Hello everyone! I was reading Psalm 30 today and recognised verse 11 as one of the lines used in the song ‘Graves into Gardens’ by Elevation Worship. It’s a song I’ve been enjoying lately and had also noticed quite a few Biblical references in the song. Thought it would be fun to do a postContinue reading “Lyric Study: Graves into Gardens”

On Joy
One topic I’ve been wrestling with this season is the question of what it looks like to have joy in the everyday. Or as I like to call it, ‘joy in the mundane.’ What does it earnestly look like to worship and praise God in every circumstance, every situation, and to do so with joy?Continue reading “On Joy”
The God Who Sees me
One of my favourite stories in the Bible appears in Genesis 16. This story occurs right after Genesis 15, where God makes a covenant to Abram that He will give him an heir “of his own flesh and blood” (Gen 15:4) and make his offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky (Gen 15:5).Continue reading “The God Who Sees me”
The God I Can’t Run Away From
One character that I’ve been able to relate to in this past season is Jonah. Like Jonah, I’m often finding myself: Always angry Always stubborn Always trying to run away Whenever I’m in a season of difficulty or conflict, my initial instinct is to just get away. “If I just leave this situation and goContinue reading “The God I Can’t Run Away From”

He will make my paths straight
One area that God has been challenging me in recently is learning to trust him. What this has looked like is not trying to control situations (or people), learning to manage disappointment and expectations, and not doing what I want to do. And to be honest, it has been really difficult. It’s so much easierContinue reading “He will make my paths straight”
On Contentment
Writer’s note: I skipped all my classes today to write this lol Today’s post will be a reflection on contentment: Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. InContinue reading “On Contentment”
The God who asks good Questions
One of the biggest things you’ll notice about Jesus in the Gospels is how much he loves asking questions. He asks all sorts of interesting and thought-provoking questions, using them as teaching devices (Luke 15:10), in challenging the Pharisees (Matthew 22:41-46), asking blind men what he can do for them (Matthew 20:29-34), and even askingContinue reading “The God who asks good Questions”
Christ, the Image of Freedom
Recently, something I had been struggling with was this unshakeable feeling of emptiness. I had felt a sense of loneliness and dissatisfaction that I couldn’t quite get rid of. I wasn’t exactly sure what had prompted or provoked it either. Some irony ensued. How could I quote the Psalmist’s words “The Lord is my Shepherd,Continue reading “Christ, the Image of Freedom”
