    When was the last time you went through a challenging time? Perhaps you’re in one right now. What did you do to get through it? Did you make sure you were well rested? Or perhaps you spent a lot of time praying because it was the only way you could cope. Whatever we do the…

  • Overcoming Anxiety and Trusting God

    Overcoming Anxiety and Trusting God

    Life is more than the food we eat and the clothes we wear. It is more than the work we do and the friends we share. We read in Matthew 6:25 -34 that God considers us to be worth more than birds and wildflowers. Birds are fed despite not sowing or reaping crops. Wildflowers are…

    When the resolutions fail… what next?

    The New Year has passed and you started your resolutions off strong. Then the motivation faltered and while you continued for a while one day of not doing turned into two, then three and now it’s been over a week and February is almost here. You are disappointed in yourself and wish that you’d stuck…

    Building Stronger Relationships: Resolutions for loving others as Jesus did.

    How often do you talk to your friends? Have you spoken to them this week or even this year? What about your family? Do you have a good relationship with them?

    Unlocking the Power of Resolutions: How to Cultivate a Growth Mindset & Achieve Your Goals

    Resolutions. A word that at any other time of the year doesn’t hold much power but coming up to the New Year it’s tossed around a lot as plans are made to be healthier in the coming year or to stop doing something because it’s bad for you. Nothing is wrong with this, it’s good…

  • Sabbath: A Guide to Spiritual Rest

    Sabbath: A Guide to Spiritual Rest

    Lately, my thoughts have drifted to the Sabbath and how we should observe it. I know it isn’t always possible to observe it on a Sunday for various reasons, but I believe it is something we should observe as Christians. Genesis 2:2-3 confirms this because if our all-powerful God, who can do all things, takes…

  • Overcoming Discouragement

    Overcoming Discouragement

    Sometimes, it seems like there is nothing good in this world. We are faced with constant negativity, rejections, obstacles, and illness. It is hard, and what hope we have starts to fade. We’ve all been there, discouraged, wanting things to improve but not knowing how or when waiting for what feels like an eternity with…

    Discomfort: Why must we suffer to grow?

    Discomfort is something we all live with. A fact of life and one that we would rather live without. Yet, without it, none of us would be who we are today. As painful and annoying as it can be, discomfort is not our enemy. It has shaped us and refined us in good ways and…

  • The Idea of Perfection

    The Idea of Perfection

    Perfection is something we all strive for. Perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect life. Yet, it is something we fail to reach over and over again.
