Make Your Big Decisions Here
You know what puts things into sharp focus? Death. That’s what. Clearly, I’m not talking about one’s own passing. Because that would make the phrase “sharp focus” a somewhat inert point. I’m referring instead to the brevity of life which brings our priorities into perspective.
In the last week, I attended two funerals, one online and ...
Don’t Let This Stop You
“When I first saw you walk on stage I thought to myself, “I don’t think this lady can teach me very much,”" she said.
Her words threw me for a loop, especially since this was the first time we were meeting. Our church service had just wrapped up and she had come up to me to ...
As We Enter Holy Week
At the start of the year I whispered a prayer: "God, I want to press on to take hold of that for which You took hold of me." My 'word for 2023' was not a word but a phrase—"press on"
I didn’t want 2023 to pass by in a blur of busyness or the lull of ...
Reclaim The Art Of Slowing Down
Four zucchinis lounge on my kitchen counter awaiting their fate. Soon, they will be peeled, shredded, and folded into a batter of flour, sugar, oil, and eggs along with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla.
Their sacrifice will be worth it: The aroma of freshly-baked zucchini bread will waft through my house carrying ...
When You’re Unsure About How To Pray
“I have been praying for God to do His will in your situation.”

I had been praying with all my heart and soul for a breakthrough in my situation. ...

As the world turns the spotlight on the revival taking place at Asbury University, I too am excited.
If you happen to have missed the news, on February 8th students of Asbury University in Kentucky gathered for their Wednesday chapel service. But instead of filing out at the end of the service, the students lingered on ...
What Does It Mean To “Pray in Faith”?
For the last few weeks, I have been somewhat anxious. Several things took up space (rent-free, I might add) in my mind. Worry woke me up at odd hours in the night, as I considered outcomes and outputs to certain questions. As I write this post, the answer to several of those questions is still, ...
Do Our Words Need An Overhaul?
My mom recently bought me a typewriter as I wanted to add to my vintage memorabilia collection. So far, my repertoire of relics from the past includes a rotary phone that doesn’t work and a music system that belonged to the husband when he was a teen (Given that the hubs may also fall in ...
Help! I Want To Have Consistent Quiet Times!
A year or so ago I decided to give intermittent fasting a trial run. If you’re familiar with the practice, I attempted the 16/8 model where I planned to abstain from food for 16 hours and follow it up with an 8-hour eating window. I know thousands of people across the world have had dazzling ...
