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…
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…
A Love Focused on Self is Not Love
There’s a kind of love that feels good, sounds right, and even looks admirable from a distance—but when examined closely, it is rooted not in care for others but in the elevation of self. We live in a culture that often confuses love with desire, attention, or validation. “Love yourself first,” we’re told—and while there…
Fly, Anyway
Change has a way of showing up uninvited. It doesn’t ask permission. It doesn’t wait for us to feel ready. It just comes—wild, messy, unpredictable—and often at the most inconvenient times. And yet, in the wild of changing things, something within us stirs. We resist it at first, of course. That’s only human. We long…
Am I loved Or Just Useful?
There’s a kind of ache that doesn’t show on the outside. It creeps in quietly, usually when you’re going about your day doing what needs to be done—folding laundry, preparing meals, answering texts, holding things together. It’s a slow ache that whispers a question you didn’t expect to ask, one that makes your heart pause:…
Elephant In The Room
We often think it’s the big issues that weigh the heaviest in our lives—those thunderclaps of betrayal, failure, loss, or disappointment. But what if it’s not the loud, crashing moments that define us—but the soft, subtle ones? The ones we barely speak of? The little things? The truth is, little things are often the elephant…
Matter of Understanding
If God could whisper one truth into the soul of every person on Earth, what do you think He would say? I’ve sat with that question often—especially in moments when life is heavy, confusing, or just incredibly human. And though I don’t pretend to know the fullness of God’s mind, Scripture and the life of…
The Quiet Difference
That Changes Everything… Have you ever felt desired by someone—but still strangely empty? It’s a feeling many of us know too well. In relationships of all kinds—romantic, platonic, or professional—there’s a subtle but powerful difference between being wanted and being valued. One feeds the ego. The other nourishes the soul. To be wanted can feel…
Who Am I Becoming?
Life Is Not What We Make It, But Who We Are We’re taught from a young age to chase after dreams, set goals, and create the life we want. “Life is what you make it,” they say — and in many ways, there’s truth in that. Our choices matter. Our effort counts. But if we…
