On a journey to embracing Minimalism
Embracing minimalism is not easy, but it’s possible, especially in North America, a continent that embraces and even compels people to spend more. The consumerism lifestyle thrives here and I’m slowly beginning to see how harmful this can be, especially if you want to live a debt-free or stress-free life.
How to Write Christian Fiction that Captivates Your Readers
Ever wondered how to write Christian fiction that captivates your readers? Then this post is for you.
I love reading. It’s the reason why I cannot fathom the reason why people exclaim they’re bored. Reading was my way of immersing myself in a different world. It was also my way of connecting with the writer’s mind.
3 surprising Modern-day Idols present in churches today
Modern-day idol worship practices still happen in churches today and although some are quite obvious, the most dangerous ones are the subtle ones you’d outrightly deny if you were queried. But I’m not here to talk about the obvious ones. This post is about modern-day idolatry and how some of us may be guilty of this.
How to thrive in difficult seasons
Ever wondered how to thrive when going through a difficult season? There were times I wished I didn’t have to go through some seasons, the same way I wished God would scrap winter and leave autumn, spring, and summer. But that would be unrealistic because that’s just the way the world has been designed to exist.
Are you struggling in your relationship with Jesus? You’re NOT alone.
If you’re subscribed to my newsletter, you’ll have read how I’d been struggling in my relationship with Jesus for the past couple of weeks, flowing into months. It took me a while to even understand that I was struggling because I just assumed that’s how it was meant to be. For a long time, I kept thinking I had to do more, or maybe because I wasn’t doing enough.
On being a Virgin: Legalism or Holiness?
I was brought up in a society where saving yourself for the right person was applauded and automatically meant you would end up with a good spouse deserving of you. This made people equate virginity with purity. So although I intended to keep myself for the right person, I still missed out on the real reason why this was important.
Debunking myths about hearing God
I don’t think there’s anyone who’s mastered the art of hearing God, because it’s a continuous process that we get better at as we grow spiritually, and as humans, we must recognize that only God knows all and he’s all in all. Growing up, whenever I heard men of God say God spoke to them, I always felt it came in a loud thunderous voice or a distinct sharp voice that made it obvious it was God speaking
You validate me
I don’t think there’s anyone in the world that doesn’t crave acceptance or validation from others. I believe we’ve all been wired this way. It’s the reason why we strive to protect how people see us and would do everything to preserve the image people have of us. Are you still wondering why you or some other people struggle with people pleasing?
5 reasons why you may be experiencing a creative slump, and how you can overcome it
A friend once asked me how it feels to be in a creative slump. Although I tried to put my thoughts into words, I still struggled to articulate my feelings. A creative slump is a miserable place to be. Not only because you’re not doing what you’ve always loved to do, or perhaps what God has called you to, but because you’re imprisoned by thoughts that question your creative ability and leave you disabled in the process.
It’s okay to not be okay
I grew up with the understanding that I needed to have everything figured out, or act like I had everything figured out. And it’s interesting how we’ve allowed this to filter into our spiritual life and ultimately every other aspect of our lives. Vulnerability doesn’t come easy to anyone. Vulnerability demands that we take off our masks and reveal who we really are inside.
