I bet we've all been in that place where we started to question our stand in God and our belief in Him because we're experiencing things that 'Christians shouldn't be experiencing'. First off, is there really such a thing in life as 'not for Christians?' I know that coming to the realisation of our identity … Continue reading “I’m a Christian, why should this happen?”

The cain-spirit
Taking a walk this morning and putting Steffany Gretzinger Pieces song on repeat, has been the highlight of my morning and definitely my day. The reality of the Love Abba has for us is always so refreshing and empowering and it is always worth it to remind ourselves and remember the price that was paid … Continue reading The cain-spirit
What I think I need
The bible speaks of a danger in praying amiss. It says "you do not receive because you ask wrongly". So with time, we learn that praying without understanding is almost just as bad as not praying because when we pray without an understanding of what we're asking for, there is the possibility that we are … Continue reading What I think I need
The only acceptable trials and errors
I was thinking to myself this morning how we really do not know, until we have tried. I'm of the opinion that while experience isn't the only teacher, it is a great and practical way to get a lesson. I look at people doing certain things today and I truly admire their effort and commitment, … Continue reading The only acceptable trials and errors
Chief Judges by nature
People are so quick to use the "you don't understand" line, even when they have not done justice in explaining, they just believe that you don't or won't understand and I've learnt to be very patient with such people. Not pushing them to explain beyond what they have but admitting that yes, maybe I really … Continue reading Chief Judges by nature
The Default settings
I think the devil has a very cunning way of getting us to do the exact thing we said we would not, whats funny about it is how we sometimes convince ourselves of having thought through whatever it is and made the best loving and logical decision. I remembered this morning how I use to … Continue reading The Default settings
The Human Butterflies
I totally believe when people speak of the 'transformation power' that lies in the gospel. Until you have been changed, I don't believe you have experienced the 'hit' of the gospel because that's the purpose of knowledge, to bring change, and the purpose of the gospel is positive change, not just change. The kind where … Continue reading The Human Butterflies
“You’re a Christian girl for God’s sake!”
I re-told the story of my friend below for a post on upliftgirl.com which I think you should totally check out! Re-told because it was by mouth it was said to me but I put it in writing. True story, I hope you're blessed, but even more, made more aware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I had already known … Continue reading “You’re a Christian girl for God’s sake!”
Can I just be independent?
I've heard people say so often how they feel like the biggest problem in our generation is the idea that we seem to always know what's best for us and can go after it. Looking at that first, it seems like a really good thing, but I think what the older generation struggle to understand … Continue reading Can I just be independent?
“I’m not ready”
I was speaking to a Mentor recently and I shared with her how 'unready' I felt in a certain aspect of my life. To be honest, I was expecting a hug (over facetime), a cute endearment, followed by an encouragement to keep praying and doing what I can till I feel ready. Something like 'Aww … Continue reading “I’m not ready”
