This week, I released my new book and reflected on personal relationships, emphasizing self-worth. I’ve learned to prioritize those who genuinely value me over those who don’t. Understanding love languages is crucial for meaningful connections. It’s essential to release unsupportive relationships and trust God to bring the right people into your life.

I have faced moments of being misunderstood and even criticized by people who barely know me anymore. But I have come to see that growth often makes others uncomfortable.

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 […]
What do you do when you find yourself in places that do not exactly fit the vision God showed you? What do you do when your life takes an unexpected turn that appears contrary to your destiny? What do you do when your dreams and goals seem so far to reach and feel like never-ending […]
This blog post emphasizes the importance of steadfast faith amid societal pressures, as many believers are drifting away from biblical truths in these challenging times. I urge Christians to remain committed to their faith and resist turning back, highlighting that true discipleship entails holding firm to God’s Word and continuing to stand for Christ despite cultural opposition.
