For context: My school allowed senior students to write and present a speech on behalf of the student body that would be given at graduation. I made it as a finalist, but I guess it was not meant to be hahahaha. However, I still wanted to share it with you. I fastened my seatbelt, glancing […]
I was reading Daniel 3 yesterday, and something new stood out. I saw the importance of having friends who share your convictions. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were unwilling to compromise their beliefs to please Nebuchadnezzar. They were all on the same page in knowing what God required of them. They all knew the truth and […]
Well, it’s Valentine’s Day. We know every day is a day of love, but we do a little extra and feel the lovey-dovey emotions. Hahaha! Today, I wanted to pen an open letter to the future love of my life. I do not know where she is or what she is doing, but this is […]
One of the things I have been learning is to not allow myself to view those who God has placed in my life in this season through the lens of those who have hurt me in a previous season. It is easy to see people through the lens of hurt, trauma, etc. It is easy […]
As I reflect on the year 2022, I cannot help but be proud of myself for learning to never allow the absence of people to cause me to forfeit creating memorable moments, even if it was by myself. Moving from a different state to a new university as a transfer junior was challenging. I found […]
It is easy to become engulfed in the modern culture’s busyness cycle and yearn to be the next big success story. Contentment seems to be a long-lost virtue, as culture teaches us to never become satisfied and always crave to be and have more. Have we taken the opportunity to sit back and reflect on […]
Today makes one year since I made the decision to quit my job. A job that was an answered prayer. It was one of the most challenging decisions that came with many tears, uncertainty, and mental battles. It was also a decision I did not make without seeking wise counsel. However, as a person who […]
So, a few days ago, I was driving out of the parking lot with a group of people on our way to celebrate one of my friend’s graduation. I have driven multiple times with ease, traveling hours at a time. As I was reversing out of the parking lot, though admittedly quite aggressively, I slammed […]
Well, hello there! 👋 I know it’s been a while, but I have returned to share this word with you today. While sitting at dinner, reflecting on this season of my life, the word “SELAH” came to me. Some of us may be familiar with the word if we have read some Psalms. Some scholars […]
This blog discusses the importance of recalling and trusting in the vision God gives, emphasizing that while the vision may seem distant, it has an appointed time. I reflect on my personal experiences of forgetting the vision, the need for patience, maintaining focus on goals, celebrating small achievements, and surrendering to God’s timing.
