, has now ended. To think I have been a student for 17 years and then all of a …
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 …
