Something funny I noticed this morning, while looking at some of my recent blog posts, is that many of my writings can be associated with times when I went through difficulties or hardships. It is no coincidence that it’s when I feel most intensely and suffer most harshly that I also dwell on God’s wordContinue reading “From Mara to Manna”

One thing that sometimes surprises people is that underneath all my constant laughter and jesting, I am actually a bit of an emotional person. I experience my emotions very strongly, which means sometimes certain feelings or thoughts will linger for quite a while before fading away. The result of that is that sometimes feelings likeContinue reading “Pride, Anger, Yearning, and The Cross”

One area that I have always struggled with in my walk with God is a lack of faith.  I have the ability to memorize scripture, make endless biblical connections, teach, lead, and disciple others, recite the gospel, share the gospel, and all sorts of other “spiritual” things. But believing that God can and will doContinue reading “Desperate Faith”

Hello all, Long time no write! If you have not yet guessed, today’s post is about belonging, or the times I’ve felt a lack thereof. What is actually quite interesting is that for those who know me, I am generally regarded as a pretty sociable person. Some of my friends have even had the pleasureContinue reading “On Belonging”

Hello everyone, Happy Easter weekend! It has been a while since I have written, but I recently finished the Book of Job and thought its concept of a mediator to be profound. No better time to get back into it than on this sombre day before the resurrection of our Lord. To begin this post,Continue reading “There Is An Arbiter Between Us”

Hello all, For today’s post, I wanted to start with a story. A couple of months ago, while on a drive home, I was told that my cousin had passed away. I wasn’t super close with them and hadn’t seen them for a few years but the suddenness caught me a bit off guard. IContinue reading “Show Me My Mortality”

Hello all, Today I wanted to write on the topic of humility. It’s a topic we’ve been exploring at church during our Sunday school and it’s a topic I feel that I myself may need a reminder of for myself as well (because it’s better that I humble myself than have God do it 😩😩).Continue reading “On Humility”

So a few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with some of the youth at our church. We were planning a dating workshop and one question that came up was regarding the biblical stance on dating versus something like an arranged marriage. Two things here are important to note: Rather, the primary concern thatContinue reading “A Tale of Two Marriages”

Currently, I find myself in a season of waiting. And with all seasons of waiting, there is much uncertainty that comes with it. There are so many things in my life I’d like to see change in and with but the answer that I often find God giving is “not now” or “not yet.” AndContinue reading “The Lord is My Inheritance”

Some of you may be surprised to hear this but at my core, I am actually a pessimist. Not necessarily at some conscious philosophical level but with regard to the lens through which I view the world, my innate or instinctual response is that things just won’t work out. Whether it’s the world at large,Continue reading “Hope for the Pessimist”
