    Walking in Faith Even When Others Don’t Uplift You

    We all know the drill when it comes to dealing with people—in the workplace, at home, or out in public. It’s a mixed bag of emotions: moments of joy and peace, cooperation, teamwork, alternating with strife, rejection, competitiveness, slander, jealousy, and more. Yet somehow, we manage to get through the day without pinning someone by the neck against the wall. Haha. Don’t you think there’s a God holding the reins against evil? He keeps things tidy, and we get glimpses of grace throughout our mostly messy human existence. Story-time: Preparing for the Contest Recently, I had an English speech contest for the kids I teach. I had coached them for…

    From Striving to Rest: His Strength in Our Weakness

    Some mornings, I wake up feeling like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I’ve spent so much time striving, pushing, and trying to prove I’ve got it all under control. But God’s Word reminds me that true strength isn’t found in what I can do—it’s found in surrender. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Waking Up in His Presence This morning, I woke up well-rested, still basking in the worship atmosphere of the night before. Recently, I started rereading the Bible, holding on to God’s promise: “If you seek Me, you will find Me.” Scripture also reminds us that “we do not receive because we…

    3 Examples of Feminine courage in the Bible.

    Instead of the palatable pseudo-femininity being shoved down our throats we have examples of feminine courage in the Bible far more empowering. Lessons that inspire you to thrive as a woman. Not ones that equates being agreeable with being invisible—all at the cost of your self-worth and dignity. Today, we’re going deeper than aesthetic femininity. Yes, the makeup, the cute accessories, and the delicate clothes have us all in a chokehold—but womanhood is far more expansive. After a week of peace filled with deeply felt joy and love wrapped in God’s stillness, I began to reflect on biblical femininity—the kind of power expressed in softness, wisdom, intellect, strategy, humility, beauty,…

    🌸 Mindset shifts to reclaim your femininity.

    Image by Vlada Karpovich Pexels. Tired of being told to shrink, silence your emotions, or harden up?Do you wonder how you can reclaim your femininity? In a culture that favors conformity, mutes softness, and centers male-coded norms—especially in workplaces—choosing to remain womanly, elegant, and poised can feel almost criminal. Your radiance, and polish can irritate others. Your refusal to shrink can cause discomfort. But here’s the truth: softness is not a flaw—it’s your power. You can unlearn toxic conditioning, honor your femininity, and rise with sacred strength. A Reflection on the Challenges Women Face Before we reclaim, we must first recognize. The first step in healing is naming the forces that have worked…

    I Was Here: The Call to Purpose, Passion, and Leaving Your Mark 

    Carvings on Desks and the Legacy We Leave Behind  When we were young and in school, we would often come across carvings etched on wooden desks, chairs, long-dried concrete, or even on trees. They always followed a simple format:  Name. I was here. Year A to Year B.  That was it.  Nothing poetic or philosophical—just a name imprinted in time. I did the same, carving mine on my elementary school desk. That was the stage in life where I felt most alive, full of wonder and adventure. I truly lived.  “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12  A Gentle Reminder of Our…
