  • Here’s how your thoughts run your life

    At church, we were taught that we need to be careful what we think because it runs our life. Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.Proverbs 4:23 NCV But if you insist that it doesn’t, it’s interesting to note that not only does the Hebrew Bible tells us about it, modern… Read more

  • Neither here nor there

    If you are going through major life transitions, especially in these times where you feel like holding your breath is the only thing you can control, you might feel like you’re in a state of in-between.

    For the past few weeks now, we were taught at church about how bitterness takes root in our hearts and grow. As it says in Hebrews 12:15 NLT: Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to… Read more

  • When fear keeps you awake at night

    Going to bed becomes daunting; sleeping, dreadful. Yes, there are different kinds of fear. And often, those you do not see are the ones that can strike you the most. From Life is in the Transitions: But not all fearful situations are as clear cut as staring into the eyes of a four-hundred-pound predator. Many… Read more
