Break The Cycle

In my daily life, there have been many times when I recognized that I was going in cycles. There have been plenty of moments where I said to myself “wait, I’ve been in this situation before.” By definition, a cycle is “any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated.” I have

Calm Your Worries

For The past several weeks I have been reading and studying the book of Matthew. The book of Matthew is a fruitful and edifying book that looks at the life of Jesus Christ from the perspective of Jesus’ disciple Matthew. Matthew was a tax collector as well as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. In

Joy In The Morning

Recently, I have been encountering many challenges within my life. Although these challenges are helping me grow, they can become pressuring at times. It becomes easy for me to become bogged down and worried about if I can make it through the challenges I face. God will place challenges in our lives to position us

Who am I Becoming?

One of my favorite things to do in my leisure time is listening to podcasts. I was listening to a podcast named Serendipity with motivational speaker Inky Johnson.

Owning these material things is not necessarily evil; however, looking to those things as idols is not what God wants us to do and will not grant us

Go To The Source

In a book called Detours by Dr. Tony Evans (pastor/theologian), Evans mentions a saying that has been around for a while. A saying that I believed the majority of my life. It is the saying “God will never put more on you than you can bear.” Although it may feel good to say, it is not a

Made in God’s Image

When we were born, all of us take a certain feature from our parents. We can take the shape of our parent’s nose, the color of our parent’s eyes, or the texture of our parent’s hair. We all take up features of our earthly parents. However, we take up the whole image of our heavenly
