Trusting God’s plans, my husband and I shifted our focus this year to expanding our…

But what exactly does Christianity teach about the family, and why is it so important? The Family: God’s Design from the Beginning The Bible presents the family as a divine idea, not just a social…

Let’s be honest—growing your Christian faith isn’t always easy or inspiring. It’s not all morning devotionals, worship playlists, and perfect church attendance. Sometimes it’s doubts, skipped prayers, and wondering if God notices your effort. And that’s okay. It’s all part of the journey, and you’re not alone.

It’s funny how we constantly ask for something through prayer and only hope for one answer — yes.  It’s ironic how we always say, “Thy Will Be Done,” yet we doubt anything that is not a “yes” for an answer.  As I shared in my previous blog, I could not divulge details because of the uncertainties. But now, we know. We recently experienced an answered prayer. And yes, just because I refer to it…

It is not only the uncertainty of tomorrow that scares us but also the haunting of the past. Not only does it make you remember the why, but it also makes you rekindle the how.  I am at a point in my life where I cannot care less about tomorrow because I would like to depend on God’s plans for me.
