A Letter to the Women of Today… They weren’t given names in the text. The woman who knelt with her alabaster jar, breaking it open in pure devotion.

Why I Keep Writing
When Words Save You: Why I Keep Writing Even When It’s Hard There are days I sit in front of the screen and feel absolutely empty. No inspiration. No spark. Just silence, fatigue, and the heaviness of too much life. And yet—I write. Not because I always feel brave. Not because I have it all…
Expectations at a Cost
When Letting Go of Expectations Comes at a Cost There’s a common message in today’s world: “Lower your expectations, and you won’t be disappointed.” On the surface, it sounds wise. Peaceful, even. But beneath that advice lies a quiet truth we don’t talk about enough. In relationships—whether romantic, familial, or friendships—expectations often come from a…
When God Feels Silent
Learning to Trust in the Stillness… There are seasons in life when God feels quiet. Not absent. Not gone. Just… silent. You pray, and the words feel like they’re drifting into the void. You ask for signs, direction, comfort—but everything around you feels still. Empty. Quiet. It’s the kind of quiet that makes your doubts…
What We Do for Others Lives On
There’s a quiet truth that often gets lost in the noise of achievement and self-preservation: “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” At first glance, it sounds poetic. But if you sit with it long enough, it begins to unfold like a…

The comfort of knowing you…
The Ugly Side of Boundaries
No one really talks about the awkward, uncomfortable, slightly soul-crushing part of setting boundaries — especially with the people you love. It’s supposed to be this healthy, empowering thing. And it is. But sometimes, it also feels like breaking your own heart a little. Because the moment you stop saying “yes” to everything, the people…
Value What You Have
While You Have It.. It’s a phrase we hear often. It sounds simple—almost too obvious to be profound. But life has a way of teaching us just how deep those words really go. We don’t always recognize the value of something while it’s right in front of us. The everyday moments. The people who text…
Mujo
The Beauty and Bittersweetness of Life’s Impermanence There’s a quiet, poetic word in Japanese—mujo—that means impermanence. At first glance, it sounds like something we might want to avoid. After all, most of us crave stability. We long to hold onto moments, people, places, seasons. But mujo isn’t cruel. It doesn’t come to steal joy. It…

In a world that often equates strength with dominance and volume, a gentle spirit can feel invisible or even mistaken for weakness. But Scripture tells a very different story. In fact, gentleness is not only a fruit of the Spirit—it is a powerful force that can change hearts, heal wounds, and reflect the character of…
