Many might not know this, but I can be quite the worryguts. I tend to stress about little things. I find it difficult to just be STILL and allow things to take it’s course (#ThingsMarriedLifeTeachesYou). My husband could probably tell you stories about how I get when I do not know what’s happening next. Be […]

I often wonder, why are there people who worry about my life more than me. People who have a say in my life other than my parents. Those who still manage to direct my life decisions. It’s amazing how I end up feeling miserable because of them, making me feel like it’s all my fault. […]

There are so many voices around us that make us question our worth. But our worth is found in Christ. We were created in His image and we are called to rule and reign with Him in the heavenly places.

I know that most of us believe that we are God’s children. If we are His children then why do we live in fear? Why are we fearful of being influenced by the world? Shouldn’t it be the other way round? Don’t we have God’s grace that is superabundant over sin? Or Christ’s blessings that […]
