Some days trying to accomplish something felt like a struggle. For me, I’m trying to create this website while helping kiddo with her studies (about me). Sounds simple enough eh? After all, no one is going to hold me accountable if it doesn’t work out. But because of how seriously I take both (this website […]

Sometimes it is scary to get our hopes up. Joseph was sold as a slave by his brothers to Egypt, and experienced ups and downs during this time. Once, he was thrown into prison for something he didn’t do (Genesis 39) and met two officials who were also thrown into the same prison. They both

Mean does not even cover what Joseph’s brothers did to him.

Other times we have a nagging thought that because we have not been kind, gracious or generous enough, that perhaps God is pointing his finger at us. Reading about Sarah, particularly how she handled Hagar, makes me ponder how gracious God

What three words do you remember most? For the first few years of my Christian life, Remember Lot’s Wife was on my mind all the time! Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32 (KJV) Jesus said this when he was explaining about the coming of the kingdom, and that it would come suddenly – just as the

Being in the waiting room in the hospital is scary. Even if the risk of surgery going wrong is not high for your loved one, seeing all the other families waiting for theirs is gut-wrenching. Life has its own waiting room of sorts. We may be waiting for our health to improve, waiting for a

Our society is based on meritocracy and believe that if you are smart, talented and put in the effort, that you get rewarded for your achievements. The idea of being rewarded is pretty much ingrained in how everything works – just open up the apps on our phone and the majority of them are about
