I'm Fine

                             'I'm fine' is one of the most misunderstood and overused phrases in English. It's become a habitual answer to anything that actually relates to personal feelings or life in general. If we actually give it a thought, that phrase is also one of the most common lie we tell on a daily basis.
                            It's true that we can't always burden all who ask the question 'How are you?' with our problems. But life has been hard this season and covering up the hurt with pretty lies can only bring you harm. 'I'm fine' can also be true, but that also means you aren't at your best. You don't find life fulfilling or you feel you have no purpose, no goals, like a boat adrift on the pacific ocean. God wants you to live the best version of your life. He wants you to live a royal life. That doesn't mean big cars, fancy houses or that you can have everything in the world, it means that even in the most horrid place you can still be content and at peace. 
                           If you are that person who is not fine but pretends to be so, then I urge you to reach out to someone who can help. Don't overthink how they might judge you even before it happens. If you seriously have no one, cry out to God and He will send you an angel in disguise. If you believe it will be fine 'one day', that day is going to be closer than you think.
                         I'm going to stop lecture-writing this instant, but please before you answer next time someone asks you about how you are, just think for a moment and answer a bit more honestly.

Waiting on the Lord: From Restlessness to Rest

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait  on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not be faint."           Patience is a great virtue, but it has never been my cup of tea. I have always struggled to sit still or remain idle, which made it especially difficult for me to truly surrender everything into God’s control. Yet, when faced with important life choices and uncertainty about how to move forward, I realized that the Lord, who created heaven and earth, is a far better planner than I could ever be. He knows each of my days before even one comes to pass, so why not entrust my life into His capable hands?           With this realization, I decided to wait for His direction, understanding that His ways are higher than mine and that He leads us through experiences that always result in growth and learning. Waiting on the Lord, I discover...

Change Our World!

The great big Earth, Is too huge to  fathom , And its inhabitants so varied to  comprehend  . 'Change the world' is the slogan, And each blamed the world, For not changing around them. To change the world, We must first initiate it, A tiny gesture amongst our own loved ones. The whole world may be too hard, But changing how each person treats the next person, Can positively impact the world at large. Making the world a better place has been the vision for centuries.

Syncing News and Prayer

     It has been nearly four years since I last picked up a newspaper, but in the past month, I decided to take up the habit once again. This return reminded me of the reasons I had initially given it up: the hurt, the hypocrisy, and the overwhelming deluge of information that often felt more like "infotainment" than actual news. Some days, the pain and suffering depicted in the articles were so overwhelming that I struggled to finish reading. I worried that I would become desensitized, reducing extraordinary tragedies to mere phrases like "it's normal" or "that's life." In moments of despair, I turned to Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your burden on the Lord..." and I endeavored to do just that. A Divine Perspective      The Lord is always faithful, and He gently reminded me that each article in the newspaper represents real people—individuals for whom Jesus Christ, our Savior, sacrificed His life on the cross. Each person, whether a vic...
