Christians are often mocked and ridiculed for our faith. Especially when we choose to have hope and faith when there is trauma. Even some Christians find it impossible, and even stupid to hang onto hope, and God, when we’re surviving rape, miscarriages, physical abuse, or death of a loved one. I’m guilty of that. I…

Dear Satan, Most people know you by your usual names, but not many have figured out that you are also called ‘Depression’. You are the whisper we hear that tells us what failures we are. It’s you whispering that we are hopeless, and our loved ones are better off in a world where we cease…

When I’m asking God for guidance, I ask Him to dumb it down for me. I tend to question if it’s God telling me no, or if it’s my own doubts. Is He telling me yes, or is it my own wants that I’m hearing. This has led me to ask God to make His…

One night, while everyone else was sleeping, I was wide awake, feeling antsy. I was mindlessly scrolling on my laptop, when I felt an overwhelming urge to check out WordPress. I checked out the different price points, looked into having my own domain, and started to develop an idea of what I wanted to pay…

Recently, I’ve been accused of being racist, and not a Christian. My crime? Not liking Meghan Markle. I firmly believe that she is fake. She’s a manipulative, lying, conniving woman, that I once thought highly of. For some people, they can’t see past race, so if you don’t like someone who is even remotely black,…
