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. The woman dragged into the temple courts, accused of adultery, humiliated before a crowd. The bleeding woman who reached for the hem of His robe, desperate for…

God-Given Identity
The Blessing of Our True God-Given Identity In a world that constantly tells us who we should be—louder, thinner, smarter, more successful—it’s no wonder so many of us wake up wondering who we truly are. We search for meaning in titles, approval in relationships, validation in likes and follows, and value in performance. And yet,…
God’s Written Testimonies
God Writes Testimonies That Take Time We love the idea of a quick breakthrough, a fast-forwarded healing, or a neatly wrapped-up story. We long for the moment where everything finally makes sense, where the pain was worth it and the waiting is rewarded. But the truth is, God’s testimonies often unfold slowly—layer by layer, moment…
The Power of a Gentle Spirit
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…
What Would Jesus Write?
If Jesus were to write your eulogy… Let’s just say it now: if Jesus were in charge of writing our eulogy, the whole thing would look very different from the carefully curated highlight reel we hope people remember about us. Forget the fancy bullet points and the “She was always so organized” line someone says…
Serving Without Self

It’s the kind of service that doesn’t seek attention or reward. It simply flows from a heart surrendered to God. This is serving without self. In today’s world, the word…
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 Art of Healing
God is good all the time! All the time, God is good! I’m sure you’ve heard or seen that a dozen times. And I’m pretty sure we all look at this differently at different stages in our lives. It could be the answered prayers we’ve been waiting for. A dream job, financial blessings, a promotion,…
Knowing My Bible
I received this Bible as a requested birthday gift from my daughter. And I couldn’t be any happier. When I was in my late teens-early twenties, I tried to read the Bible. And it was a failure. I remember being told by the elders that you will be sent all kinds of distractions from reading…
Wisdom Through Pains
Hebrew chapter 12 verses 3-17 tells us that God uses our pains to discipline us, sanctify us, and give us wisdom. But why our pains? Have you ever asked yourself that? Pains, based on my own experience, have a way of changing us or molding us. I do have my shares of pains, most of…
