One of my biggest struggles as a Christian (and I have so many of them) is trusting God whenever I’m pressured by life. It’s really frustrating for me; I have doubted the presence of God and his very existence. I know you probably get me on this, but our problems feel so real sometimes that…
Thinking about His greatness overwhelms me. Who is God? I get the feeling behind asking this question. Sincerely, I understand. When someone asks this question, it is from curiosity to understand that there is probably more to this world than everything they think they know. If you are here, chances are that you have the…
Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Seeking God can be misunderstood; that’s why I want to talk about it a little. God is not a creature that can be lost, which you can find. He is the same yesterday, today,…
In a world that feels so real, connecting to God feels hard because it is easy to get lost in the noise. For us who believe in God, there is a need to feel connected to him at all times. Looking back on my own experience, I realise my desire for more led me to…

I have struggled with my own share of low self-esteem. I know what it means to feel like you’re not as beautiful, brilliant and intelligent as other people. The emptiness and the void that never fills seem to go with me wherever I go. Low self-esteem can make one constantly feel and think small. It…
I know there are different types of personalities, temperaments and more. I think they are important and give a sense of personal identity. The truth is that we all try to understand ourselves and our loved ones. These personality types help us make sense of it all, although we can truly understand and know ourselves…
Obeying God’s word seems so easy and at the same time very complicated. Obeying the normal commandments can be a little easier for a few of us. What I mean is that I’m sure we are not necessarily looking for someone to murder (I hope so…). I mean, for most of the commandments of God,…
This phrase is my story, and it’s still my story. I am not talking about the success part of this story, but the struggle of standing firm. My story is about me falling after standing, the pain and shame I felt on the floor, pushing myself to get up, only to fall again. Some…
