Ephesians 2:1-10 “When it rains, it pours.” I feel like I have been using this statement a lot lately to explain the current season of life I am going through. With every step forward, it seems I am knocked 20 steps back. It is during these times that I sometimes ask God what I have […]
My dear beloved child always remember I am here with you. I am not blind to the circumstances and situation you are in right now. All this shall pass my love, just hang on a little while longer. You are stronger than you think and these days are not new to you. […]

How do you handle stress? I have different stages. For example, at the beginning, I’m like, “Ok, I can do this. It will be ok”. Then it goes to, “Oh my gosh! I’m doomed. What am I going to do?” Then finally, after retreating to my room and getting so far into a funk, I […]
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.
