Every day, I wake up to face a battle. A battle that is simmering under the surface, smoldering to become a full on war, but ever so quiet that those around me might not know that the attack is on the fringe. The battle has a name: Fear. I have written many times about the…
In the Eye of the Storm
During these past few days, my heart has been burdened not only for those who are literally facing the storm that is coming, but also those who are in the midst of storms in their lives. There is fear of the unknown on both levels. Questions are being asked: Is the water going to rise…
Count Your Blessings
I am about to mark another year of life, aka my birthday is just around the corner. For some reason, this birthday seems to be looming over my head. No, it’s not considered a big milestone. I’m not entering another decade. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t see any big changes happening in my…
The Race Called Life
Since beginning to write this blog, analogies always enticed me to think a little deeper. The kitchen is my sanctuary to find recipes, situations, and all-out-disasters that bring reminders of the truth of who God is, how he impacts our life, and how we should live out our lives as believers in Christ Jesus.

A Year in Reflection
When I sit back and think about all that happened this year, I am truly overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed by God’s grace, mercy, love, and faithfulness. I started this year with nervous apprehension of going through my last two semesters of NP school and I am finishing this year with joyful satisfaction of being a…
Praying “Your Will Be Done.”

But as I prayed tonight, I had never entered into His presence with such a sacrificial, humbling prayer as…
On the Verge of Adventure
On the verge of adventure, I want to shout to the mountains with joy and praise to the Lord that a season of my life has finally come to an end. Do you know what season that is?? It’s called SCHOOL. Yes, there might be some that comes in the future, but at the moment,…
The Sweet Embrace of Unconditional Love
As I sit here in my bed, with sleep evading me, I ponder the sweetness of unconditional love. Specifically, God’s unconditional love that sweeps over me in times of failure, sin, restlessness, joy, happiness, and every aspect of life. It is earthly circumstances of failed attempts of love that remind me that people’s love is…
Biggest Decision
Over the past few weeks, I have given much time and thought to a big decision I have to make in the next few months. I sit in reflection during these moments pondering my “big” decisions that have led me to where I am. The biggest decision I think about isn’t where I went to…
God is Able
As I stood with tears streaming down my face this morning during the song, “God is Able,” my heart yearned to believe the words that were on the screen: “God is able He will never fail He is Almighty God Greater than all we seek Greater than all we ask He has done great things”…
