The Pain That Transforms The Soul
As I sat on the edge of my bed, there was this sudden urge to just sit down and ponder for a while. How many years has it been? A little over six years, “that long, Ann!” I thank God because until now, I am still here. Those valleys and mountains that I walked on and climbed…

Many times, we heard the statement, “Let Go and Let God.” Something that I have learned in a hard way. Why is it really letting go of something or someone is so hard to do? I had that season of questioning, too. I came to a point life where I had to re-evaluate my life…

Being Still in a World That is Constantly Changing
These days, I feel that my soul is saddened as I heard (and read) that one of my favorite Christian authors had veered away from the truth. She is a great influencer and a distant mentor to me. I have read many of her books, listened to her podcast, and watched her faith grows even…

There is a Time for Everything
We have heard so many times the statement, “God is never late nor early. He is always on time.” Easy to understand, right? However, this seems to be hard when we have our own plans and timeline. At times, we want to align His timeline with ours not the other way around. I am impatient.…

Trusting God with Uncertainties (4 Ways to Deal with the Unknown)
