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.

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…

Dear Solo Mama: Knowing your Identity in Christ.
Let This Be Your Gentle Nudge Back to Wholeness and Hope. Many times I have come across messages both offline and online that disparage, exile and belittle mothers especially single mothers. A message with a target to destroy and taint and to dismiss any attempts at knowing your worth and identity in Christ as a single mother. Today, you get to find out that your identity in Christ is still intact. I’m a woman who’s navigated cultures, questioned systems, and learned—often the hard way—that identity rooted in God is the only thing that never shifts. I’ve worked abroad, lived away from family, and wrestled with human ways and dogmatic religious…

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,…

God Centered Female Friendship That Heals and Elevates
Finding Soul-Nourishing Sisterhood as a Solo Mama A God centered female friendship that nourishes is the ideal we would all want. But many of our friendships with other women are unfortunately marred by undertones of tension, misalignment, jealousy, fakeness, cattiness, gossip, pity parties, enabling, or even celebrating poor choices.Yet, we know how deeply valuable female friendships can be. We instinctively seek them out—not only for companionship but also for emotional safety. There’s a natural trust in confiding in another woman, especially when we’ve learned that some male friendships eventually shift into attraction, blurring boundaries and disrupting the original dynamic. Women understand our inner worlds. They mirror our joys, our battles,…
