It’s Time We Brought Back “Sin”
Yeah, I admit. That’s a clickbait-ish title. But, I assure you, it will make sense eventually. Hear me out.
In recent years, we’ve grown less accustomed to hearing that little three-letter word, “sin.” I’m not talking about popular culture where I wouldn’t expect the word “sin” to be bandied about, unless used to convey something exciting ...
When Your Decisions Aren’t Perfect
I’m at the age where many of life’s major decisions have been ironed out, neatly folded, and tucked away in a drawer. Not all of them, of course. But some of the most significant and confusing decisions are done and dusted: Which colleges should I apply to? What career should I choose? Should I take this job ...
A Radical Message, A Costly Choice
Online shopping is a big part of my life. I buy everything from groceries to gadgets on apps. One of the perks of living in a big, bustling city in India is that I can go from clicking a few buttons to bags appearing at my front door in minutes—magic!
When Jesus multiplied the bread and ...
Rid Me of Myself – Devotional 1
With exactly a month to go before Easter, we have a few short devotionals on the theme of following in the footsteps of Jesus even as He poured out His life for us.
Have you ever had someone interrupt a heartfelt conversation? Maybe you were venting about how unimaginably terrible your boss was or how your ...
The Power of Showing Up
“Let me know if there’s anything I can do.”
That is the typical, well-intentioned text I send someone walking through a challenging season.
I’ve typed those words out dozens of times. I actually mean them. I really do want to help when a friend or acquaintance is overwhelmed by all that life’s throwing at them.
I’ve received those ...
Does This Mindset Distance You From God?
You don’t need to scroll social media for long before you hear this message on loop: “You deserve it.”
Buy this irrationally expensive purse (that costs as much as a downpayment on a house) because you deserve it.
Indulge in this decadent dessert (that you'll need to work off the rest of the week) because you deserve ...
What’s Your Default?
Ask my kids where they typically find me, and they’ll likely say, on the recliner couch in our family room. They would be right. (That comfy leather recliner is hands down one of the best purchases we’ve made.) Ask them what they’ll find me doing and they’ll probably say, scrolling on my phone (on the ...
The Three R’s of Parenting
You’ve probably heard of the three R’s of education: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Those three pillars form the foundation of academics for any student. But what about the three R’s which form the fundamentals of parenting?
As a mama of two teens, I don’t claim to share these three R’s from a place of having “nailed ...
Why “No Regrets” Is An Unhelpful Phrase
Although I was determined not to mindlessly scroll on my phone in the new year, I found myself swiping my screen on Instagram the other day. Thankfully, my pointless perusal turned out to be partly helpful because it became the introduction of this blog! (I know...excuses, excuses, excuses!). While browsing, I came across a Bollywood ...
